Prerequisite
Knowledge
To use this manual effectively, you should be familiar with Tandem system
architecture, have a reading knowledge of the Data Definition Language (DDL), and
have a working knowledge of both the SNAX/APC subsystem and the language in
which you are programming: TAL, C, COBOL85, Pascal, or TACL.
Before using this manual, therefore, you should be familiar with the material covered
in the following Tandem manuals:
Data Definition Language (DDL) Reference Manual
(only a reading familiarity with DDL is required)
SNAX/APC Planning and Configuration Manual
The Tandem manuals describing the programming languages you use

Documentation
The SNAX/APC manual set and several other Tandem manuals provide information
that will be useful to you during configuration and operation of SNAX/APC.
SNAX/APC Manuals In addition to this manual, the following Tandem manuals relate specifically to
SNAX/APC:
The SNAX/APC Planning and Configuration Manual describes how to plan for,
install, and configure SNAX/APC.
The SCF Reference Manual for SNAX/APC provides information on the Subsystem
Control Facility equivalents to the commands described in this manual
The SNAX/APC Application Programming Manual describes the programmatic
interface to SNAX/APC and provides guidelines for writing transaction programs
that communicate with SNAX/APC.
The Operator Messages Manual describes the operator version of events. A section
of this manual describes SNAX/APC operator messages.
Other Tandem Manuals The following Tandem manuals contain general information about SPI, EMS, and the
management of data communications subsystems. You should be familiar with the
material in these manuals, and you will probably need to refer to them while using
this manual.
Introduction to Distributed Systems Management (DSM) describes Distributed
Systems Management and the interfaces it manages.
The SPI Programming Manual describes how to write programs that use the
Subsystem Programmatic Interface (SPI). This manual is not subsystem specific.
The Event Management Service (EMS) Manual describes the Event Management
Service (formerly called the Event Management System) and its programmatic
interface.
The SPI Common Extensions Manual describes how to develop a communications
management application. It includes basic information on the Subsystem
Programmatic Interface (SPI), commands and responses, and event management.
It also provides definitions for the ZCOM- and ZCMK- tokens.
