Who Should Read This Manual
Who Should Read This Manual
This manual is intended for individuals writing applications that manage TS/MP objects
in a Pathway subsystem. Such programmers also need the task-oriented information in
the TS/MP System Management Manual. It is also assumed that readers have a
general knowledge of HP NonStop system programming concepts.
To use this manual effectively, you should be familiar with:
•
Basic NonStop system architecture.
•
Programming for the HP NonStop operating system.
•
Programming using TAL, TACL, C, or COBOL.
•
Reading declarations written in the Data Definition Language (DDL), as described
in the SPI Programming Manual.
•
The Distributed Systems Management (DSM) facilities.
What Is in This Manual
Sections 1 through 3 of this manual provide SPI overview information. Sections 4
through 9 provide reference information (syntax and complete descriptions) about the
SPI commands for TS/MP objects. Sections 10 through 14 provide descriptions of
event and error messages returned by the PATHMON process and SPI. Sections 15
through 17 contain programming examples.
This manual is structured as:
•
Section 1, Introduction, contains an overview of how to use this manual and an
introduction to Pathway subsystems, Distributed Systems Management (DSM),
and management interfaces to the Pathway subsystem.
•
Section 2, TS/MP Management Programming, summarizes the SPI programmatic
interface to the Pathway subsystem and the programmatic commands and object
types defined for TS/MP. This section also provides information about starting and
opening the PATHMON process programmatically.
•
Section 3, SPI Programming Considerations, provides some summary
programming information and discusses SPI programming considerations that are
specific to TS/MP.
•
Section 4, SPI and EMS Standard Definitions, provides definitions for SPI and
EMS standard tokens used in commands, responses, and messages.
•
Section 5, ZPWY-DDL- Definitions, provides definitions for TS/MP-specific tokens
used in commands and responses.
•
Section 6, ZPWY-TKN- Definitions, provides definitions for TS/MP-specific
variable-length byte string tokens used in commands and responses.
