This is the seventh edition of the HP NonStop TMF Reference Manual, formerly

This edition incorporates two previously published manual supplements:

•

TMF Supplement for Limits and Defaults Changed After RVU G06.17

•

TMF Supplement for Offline Recovery Operations, which describes features

introduced with TMF 3.2.

This manual also includes notes dealing with NonStop SQL/MX Release 2.0 features.

In particular, these notes cover the use of ANSI names in three TMFCOM commands:

DUMP FILES, INFO DUMPS, and RECOVER FILES.

The following changes, many from the two manual supplements just noted, have been

made in this edition:

Section 2, Using TMFCOM, revises the following discussions:

Entering TMFCOM Commands notes the extended capacity (28KB) of the SPI

buffer through which TMFCOM communicates with TMFSERVE, describes the

text, and includes minor clarifications.

Continuing Commands on Multiple Lines also notes the extended limit (28672

characters) on the total length of TMFCOM command text, and provides minor

clarifications.

This section also includes other minor clarifications and corrections, and refers

readers to a document entitled TMF Supplement for Limits and Defaults Changed
