PRODUCT NAME: HP ACMS for OpenVMS, Version 5.0A SPD

82.40.02

DESCRIPTION

This document addresses HP ACMS Version 5.0A for

OpenVMS Alpha Systems and HP ACMS Version 5.0A

for OpenVMS Industry Standard 64 (I64) for Integrity

servers.

HP Application Control and Management System for

OpenVMS (ACMS) is a transaction processing (TP)

monitor designed for the HP OpenVMS operating sys-

tems. ACMS works with other HP commercial appli-

cation software products to provide users with a com-

plete and customizable development and run-time en-

vironment for transaction processing applications such

as order tracking, accounting and billing, banking, shop

ﬂoor control, and insurance claims processing.

ACMS software helps users through the entire appli-

cation development life cycle, including the installation,

planning, design, development, testing, implementation,

management, and maintenance of complex TP appli-

cations. ACMS provides a special-purpose application

deﬁnition language for the structured deﬁnition of TP

application functions and run-time characteristics.

ACMS makes efﬁcient use of the OpenVMS operating

systems and associated hardware resources, making

ACMS particularly suited to mission-critical applications

that require high throughput and performance.

ACMS integrates with the following HP and third-party

layered products:

• HP TP Desktop Connector, formerly called ACMS

Desktop, for multivendor client access to ACMS ap-

plications

• HP TP Web Connector for Web browser-based ac-

cess to ACMS applications

• HP TPware .NET Plugin

• HP DECforms or HP TDMS for forms management

• All OpenVMS languages that conform to the

OpenVMS Calling Standard

• Oracle CDD for the creation, analysis, and adminis-

tration of metadata

• Oracle Rdb, Oracle CODASYL DBMS, and OpenVMS

RMS for data management

• Oracle Trace for performance event data collection

Because ACMS is designed to allow for modular im-

plementation as well as development, the client/server

model can be used to separate and distribute front-

end processing (data input/output operations such as

forms processing) from back-end processing (data cal-

culations and database storage). In addition, ACMS al-

lows users the use of nonstandard terminal or I/O de-

vices, such as bar-code readers and automatic teller

machines (ATMs).

Features

ACMS provides the following features:

• Application development environment

• Run-time system

• Application management and control

• Remote system management

• Client/server processing

• Presentation services

• Database management

• Resource utilization collection and reporting
