About This Manual
The WAN Manager SPI Programming Guide describes the Subsystem Programmatic
Interface (SPI) provided by the WAN manager. The WAN manager provides an SPI
interface for management applications to obtain information from and to send a
command to control the WAN subsystem.
Who Should Read This Guide
This guide is written for programmers who maintain or develop programs for the WAN
manager and management applications that communicate using SPI and for those
interested in the content of SPI messages.
SPI is used by many NonStop Kernel subsystems and by customer-developed
applications that manage these subsystems. You can use this guide as a reference
when programming; that is, to initialize the SPI buffer, add tokens, remove tokens, and
to check the tokens they must define. You should be familiar with:
•
SPI
•
WAN
This guide uses the Data Definition Language (DDL) to represent all definitions. For
more information on DDL, see the SPI Programming Manual.
How This Guide Is Organized
Section Description
Section 1, Introduction
Introduces the WAN manager and describes the
interaction between the management application (for
example, SCF, Compaq TSM, or OSM) and the WAN
manager through the SPI interface.
Section 2, Communicating With the
WAN Manager Process
Discusses how an SPI command is sent using SPI
procedures
Section 3, WAN Manager SPI
Commands
Describes the SPI commands supported by the WAN
manager.
Section 4, Commands and
Response Tokens
Describes the tokens for commands and responses
supported by the WAN manager.
Section 5, WAN Manager
Commands and Responses
Defines the syntax and semantics for all commands
and relevant tokens supported by the WAN manager.
