Location of Process Code Files
Three attributes—FTAMIFILE, FTAMRFILE, and CODEFILE—specify the location of 
the code files for creating initiator and responder processes.
FTAMIFILE and FTAMRFILE are attributes of the SUBSYS object. They allow you to 
specify a default location—that is, volume name, subvolume name, and filename—for 
the code files for initiator and responder processes. If you do not specify the 
FTAMIFILE and FTAMRFILE attributes in an ALTER SUBSYS command, the 
attributes default to the files named FTAMIOBJ and FTAMROBJ in the APLMGR 
volume and subvolume (normally, $SYSTEM.SYSnn, where nn is a two-digit number 
that depends on your installation). If you specify the attribute but the name is not a fully 
qualified Guardian filename, the filename defaults to the current volume and/or 
subvolume defaults for the SCF session (as displayed by the ENVIRONMENT 
command). For example, suppose the current SCF volume and subvolume are 
$DATA.SYSOP and you issue the following command:
ALTER SUBSYS $AMGR, FTAMIFILE INITCODE, FTAMRFILE RESPCODE
The APLMGR process then uses the object code in $DATA.SYSOP.INITCODE for 
initiators and the code in $DATA.SYSOP.RESPCODE for responders, unless these 
names are overridden by the PROCESS object configurations as discussed below.
To create an initiator or responder process using code other than that specified in the 
SUBSYS object attributes, provide the desired code filename in the CODEFILE 
attribute when you add that initiator or responder PROCESS object by using an ADD 
PROCESS command. This attribute overrides the default code filename provided by the 
FTAMIFILE or FTAMRFILE attribute of the SUBSYS object. For example, if you have 
issued the ALTER SUBSYS command but you want to use the object code in 
$SYSTEM.SYS01.FTAMIOBJ for the initiator process named $FTI2, you could issue 
the following command to configure the process:
ADD PROCESS $AMGR.#FTAMI.FTI2, NAME $FTI2, COMNAME "FTMI2", &
 CODEFILE $SYSTEM.SYS01.FTAMIOBJ
