Distributed Systems Management (DSM) Interface
•
Subsystem Control Point (SCP), an intermediate management process that routes
commands from SCF to the APLMGR, initiator, or responder process being
managed.
•
Event Management Service (EMS), a collection of processes, tools, and interfaces
that provide event collection, event logging, and event distribution facilities for
communications subsystems. All OSI subsystems—such as APLMGR, FTAM,
OSI/AS, and others—report significant events in the form of event messages to an
EMS collector, which logs the messages. These event messages can then be
retrieved interactively from an EMS distributor process. You can use information
retrieved from EMS to monitor the activity of NonStop FTAM and recognize
operational problems on the network.
For more information about EMS, refer to the EMS Manual. For more information
about APLMGR and FTAM operator messages, refer to the Operator Messages
Manual.
•
PTrace (print trace), a utility that selects, formats, and displays trace data. You
collect trace data by issuing the SCF TRACE command to an APLMGR, initiator, or
responder process. For information about the SCF TRACE command and PTrace,
refer to the OSI/FTAM Configuration and Management Manual, the PTrace
Reference Manual, and the OSI/FTAM and OSI/APLMGR SCF Reference Manual.
