Glossary-18
node. In general, a system or device that follows the protocols of a specific network and that
other systems or devices in that network can address.
In Expand (the proprietary network for HP NonStop syestems), a computer system that
is part of an Expand network of computer systems. A node address is designated by a
symbol before the name (for example, \NY in file names or @NY in Transfer
correspondent names).
nonadjacent MTA. An MTA in the X.400 network that has no direct path to your OSI/MHS
subsystem. See also adjacent MTA or remote MTA.
noncritical event. A DSM event that is not crucial to system or network operations. Each
subsystem determines which of its events are noncritical by setting the value of the
emphasis token to FALSE. See also critical event.
nonconfigured object. An object whose characteristics have not been specified to
OSI/MHS through SCF or through a management application that issues programmatic
commands. See also configured object.
nondelivery report. A communication directed by an MTA toward the originator of a
message, indicating why the message could not be delivered to the UA of its intended
recipient, and including trace and diagnostic information.
nonreceipt notification. An indication to the sender of a communication that the
communication was not received by the intended recipients.
nonsensitive command. A DSM command that can be issued by any user or program
having access to the target subsystem—that is, a command on which the subsystem
imposes no further security restrictions. For NonStop data communications
subsystems, the nonsensitive commands are usually information commands
(commands that cannot change the state or configuration of objects). See also
sensitive command.
NonStop Kernel. The operating system, which consists of the core and system services.
The operating system does not include any application program interfaces.
NonStop SQL. A relational database management system that combines the ease of use of
the Structured Query Language (SQL) with the application performance provided by
the NonStop Kernel.
NonStop tools. The utility programs that perform everyday activities including editing,
formatting, restoring, backing-up, sorting, spooling, binding, compiling, and installing.
NSAP (network service access point). The logical point at which Network Layer services
are provided by the Network Layer entity to the Transport Layer entity.
