OVNM 5.3 - Operations Agent for NonStop Object Configuration Client Guide

Appendix A: Subsystems Managed 78
7. EXPAND
The EXPAND communication protocol is an NSK proprietary protocol that is used by different HP NonStop
nodes to communicate with each other. Customers who have multiple HP NonStop systems use and depend
upon EXPAND for their applications to run smoothly. OCC has predefined counters/modifiers that facilitate
the monitoring and recovery of the lines and paths defined under the EXPAND subsystem.
8. FILESYS
The FILESYS subsystem deals with the monitoring and management of files on a HP NonStop system. Files
can be monitored in various ways and predefined actions can be taken if and when the criterion is met.
The counters/modifiers that have been predefined for this system greatly facilitate the management of files.
You can use the FILESYS objects to manage SQL/M*.
9. ICE
Internet Communication for the Enterprise (ICE) is a major communication application available from
Insession Technologies. This software is used by hundreds of organizations worldwide to help run their
mission critical HP NonStop applications. In this release, OCC helps to monitor and manage APPL, PU and
TNSERVER objects. Based on customer demand additional objects can be incorporated.
10. ICE-DLSw
ICE - DLSw connects HP NonStop servers to backbone networks. The solution performs encapsulation
functions previously executed on data center routers. With ICE - DLSw, any IP router can be inter-connected,
and any HP NonStop LAN controller can be used.
11. MQ-SERIES
MQSeries messaging products enable application integration by helping business applications to exchange
information across different platforms by sending and receiving data as messages. They take care of
network interfaces, assure ‘once only’ delivery of messages, deal with communications protocols,
dynamically distribute workload across available resources, handle recovery after system problems, and
help make programs portable. So programmers can use their skills to handle key business requirements,
instead of wrestling with underlying network complexities. The MQ-SERIES subsystem will only be available
if you have installed the MQ-SERIES plug-in.
12. NETBATCH
NetBatch subsystem is used for scheduling, and control systems for batch processing. It takes advantage of
the HP multiprocessor architecture and allows running of batch operations in a single or in many processors
concurrently.
13. OSS
The Open System Services (OSS) environment provides a user and programming interface similar to that of
the UNIX operating system. The OSS environment combines the benefits of the UNIX operating system with
the features of the HP NonStop operating system.
You can use OSS objects to monitor Weblogic and TUXEDO processes. The log files created by Weblogic
and TUXEDO can be monitored using the OSS LOGFILE objects.
14. PATHWAY
Pathway is an application framework shell provided on the HP NonStop platform. Developers using
Pathway can utilize the various facilities offered by this framework. Predefined counters/modifiers manage,
monitor and recover the various objects defined under Pathway like Servers, TCP and Terminals.
15. PLUGPLAY
Plugplay subsystem monitors Primary CPU Switched, Backup CPU Switched, Device Audited Switched,
Primary Status Switched, Primary Access Switched, Primary Path Switched, Primary Path Used Switched,
Backup Status Switched, Backup Access Switched, Backup Path Switched and Backup Path Used Switched.
Whenever any of the above-mentioned attributes change their state, OCC treats it as a violation state.
16. PROCESS
The Process subsystem has predefined counters/modifiers to manage and monitor various processes
running on the HP NonStop platform.
