Introduction
The Compaq Open Systems Interconnection/Message Handling System (OSI/MHS) is a
1988 implementation of the X.400 Message Handling System (MHS) model. Compaq
OSI/MHS allows you to build a large-scale X.400 messaging network on Compaq
computers. The OSI/MHS subsystem runs on any Compaq NonStop computer that uses
the NonStop operating system. OSI/MHS can interoperate with Compaq systems and
other X.400 systems.
This manual describes the subsystem-specific details for using the Subsystem Control
Facility (SCF) to configure, control, and inquire about the Compaq OSI/MHS
subsystem. SCF can be used as an interface to the OSI/MHS subsystem. The OSI/MHS
subsystem is fully compatible with the conventions defined by SCF.
The Subsystem Control Point (SCP) is the interface between SCF and the OSI/MHS
subsystem. SCP is an intermediate management process that receives and distributes
messages for data communications subsystems. It is described in detail in the SPI
Common Extensions Manual and the Subsystem Control Facility (SCF) Reference
Manual.

OSI/MHS within the SCF environment.
