This course provides the information needed to convert
applications to run on the HPE Integrity NonStop X Servers.
The course starts with an overview of the hardwarearchitecture
and then covers program migration information for each ofthe
main languages. Other topics include the debuggers available
on the new systems, including a new Native Inspect debugger,
a new PC hosted TNS debugger, the new linker, and changes
to NSDEE. The course is 60 percent lecture and 40 percent
hands-on labs using HPE Integrity NonStop X servers.
