Other Transaction Processing Environments

The NonStop TS/MP product serves as the foundation for open transaction processing

on Tandem NonStop systems. In addition to the Pathway environment, NonStop TS/MP

supports the NonStop TUXEDO transaction processing system. This product allows you

to develop TUXEDO transaction processing applications to run on Tandem NonStop

systems, thus providing these applications with the fundamental advantages of Tandem

NonStop systems.

When using the NonStop TUXEDO system, you work in the NonStop TUXEDO

programming environment; you need not use the requester and server programming

interfaces described in this manual. Note, however, that you can develop applications

that use a combination of modules from the NonStop TUXEDO environment and the

Pathway environment.

You can write a Pathsend requester that also acts as a NonStop TUXEDO client, directly

invoking the services of a NonStop TUXEDO server, by using the NonStop TUXEDO

Application Transaction Monitor Interface (ATMI) functions. For more information

about this mechanism, refer to Section 3, Writing Pathsend Requesters

, in this manual

and to the NonStop TUXEDO System Application Development Guide.

Alternatively, you can write a Pathsend or SCREEN COBOL requester that indirectly

invokes the services of a NonStop TUXEDO server by using the Pathway to TUXEDO

translation server provided with the NonStop TUXEDO product. For more information

about this translation server, refer to the NonStop TUXEDO System Pathway Translation

Servers Manual.

You can write a NonStop TUXEDO native System /T client or OSS workstation client

that directly invokes the services of a Pathway server by including calls to the Pathsend

procedures described in this manual. For more information, refer to the NonStop

TUXEDO System Application Development Guide.

Alternatively, you can write a TUXEDO client (or server acting as a client) that

indirectly invokes the services of a Pathway server by using the TUXEDO to Pathway

translation server provided with the NonStop TUXEDO product. This translation server

allows access to Pathway servers from remote TUXEDO requesters (those that use

System /Domain) and non-native TUXEDO workstation clients, neither of which can

make Pathsend procedure calls. For more information about the TUXEDO to Pathway

translation server, refer to the NonStop TUXEDO System Pathway Translation Servers

Manual.
