NonStop TS/MP Pathsend and Server Programming Manual–132500
iii
New and Changed Information
This is the third edition of the NonStop TS/MP Pathsend and Server Programming
Manual.
Writers of Pathsend requesters and all Pathway servers should read this manual. Writers
of SCREEN COBOL requesters should read the Pathway/TS TCP and Terminal
Programming Guide.
This third edition includes changes to reflect product changes, and also additional
enhancements. Substantive changes (changes that are not simply editorial) are marked
by change bars in the right-hand margin of the page.
Product Changes
This manual documents the following changes to NonStop TS/MP and related products:
•
New Pathsend procedure calls have been added to support context-sensitive
communication (dialogs) between requesters and servers.
Section 3, Writing Pathsend Requesters
, now describes how to use these procedure
calls in a Pathsend requester. Section 5, Pathsend Procedure Call Reference,
provides detailed syntax for the procedure calls. Section 6, Pathsend Errors
,
describes new error messages related to the calls.
•
A new TUXEDO to Pathway translation server is now available as part of Release 2
of the NonStop TUXEDO system. This translation server allows TUXEDO
requesters (that is, TUXEDO clients and TUXEDO servers acting as clients) to
access Pathway servers.
Other Transaction Processing Environments
on page 1-13 and Writing Pathway
Servers That Interoperate With TUXEDO Requesters on page 4-17 now mention the
availability of the TUXEDO to Pathway translation server. Details on the use of this
translation server are provided in the NonStop TUXEDO System Pathway
Translation Servers Manual.
•
Changes are being made to the Remote Server Call (RSC) product, and some of the
protocols formerly listed in Section 2 of this manual may no longer be supported.
Therefore, all mention of support for specific platforms and protocols under Clients
Using RSC and POET on page 2-15 has been removed and replaced by a more
general statement. For detailed information about the platforms and protocols
supported by the RSC product, refer to the Remote Server Call (RSC) Programming
Manual.
