FTAM Manuals
The following list describes the manuals shown in Figure i on page xvii:
•
The Tandem OSI/FTAM Programming Guide explains important programming 
concepts pertaining to the Tandem FTAM application program interface (API) 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.
•
The Tandem OSI/FTAM Programming Reference Manual 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 provides reference material for all procedure calls in the FTAM API, 
including descriptions of diagnostic and error messages.
•
The OSI/FTAM Responder Manual provides information for programmers writing 
applications on remote systems using the services of the Tandem FTAM responder. 
This manual discusses the Tandem FTAM responders conformance to standards and 
interoperability, describes the operation of the responder, and provides reference 
information on diagnostic messages.
•
The OSI/FTAM Configuration and Management 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.
•
The OSI/FTAM and OSI/APLMGR SCF Reference Manual (this manual) describes 
the SCF commands and object types 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.
•
The 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. The manual contains a separate section for each Tandem OSI 
subsystem, including APLMGR, FTAM, OSI/AS, and OSI/TS. It also contains 
separate sections for the X25AM, TCP/IP, and TLAM subsystems (TLAM is 
replaced by the PAM subsystem for G-series systems).
