About This Manual
This manual provides subsystem-specific information about the management
programming interfaces to the HP NonStop Transaction Management Facility (TMF) on
HP NonStop servers. These interfaces are based on the Subsystem Programmatic
Interface (SPI) and the Event Management Service (EMS). They allow applications to
send commands to, and monitor events reported by, TMF.
This manual serves as both a reference manual and a programmer’s guide. It does the
following:

Explains the architecture of TMF and how a management application fits into that
architecture

Explains how to communicate with TMF through the TMFSERVE process

Provides management programming considerations for TMF

Gives a complete reference to the contents of all tokens, token and field values,
commands, responses, event messages, and error lists defined by TMF
