Tape processing modes
Tape processing modes. One of the following three modes that you can use to run jobs in a
labeled-tape environment:
•
Standard label processing, or LP mode: an application generates a mount request at
the operator console for a specific labeled tape. You can either mount the requested
labeled tape or reject the request.
•
Bypass label processing, or BLP mode: an application generates a request at the
operator console for a specific tape drive. You can accept or reject the request. If
you accept the request, the tape mounted on the drive is used for the application.
The system does not check the tape, so you must ensure that the correct tape is
mounted.
•
Unlabeled or no label processing, or NL mode: for unlabeled tape processing only,
an application generates a drive-usage request at the operator console for an
unlabeled tape on a specific tape drive. (Labeled tapes are rejected.)
TCM. See Tandem Capacity Model (TCM).
TCP/IP. TCP/IP is the name applied to the combined protocol layers that are defined by RFC
793 and 791. See Tandem TCP/IP subsystem .
TERM. A task that uses a screen program to control input and output devices (such as
terminals or workstations) or input and output processes (such as front-end processes).
Each task runs as a thread in a terminal control process (TCP), which can handle many
such tasks concurrently.
Terminal control process (TCP). A multithreaded process supplied with Pathway/TS that
interprets and executes screen program instructions for each input-output (I/O) device or
process the TCP is configured to handle. The TCP coordinates communication between
screen programs and their I/O devices or processes and, with the help of the PATHMON
process, establishes links between screen programs and Pathway server processes.
TIM. See Total Information Manager .
TMF. See TNS/R .
TMFCOM. The NonStop™ TM/MP command interpreter.
TNS. See Tandem NonStop™ Series (TNS) .
