WINDOW Object
A service name is fully qualified to the Telserv subsystem by preceding it with the
process name the service is to be associated with. For example:
$ZNT01.SERVICE1
WINDOW Object
The WINDOW object is the virtual terminal through which a user’s data can be sent
and received after undergoing the appropriate transformation to Telserv semantics.
The WINDOW object provides the interface between a client application and the
Telserv process.
Naming Conventions for the Object
Adding WINDOW objects involves specifying names that you will later use in your
management commands. The names you assign must conform to the following
conventions
When you assign an object name to a window object, you must assign a unique name
to each window using the same Telserv process. Windows associated with different
Telserv processes running on the same NonStop system can have the same window
name.
The name must start with a pound sign (#), and can be followed by up to seven
alphanumeric characters. The first character following the pound sign must be a letter.
For example:
#A123456
It is recommended that you use the letters WIN followed by a terminal number to
identify a window. For example:
#WIN05
The Telserv process uses the letters PTY when it dynamically creates windows. To
avoid conflicts, you should not use the letters PTY followed by a terminal number to
identify a window.
A window name is fully qualified to the Telserv subsystem by preceding it with the
process name the window is to be associated with. For example:
$ZNT01.#WIN05
Window Types
Telserv provides three types of window: static, dynamic, and SU.
Static Window
Static windows are those configured through SCF as subordinate to a SERVICE
object. Telserv allocates one of the available static windows from the service pool to a
