Manuals for Tandem FTAM (Tandem File Transfer,
Access and Management)
Tandem FTAM provides file transfer, access, and management functions across a
heterogeneous network, in conformance with the ISO File Transfer, Access and
Management (FTAM) standard. Tandem FTAM, which consists of the APLMGR
subsystem and the FTAM subsystem, supports the transfer of files between NonStop
systems and other kinds of computers. It also lets users on the NonStop system manage
and operate on remote files, and lets users on other kinds of systems manage and operate
on files on the NonStop system.
There are six manuals in the FTAM manual set, as follows:
•
Tandem OSI/FTAM Programming Guide. This manual explains important
programming concepts pertaining to the Tandem FTAM application programmatic
interface and describes sequences of procedure calls to use to perform common
FTAM programming operations. This manual also provides an overview of FTAM
concepts for those who have not recently read the ISO 8571 specification.
•
Tandem OSI/FTAM Programming Reference Manual. This is the companion manual
to the Tandem OSI/FTAM Programming Guide and provides reference information
on the programmatic interface provided by Tandem FTAM for application programs
that run on a Tandem host using the FTAM initiator. It discusses product
conformance to standards and interoperability, provides information on the FTAM
initiator, and reference material for all procedure calls in the FTAM API (application
programmatic interface), including descriptions of diagnostic and error messages.
•
Tandem OSI/FTAM Responder Manual. This manual describes the programmatic
interface provided by Tandem FTAM for application programs that run on remote
systems and use the services of the Tandem FTAM responder. This manual
discusses the Tandem FTAM responder’s conformance to standards and
interoperability, describes the operation of the responder, and provides reference
information on diagnostic messages.
•
Tandem OSI/FTAM Configuration and Management Manual. This manual describes
how to install, configure, and manage Tandem FTAM. This manual also includes
information on monitoring and adjusting Tandem FTAM to optimize performance,
and on diagnosing and fixing problems.
•
SCF Reference Manual for Tandem FTAM and APLMGR. This manual describes
the SCF commands and attributes used to configure, control, modify, and inquire
about Tandem FTAM. It contains descriptions of SCF attributes and screen displays
and descriptions of Tandem FTAM-specific PTrace commands and screen displays.
•
Operator Messages Manual describes system messages and provides an explanation
of the cause, a discussion of the effect on the system, and suggestions for corrective
action.
