NonStop™ TUXEDO server
NonStop™ TUXEDO server. A server process or program managed by the NonStop™
TUXEDO system administrative facilities. See also Pathway server.
NonStop™ TUXEDO system. Compaq’s implementation of the BEA Systems, Inc.,
TUXEDO enterprise transaction processing system. Major features of the
NonStop™ TUXEDO implementation include the use of the core services on
NonStop™ Himalaya systems (the NonStop™ Kernel, NonStop™ Transaction
Services/MP, and NonStop™ Transaction Manager/MP) to provide the NonStop™
Himalaya system fundamentals (scalability, availability, and manageability) for
TUXEDO applications. The NonStop™ TUXEDO system runs in the OSS operating
environment. See also OSS environment
.
NonStop™ TUXEDO transaction processing environment. An environment that provides
the API and transaction monitor functions of the BEA Systems, Inc., TUXEDO
transaction processing system in addition to the benefits provided by the core services
on NonStop™ Himalaya systems: the NonStop™ Kernel, NonStop™ Transaction
Services/MP, and NonStop™ Transaction Manager/MP. See also Pathway transaction
processing environment.
O
object. An entity that is subject to independent reference or control by a management utility
or interface such as PATHCOM, PXMCOM, or PXMCFG. Examples of objects are
devices, communications lines, processes, and files. The types of objects referred to or
controlled in a PATHMON or Pathway/XM environment include NODE, LINKMON,
PATHMON, PATHWAY, PLAN, PROGRAM, ROUTER, SERVER, SERVICE, TCP,
TELL, and TERM.
object attributes. See attributes
.
object file. A file generated by a compiler, linker, or binder that contains machine
instructions and other information needed to construct the executable code spaces and
initial data for a process. The file can be a complete program that is ready for immediate
execution, or it can be incomplete and require linking with other object files before
execution. Compilers for languages such as COBOL85 produce object code. See also
pseudocode file
.
object type. In the Subsystem Programmatic Interface (SPI) or in a management utility or
interface such as PATHCOM, PXMCOM, or PXMCFG, a category of objects to which
commands are directed. Object types for PATHMON or Pathway/XM environments
include NODE, LINKMON, PATHMON, PATHWAY, PLAN, PROGRAM, ROUTER,
SERVER, SERVICE, TCP, TELL, and TERM. The SPI interface to the Pathway
subsystem uses different names for some of these object types and defines additional
object types; for example, PM, LM, PROGTERM, and TCPTERM are object types in
the SPI interface.
