In this manual, the following sections give background information and programming
considerations:
•
The architecture of the OSI/MHS subsystem and how a management application fits
into it (Section 1, Introduction to Management Programming for OSI/MHS)
•
The types of objects managed by OSI/MHS and the operations necessary to manage
these objects (Section 1, Introduction to Management Programming for OSI/MHS)
•
The kinds of events reported by OSI/MHS (Section 1, Introduction to Management
Programming for OSI/MHS)
•
How to set up communications with the OSI/MHS subsystem, including how to start
the OSI manager process either interactively or programmatically (Section 2,
Communicating with the OSI/MHS Processes)
•
Programming considerations for management applications that manage OSI/MHS
(Section 3, SPI Programming Considerations for OSI/MHS)
The following sections provide reference information:
•
Subsystem-specific information about tokens, token values, and related definitions
defined by other sources (such as SPI and EMS) and used by the DSM interfaces to
OSI/MHS (Section 4, Common Definitions)
•
Descriptions of tokens, token values, and related definitions defined by OSI/MHS
(Section 4, Common Definitions)
•
Detailed descriptions of all programmatic commands that can be directed to the
OSI/MHS subsystem and their corresponding responses from the OSI/MHS
subsystem (Section 5, Commands and Responses)
•
Event messages including cause and recovery information (Section 6, Event
Messages)
•
Descriptions of password server interfaces, including information about the MTA
password server programmatic interface, MS password server programmatic
interface, and the Master Password Server (MPS) (Section 7, Password Server
Interfaces)
This manual also includes a Glossary that defines relevant OSI terms and Compaq
terms.
