NS 3000/iX is a compatible subset of NS 3000/V,
the powerful networking software available on the MPE V/E based
members of the HP 3000 family.
Special Note on Terminal Echo
When communicating between an MPE/iX based node an MPE V based
node, if echo ever gets turned off, proceed as follows:
Issue a colon (:) to return to your
local node.
Restore the echo on your local system according
to the method for that node (the method is different depending on
whether your physical terminal is connected to an MPE V based node
or an MPE/iX based node). Remember: the node that your physical
terminal is connected to always determines how you restore your
terminal's echo.
Note that this procedure restores echo on the local
system. To ensure that echo is also restored on the remote system,
you may wish to run a program that issues an FCONTROL 12
on the remote system.
Missing Features |
 |
The following list specifies the features that were available
in NS 3000/V but are not available in NS 3000/iX:
Program-to-Program communication (PTOP)
is not available. For information on translating your PTOP applications
so that they can run on an MPE/iX based machine, please refer to
the "Conversion Checklist" section.
No-wait I/O Remote File Access is not available.
Changed Features |
|
The features that changed from NS 3000/V to NS 3000/iX
are as follows:
When using Network File Transfer (NFT)
or Remote File Access (RFA) in NS 3000/iX, only files with
MPE V characteristics are supported. For instance, the mapped access
file system feature of MPE/iX is not supported by NFT and RFA in
NS 3000/iX.
Remote Data Base Access in NS 3000/iX is
supported only for TurboIMAGE databases. Remember that an IMAGE
database on a DS/3000 node can be accessed by using an intermediate
NS 3000/V node. The SHOWCOM command
has been replaced by the LINKCONTROL STATUS command.
