HP OpenVMS for Integrity Servers and HP OpenVMS Alpha Version 8.2
HP OpenVMS for Integrity Servers and HP OpenVMS Alpha Version 8.2 Operating Systems SPD 82.35.01
Note: Customers ordering the separate DECram PPL
need to order the DECram media kit (BA415AA) to be
eligible for software updates. The actualy DECram bina-
ries images are included as part the OpenVMS Version
8.2 Operating system.
For more information, refer to the HP DECram for Open-
VMS Software Product Description (SPD 34.26.xx).
HP DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS
HP DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS is a separately li-
censed layered product offered on the Alpha platform.
On the Integrity Server platform, the DECwindows prod-
uct is part of the Foundation Operating Environment
(FOE) and is licensed under this package.
This product provides support for both OSF/Motif, a
standards-based graphical user interface, and the X
user interface (XUI) in a single, run-time and devel-
opment environment. DECwindows Motif displays the
OSF/Motif user interface. Because both Motif and XUI
are based on X.org X Window System, applications writ-
ten on either toolkit will run regardless of which environ-
ment the user selects.
Refer to the HP DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS Soft-
ware Product Description (SPD 42.19.xx) for more in-
formation.
CONFORMANCE TO STANDARDS
OpenVMS is based on the following public, national, and
international standards.
Distributed Computing Environment (DCE) Support
The DCE for the OpenVMS product family provides a set
of the distributed computing features specified by The
Open Group’s DCE, as well as tools for application de-
velopers. With DCE, The Open Group has established
a standard set of services and interfaces that facilitate
the creation, use, and maintenance of client/server ap-
plications. DCE for OpenVMS serves as the basis for
an open computing environment where networks of mul-
tivendor systems appear as a single system to the user.
Because DCE makes the underlying networks and op-
erating systems transparent, application developers can
easily build portable, interoperable client/server applica-
tions. Users can locate and share information safely and
easily across the entire enterprise. DCE for OpenVMS
supplies system managers with a set of tools to consis-
tently manage the entire distributed computing environ-
ment, while assuring the integrity of the enterprise.
DCE for OpenVMS currently consists of the following
products:
• DCE Run-Time Services for OpenVMS
• DCE Application Developers’ Kit for OpenVMS
• DCE Cell Directory Service (CDS)
• DCE Security Server, one of which is required for
each DCE
The right to use the DCE Run-Time Services is included
with the OpenVMS operating system base license. All
other DCE products are available as separate layered
products. Refer to the HP Distributed Computing En-
vironment (DCE) for OpenVMS Software Product De-
scription (SPD 43.05.xx) for more detailed information.
Support for OSF/Motif and X Window System
Standards
DECwindows Motif provides support for OSF/Motif, a
standards-based graphical user interface. DECwindows
Motif also provides support for the X Consortium’s X
Window System, Version 11, Release 6 (X11R6) server
and the Version 11, Release 5 (X11R5) client.
Standards Supported by OpenVMS
The OpenVMS operating system is based on the fol-
lowing public, national, and international standards.
These standards are developed by the American Na-
tional Standards Institute (ANSI), U.S. Federal Govern-
ment (responsible for FIPS), Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and the International Or-
ganization for Standardization (ISO). The following in-
formation may be useful in determining responsiveness
to stated conformance requirements as enabled in par-
ticular commercial and/or government procurement so-
licitation documents.
