About This Manual
This section describes the purpose and the contents of this manual and of other manuals
closely related to this manual.
This manual is one of a set of manuals that describe the NonStop Transaction
Services/MP (NonStop TS/MP) and Pathway/Transaction Services (Pathway/TS)
products. The contents of these products are as follows:
•
NonStop TS/MP: This product consists of the PATHMON process, the LINKMON
process, the PATHCOM process and interface, and the Pathsend procedure calls.
•
Pathway/TS: This product consists of the terminal control process (TCP), the
SCREEN COBOL compiler and run-time environment, and the SCREEN COBOL
Utility Program (SCUP).
Together with the NonStop Transaction Manager/MP (NonStop TM/MP) product, the
NonStop TS/MP product forms the foundation for Tandem’s open transaction processing
and client/server products on NonStop Himalaya systems. Such products include the
NonStop TUXEDO system, the Remote Server Call (RSC) product, and the Pathway
Open Environment Toolkit (POET).
The Pathway/TS product supports requester programs that run in the Guardian
environment and communicate with terminals and intelligent devices. It requires the
services of the NonStop TS/MP product.
Purpose of This Manual
This manual is a combined reference manual and programming guide. It contains
reference information about the Pathsend procedure calls, and it also contains
information about how to design and code applications using these calls.
In addition, this manual contains information about how to design and code Pathway
servers to be used with all types of requesters and clients.
Who Should Read This Manual
This manual is intended for programmers writing Pathway applications that include
Pathsend requesters, Pathway servers, or both. Readers should be experienced
programmers familiar with the Guardian environment and the Tandem programming
languages they are using.
