Pathway Environment Overview

The Pathway environment includes a group of related software tools that enable your

organization to develop, install, and manage online transaction processing

applications.

Transaction processing applications consist of two types of programs: requester

programs (called clients in other environments) and server programs. Among other

benefits, this design allows application logic to be distributed near the resources it

manages. For example, presentation services are located in requester programs near

the I/O devices; database logic resides in server programs near the database.

Requesters and servers communicate using the message system provided by the

NonStop operating system.

Depending on your hardware and software configuration, a Pathway environment

includes one of these:

•

TS/MP (for managing server-based objects and the overall Pathway environment),

other software (for managing requester-based objects), and additional optional

software.

•

Both TS/MP (for managing server-based objects and the overall Pathway

environment), the Pathway/iTS product (for managing requester-based objects),

and additional optional software.

Your Pathway environment also includes processes and objects you create. The key

elements of a Pathway environment are listed in these paragraphs. Each element is

described in detail later in this section.

Objects and Processes Provided by TS/MP

The following elements of a Pathway environment are provided by TS/MP. For
