DDL
enclosed in lists. See Subsystem Programmatic Interface (SPI). Compare header
token.
DDL. See Data Definition Language (DDL).
Debug. An HP debugger. Allows you to use code and data breakpoints and to view
variables by data space locations and offsets. Replaced by Inspect. For more
information, see Inspect.
Distributed Systems Management (DSM). A set of tools used to manage HP NonStop™
systems and Expand networks.
Distributed Systems Management Application (DSMA). A term used to describe a
management application. See management application. This application is supported
only on systems running G-series RVUs.
Distributed Systems Management Solutions (DSMS). An HP application package with
two interfaces, NetStatus and NetCommand, and an underlying management service
layer, Distributed Systems Network Management (DSNM), that you use to monitor and
control systems and networks from a single terminal. DSMS is particularly useful for
managing subsystems and their objects. This application is supported only on systems
running G-series RVUs.
distributor. An EMS process that distributes event messages from event logs to requesting
management applications, to a collector on another node, or to printers, devices, or
files. See Event Management Service (EMS). See also consumer distributor,
forwarding distributor, and printing distributor.
DSM. See Distributed Systems Management (DSM).
DSM/SCM. A graphical user interface (GUI)-based program that installs new software and
creates a new HP NonStop™ operating system. DSM/SCM creates a new software
revision and activates the new software on the target system.
eInspect. An high level debugger for native objects in H-series.
EMS. See Event Management Service (EMS).
EMS standard definitions. The set of declarations provided by the Event Management
Service (EMS) for use in event management regardless of the subsystem. Any
application that retrieves tokens from event messages needs the EMS standard
definitions. Names of EMS standard definitions start with ZEMS.
enumerated type. A 16-bit signed data type that has one of a specified list of values with
designated meanings. The enumerated type is one of the standard token data types
defined by SPI; but the list of acceptable values and what they mean varies depending
on the token number and is defined by the subsystem.
