FTAM in Online Transaction Processing Applications
The following guidelines will simplify the task of integrating your application with
Pathway. Remember that, within the context of Pathway, your FTAM application is
defined as a server:
•
Code each Pathway requester program so it always requests a complete,
high-level application function, such as moving a file from one place to another, or
updating a file.
•
Have the FTAM application establish and terminate a separate association for each
high-level request.
•
Even if your application is in nowait mode (described in Section 3, NonStop FTAM
Programming), do not respond to the requester program until your application
receives confirmation that the work has been done.
For more information about Pathway, consult the Introduction to Pathmaker manual
and the related manual set.
