TS/MP Management Programming Manual (G06.24+, H06.03+)

NonStop TS/MP Management Programming Manual—540082-001

About This Manual

This preface describes the purpose and the contents of this manual and other manuals

that are closely related to this manual.

This manual is one of a set of manuals that describe the TS/MP and Pathway/iTS

products. The contents of these two products are:

•

TS/MP: This product consists of the PATHMON process, the LINKMON process,

the PATHCOM process and interface, and the Pathsend procedure calls.

•

Pathway/iTS: This product consists of the terminal control process (TCP), the

SCREEN COBOL compiler and run-time environment, and the SCREEN COBOL

Utility Program (SCUP).

With the HP NonStop Transaction Management Facility (TMF), the TS/MP product

forms the foundation for HP’s open transaction processing and client/server products.

The Pathway/iTS product supports requester programs that run in the Guardian

environment and communicate with terminals and intelligent devices. It requires the

services of the TS/MP product.

Purpose of This Manual

This is a reference manual for the token-oriented management programming interface

to TS/MP, which, together with Pathway/iTS, is called the Pathway subsystem in

Distributed Systems Management (DSM) terminology. It describes Subsystem

Programmatic Interface (SPI) commands used to configure and control TS/MP objects

in a Pathway subsystem and to monitor the status and performance of those objects. It

also provides syntax and complete descriptions of event, error, and warning messages

issued by the PATHMON process and by the Subsystem Programmatic Interface

(SPI), using the Event Management Service (EMS).

This manual is a prerequisite to the Pathway/iTS Management Programming Manual.

For information about the management programming interface to Pathway/iTS objects,

see the Pathway/iTS Management Programming Manual.

This manual is also intended to be used in conjunction with the TS/MP System

Management Manual, which discusses how to manage TS/MP objects and provides

strategies for system management.
