noninteractive mode
noninteractive mode. An operating mode in which commands are entered through a
command file.
NonStop Kernel. See Tandem NonStop Kernel.
NonStop processing. On Tandem NonStop systems, processing characterized by continued
operation even when a component fails, when equipment is being repaired or replaced,
or while new processors or peripheral devices are being added to the system. In the
Guardian environment, NonStop processing is provided by means of fault tolerance and
process pairs.
NonStop SQL/MP. The Tandem relational database management system that promotes
efficient online access to large distributed databases. See also Structured Query
Language (SQL) and Enscribe database record manager.
NonStop Transaction Manager/MP (NonStop TM/MP). A Tandem software product that
provides transaction management, transaction protection, and database consistency in
online transaction processing (OLTP) environments. It gives full protection to
transactions that access NonStop SQL/MP and Enscribe databases, as well as recovery
capabilities for transactions, online disk volumes, and entire databases. The component
of NonStop TM/MP that provides these features is the TMF subsystem. See also
Transaction Management Facility (TMF) subsystem.
NonStop Transaction Services/MP (NonStop TS/MP). A Tandem product that provides
process management and link management functions for OLTP applications on Tandem
NonStop systems. NonStop TS/MP consists of the PATHMON process, the LINKMON
process, the PATHCOM process and interface, and the Pathsend procedures. Together
with NonStop Transaction Manager/MP (NonStop TM/MP), NonStop TS/MP forms the
foundation for Tandem’s open transaction processing services, including those provided
by the RSC and POET products and the NonStop TUXEDO system. See also
Pathway/TS and NonStop Transaction Manager/MP (NonStop TM/MP).
NonStop TUXEDO application. The collection of machines, servers and services, and
System/T components defined by a single configuration file in the NonStop TUXEDO
environment. See also NonStop TUXEDO transaction processing environment and
Pathway application.
NonStop TUXEDO environment. See NonStop TUXEDO transaction processing
environment.
NonStop TUXEDO native client. See native System/T client.
NonStop TUXEDO server. A server process or program managed by the NonStop
TUXEDO system administrative facilities. See also Pathway server.
NonStop TUXEDO system. Tandem’s implementation of the BEA Systems, Inc., TUXEDO
enterprise transaction processing system. Major features of the NonStop TUXEDO
implementation include the use of the Tandem core services (Tandem NonStop Kernel,
NonStop Transaction Services/MP, and NonStop Transaction Manager/MP) to provide
the Tandem fundamentals (scalability, availability, and manageability) for TUXEDO
