HP Tandem Advanced Command Language (TACL)

The TACL product is the command interface to the NonStop Kernel operating system. In addition to providing full command-interpreter facilities, you can program the TACL interface to help you manage your system in these ways:

•Automate subsystem startup and shutdown procedures. For example, you can use TACL statements to initialize Pathway, the TMF subsystem, the TRANSFER system, and other subsystems.

•Run utilities and issue commands with either a fixed set of commands or a flexible set that you can tailor at run time.

•Create a customized environment that simplifies commonly performed tasks for users.

TMFCOM

TMFCOM allows you to enter commands that initiate communication with TMF, request various TMF operations, and terminate communication with TMF.

Web ViewPoint

Use Web ViewPoint, a browser-based product, to access the Event Viewer, Object Manager, and Performance Monitor subsystems. Web ViewPoint monitors and displays EMS events; identifies and lists all supported subsystems; manages NonStop server subsystems and user applications in a secure, automated, and customizable way; monitors and graphs performance attributes and trends; investigates and displays most active system processes; and offers simple navigation and a point-and-click command interface.

ViewPoint

Use ViewPoint to display event messages about current or past events occurring anywhere in the network on a set of block-mode events screens. The messages can be errors, failures, warnings, and requests for operator actions. The events screens allow operators to monitor significant occurrences or problems in the network as they occur. Critical events or events requiring immediate action are highlighted.
