CLIENT

TSISMMC0:

This process is the initiator. It starts all other processes, socket connections for all GUI

connections. All messages from the client process and GUI are sent here and then

sent along to TSISMMC5.

TSISMMC1:

This process connects to the system via TCP/IP. All messages are sent from this

point.

TSISMMC2:

This process sends messages to TSISMMC1 from TSISMMC0. It acts as a buffer. If a

message was not received from TSISMMC1, it will queue and resend it later.

TSISMMC3:

This process filters the $0 collector for any $ZSVR for mount, dismount, reject or

canceled messages.

TSISMMC4:

This process will receive a labeling message and issue the mount command to be sent

across. Once the mount is received back, it will send the labeling command to the

TSISMMCL process.

TSISMMC5:

This process received all backup requests from the GUI through TSISMMS0. Will save

all backup requests that have been scheduled.

TSISMMC6:

This process executes the backup requests.

TSISMMCL:

This process does all tape labeling. Request is received from TSISMMC4.

TSISMMCE:

This process receives $ZSVR messages from TSISMMC3 and sends to the GUI for

display.
