Online Process Tracer and Analyzer ( OPTA )

OPTA is an Intercept engine for all HP NonStop applications. With no application changes, OPTA is able to seamlessly intercept procedure calls made to the NonStop Kernel operating system. OPTA includes an API that enables developers to write custom code( User exits ), easily extending the capabilities of NonStop applications. The OPTA products include OPTA-Trace, OPTA-RecycleBin, OPTA-LowPin-Optimizer and OPTA-Alert

OPTA-Trace

Enhances application Process Trace and Debug capabilities.

Display Application Calls to the NonStop Kernel operating system procedures.
Trace C program dynamic memory management functions(malloc, free, calloc, etc).

OPTA-RecycleBin

Deleted files are moved to a Recycle Bin.

Files in the Recycle Bin remain there until you decide to permanently delete them.

Reduces Application Low Pin Process creation failures.

Efficient use of System Low Pin resources by automatically balancing Low Pin Process Creations across all CPUs.
Monitor LowPin process creation activity.

Intercept Application Abnormal Termination and;

Generate an EMS message, Saveabend file and Stack trace.
Invokes a trigger for follow-on processing and Custom User exit.
