Procedure-Call Sequence
These steps explain the sequence of procedure calls given in Table 4-5 on page 4-11.
1. To create and select a file in the file system with which an association has been
established, call FTM_CREATE_REQ_, giving details about the file you wish to
create (for information on the parameters of this procedure, see the following
subsection).
a. If the procedure succeeds, it returns a status code of ZAPS-VAL-STATUS-OK.
If the procedure fails, it returns a different status code. To obtain the details of
an error at this stage, call APS_STATUS_, specifying as input the CEPI
returned by the FTM_INITIALIZE_REQ_ procedure for this association.
b. If the association is in nowait mode, call MFM_AWAITIOX_ to wait for
completion of the FTM_CREATE_REQ_ call. MFM_AWAITIOX_ gives you the
status code for the completed procedure call. For more information on the
MFM_AWAITIOX_ procedure, refer to the OSI/FTAM Programming Reference
Manual.
c. If you call MFM_AWAITIOX_ and the status code returned is not ZAPS-VAL-
STATUS-OK, call APS_STATUS_, specifying the CEPI returned by the
FTM_INITIALIZE_REQ_ procedure for this association.
2. Next, to receive a create confirm event, call APS_EVENT_RECEIVE_. In wait
mode, this procedure returns a status code of ZAPS-VAL-STATUS-EVENT when
you have received an event. If APS_EVENT_RECEIVE_ returns a different status
code, to obtain the details of an error at this stage, call APS_STATUS_, specifying
as input the CEPI returned by the FTM_INITIALIZE_REQ_ procedure for this
association.
a. If the association is in nowait mode, call MFM_AWAITIOX_ to wait for
completion of the APS_EVENT_RECEIVE_ call and to obtain the status code.
A status code of ZAPS-VAL-STATUS-EVENT means you have received an
event.
3. If you receive an event, call APS_STATUS_ to determine which event. If the event
code is ZFTM-VAL-EVT-CREATE-CNF, you have received a create confirm.
4. Next, call FTM_CREATE_CNF_ to retrieve the data sent by the confirm. Check the
state-result and action-result output parameters.
a. If nowait mode, await completion of
APS_EVENT_RECEIVE_.
MFM_AWAITIOX_
3 Check status: Is the event a create confirm? Or, if
APS_EVENT_RECEIVE_ returns a status other than
ZAPS-VAL-STATUS-EVENT, is there an error?
APS_STATUS_
4 Retrieve service confirm information. FTM_CREATE_CNF_
