Course overview
This course provides an introduction to HP NonStop
servers and to the system software that makes them
reliable, scalable, open, and fast. It describes goals
that have governed and are continuing to govern the
evolution of these systems, and it reviews NonStop
server application, database, and operations
environments. This 2-day course is 70 percent
lecture and 30 percent hands-on labs using HP
servers.
Prerequisites
Knowledge of basic computer and IT concepts
Audience

Data communications programmers
Technical support personnel
Ways to save
Save with the HP Care Pack education service offerings.
At the conclusion of this course you should be able to:
Understand design goals for NonStop servers
Describe the hardware and software architecture
of the HP Integrity NonStop and HP Integrity
NonStop BladeSystem servers
Identify application areas in which NonStop
servers are commonly used
Describe concepts and facilities for application
development, operations, and system management
Explain how the NonStop Transaction
Management Facility (TMF) protects data integrity
Summarize basic NonStop server system
management issues relating to availability, data
integrity, performance, scalability, and open
interfaces
Benefits to you
Learn how NonStop server hardware and software
components work together to deliver the highest
levels of availability, data integrity, scalability, and
flexibility
Gain experience with the Open System Services
(POSIX-based) and Guardian interfaces presented
by the NonStop operating system to programmers
and users
Review core services that provide a foundation for
application development: the NonStop operating
system, NonStop Transaction Services/Massively
Parallel (NonStop TS/MP), NonStop Transaction
Management Facility (NonStop TMF), NonStop
SQL/MP, NonStop SQL/MX, and Enscribe
Review proprietary and industry standard
transaction monitors and application environments
available on NonStop servers: Pathway/iTS,
NonStop Tuxedo, NonStop CORBA, BEA
WebLogic Server, iTP WebServer, and NonStop
ODBC
Access manuals and support information in the
NonStop Technical Library and elsewhere
Next Steps
