Section 5 File Protocol Detail
State whether there are any circumstances under which modifications to the file contents
or the values of the file attributes by FTAM protocol exchanges will not subsequently be
available for use.
A.10.5 Override
State the implemented filestore capability.
Section 5 File Protocol Detail
A.11 File Protocol
Detail the level of support for the FTAM protocol, i.e., PDUs and PDU fields. Indicate
which PDUs are, and which are not, implemented. Also state which fields are, and
which are not, implemented for each supported PDU.
If a PDU field is implemented, then its range of values shall be specified, or, if
applicable, the reference completed. Fields not implemented shall be so marked.
Clauses 11.2 to 11.24 require an indication of which PDUs are implemented. The
conformance requirements for PDUs are dependent on the particular functional units
implemented. PDUs indicated in clauses A.11.8 to A.11.24 as conditional shall be
considered as mandatory when a particular functional unit is implemented, according to
the following table.
State details here or in an appendix.
Changes caused by local file store actions may modify the contents and attributes of a file
such that the file is not accessible in the same way as before.
Responder Override D R
Create failure o Yes
Select old file o Yes
Delete and recreate with old attributes o Yes
Delete and create with new attributes o Yes
Note. The specification of the role of initiator is to be given in Section 5, “File Protocol Detail.”
Note.
1. In order to keep the protocol tables compact, some forward references have been
introduced to clauses which expand upon the detail of field support.
2. The FTAM protocol will require a number of optional lower layer services to be available
(e.g. Application Entity Titles in ACSE). This requirement is outside the scope of this PICS
proforma.
