FTAM Object Types and Hierarchy

The FTAM subsystem supports two object types: PROCESS and SU (subdevice).

Figure 2-4 shows the hierarchical relationship of these two object types: in the Tandem

FTAM subsystem, the PROCESS object controls the SU objects. (Again, the null object

type is supported but is not shown in the diagram, because it is not a true object type and

has no place in the hierarchy.)

When you send commands directly to a Tandem FTAM process, use the PROCESS

object to address the process globally and the SU object to address a subdevice

associated with an FTAM initiator or a responder process.

Object Names

In general, you issue SCF commands by specifying the following:

command object-type object-name

For example, you could use SCF to display information about an FTAM initiator process

named $FTI1 by issuing the following command:

INFO PROCESS $FTI1

Naming conventions vary for each object type. Specific naming conventions for each

object are discussed in the following subsections:

•

null Objects on page 2-11

•

SUBSYS Object Names on page 2-13

•

PROCESS Object Names on page 2-20

•
