Object States for the PROCESS Object
Table 2-2 lists the states and intermediate states for Tandem FTAM PROCESS objects
and describes how a process in each state responds to requests. Any requests pending
during a state transition are canceled.
Table 2-2. Process States and Intermediate States
Process State Description
ABORTING The process is in transition to the STOPPED state because an ABORT
command has been issued. The process is running but will not accept
new user requests.
STARTED The process is running and able to accept user requests.
STARTING The process is in transition to the STARTED state because a START or
an ACTIVATE command has been issued to a SUSPENDED or
STOPPED process. User requests are not accepted until the process is
started.
STOPPED The process definition exists in the management information base
(MIB), but the process is not running. (This state applies only to
initiator and responder processes; stopping an APLMGR process causes
the process to become nonexistent.)
STOPPING The process is in transition to the STOPPED state because a STOP
command has been issued. The process is running but will not accept
new user requests.
SUSPENDED The process is running but is not accepting user requests. If the
APLMGR process is in the SUSPENDED state, it will not communicate
with other processes, and the APLMGR MIB is closed.
SUSPENDING The process is in transition to the SUSPENDED state because a
SUSPEND command has been issued. The process is running but will
not accept new user requests.
UNDEFINED The process state cannot be determined because of an error.
