This course is for all personnel who need a complete and broad-based introduction to the
NonStop (Tandem) platform or will have hands-on access to Tandem system(s). This is an
intensive 4-day, hands-on introduction to Tandem fundamentals. The student will
be introduced to the concepts of fault tolerance, parallelism, and scalable architecture.
They will learn about all of Tandem's major utilities, including EDIT, TEDIT, FUP, PERUSE,
SPOOLCOM, and SCF. They will be introduced to Pathway and TMF. They will have six comprehensive
hands-on labs using these utilities and products. They will learn about the aspects of
the Tandem architecture that impact design and coding of applications, and the operations
of the Tandem platform. This course covers the K-, S-, and Integrity (Itanium) Series
platforms.
Course Duration: 4 days
All personnel who are new to the NonStop (Tandem) platform, and who will
be performing management, systems, operations, programming, database or other
functions on the platform. This is an important first step to get your people
the right foundation for success in their Tandem future.
- Concept of fault-tolerant, scalable systems
- The impact of parallelism
- The features of Pathway, SQL/MP and /MX, and TMF
- Impact of the architecutre on application and program design
- Impact on database design and implementation
- Operations and managment concerns and features
- Six comprehensive and thorough Lab exercises
NOTE: - We encourage hands-on practice
during lecture.
- Familiarity with basic computer terminology and concepts, such as meaning of CPU,
disc drive, controller, and so on. Experience on other computer platforms is
anticipated and useful, but not required. No prior exposure to Tandem is anticipated.
