If you want an overview of A Series functions, or ifyou want to find out which product performs a particular function, you can use the table of contents. For example, suppose you are interested in database performance management. In the table of contents, you will find a section titled "Database Management." Within that section is a subsection on "Database Operations," which includes a smaller topic called "Database Performance Monitoring." Within each topic, the text introduces the product that provides the stated function (for example, the DMMONITOR utility). The text describes the function of the product in further detail, explaining four or five noteworthy capabilities of the product. The length of the presentation varies, depending on the complexity of the product being discussed. Mter reading the brief product descriptions given in this overview, you should be able to decide whether you want more details about any of the products. Each topic ends with a list of documents you can consult for further information about the product being discussed. If the online help text is available for the product, that is also mentioned. If you have heard the name of an A Series product, and you want information about that particular product, you should go to the index first. For example, if you are interested in InfoExec™, you will find that InfoExec appears in the index with references to the pages where various aspects of InfoExec are discussed. For information about A Series support services, migration policies, and documentation, refer to Part II of this overview, "Support." Throughout this overview, B 21, B 25, B 26, B 27, B 28, and B 38 systems are referred to as the BTOSTM workstations.

  • Application Layer
    APPLICATION LAYER The application layer in the OSI model is the closest layer to the end user which means that the application layer and end user can interact directly with the software application. The application layer programs are based on client and servers. The Application layer includes the following functions: • Identifying communication partners: The application layer identifies the availability of communication partners for an application with data to transmit. • Determining resource availability: The application layer determines whether sufficient network resources are available for the requested communication. • Synchronizing communication: All the communications occur between the applications requires cooperation which is managed by an application layer. Services of Application Layers o Network Virtual terminal: An application layer allows a user to log on to a remote host. To do so, the application creates a software emulation of a terminal at the remote host. The user's computer talks to the software terminal, which in turn, talks to the host. The remote host thinks that it is communicating with one of its own terminals, so it allows the user to log on. o File Transfer, Access, and Management (FTAM): An application allows a user to access files in a remote computer, to retrieve files from a computer and to manage files in a remote computer. FTAM defines a hierarchical virtual file in terms of file structure, file attributes and the kind of operations performed on the files and their attributes. o Addressing: To obtain communication between client and server, there is a need for addressing. When a client made a request to the server, the request contains the server address and its own address.

  • The Architecture of Open
    Preface By Professor Brian Warboys, University of Manchester It is now some 20 years since the foundations of the VME architecture were laid. The original objectives were to produce an architecture which would be flexible enough to allow for the many changes that were inevitable in the market, in the enabling technologies and in the end-user demands for IT systems. At the same time it was imperative that the architecture should be constraining enough to control the very long development process that long life implies. The result was essentially to define a simple but powerful approach which has basically remained unchanged during its long life. This is not a tribute to the remarkable foresight of the many people who contributed to that design but rather confirmation of the long known but often forgotten maxim that the best solution to mastering complexity is by the formulation of simple rules. The basic rules, which are enshrined in the architecture, have not had to be reformulated but merely extended in order to produce an architecture which meets the modern demands of Open Client-server systems. The essential architectural simplicity which guided the development of a complex Operating System throughout the 70's and 80's is as applicable in the 90's. Moreover this approach has been thoroughly tested over the last twenty years and there should be no doubt in anybody's mind about the capability of the OpenVME architecture to manage the complex design issues which confront modern Client-server systems. A splendid side effect of this text is that, for the first time, it enumerates, in a readily digestible form, the thinking behind the VME architecture.
