unsolicited-message processing (UMP)
format defined by the program. The message is sent first to the TCP. It contains a header
with information that is used by the TCP and a body with information that the TCP
delivers to the SCREEN COBOL program.
unsolicited-message processing (UMP). The feature that allows terminals running SCREEN
COBOL requesters to accept and reply to unsolicited messages sent to them by Guardian
processes outside of the PATHMON environment.
USCODE. The object code for the part of a GDSX process that is developed by the user to
provide device or access-method specifics such as control operations or data-stream
translation. USCODE is bound with TSCODE to produce an operational GDSX process.
See also TSCODE and Extended General Device Support (GDSX).
user conversion procedure. A procedure that lets users make their own validation checks or
conversions of data passed between a SCREEN COBOL program and a terminal screen
or intelligent device.
ViewPoint application. An extensible interactive application for managing operations in the
Guardian environment. It provides tools for interacting with multiple Tandem
subsystems, including PATHCOM, allowing a system manager to easily control an
integrated Tandem system from one location.
volume. A disk drive, or a pair of disk drives that forms a mirrored disk, in the Guardian
environment. The name of a volume is the second of the four parts of a file name.
$RECEIVE. A special Guardian file name through which a process receives and optionally
replies to messages from other processes by using Guardian procedure calls. This file is
analogous to a request queue defined for a NonStop TUXEDO server.
