1.10 Understanding the COM for OpenVMS Environment

COM for OpenVMS relies on a number of interrelated servers
(processes) and operating system images. In most cases, the
servers start automatically when you restart the system.
(Automatic startup requires that you have installed and
configured each component and have made appropriate changes
to the SYLOGICALS.COM file.) For more information about
starting and configuring the servers, see Section 1.3.

Figure 1-1 shows the relationships and dependencies of the
processes and operating system layers.

Table 1-1 lists the process names and maps each name to its
corresponding server.
