About This Manual
The OSI/FTAM Programming Reference Manual is the companion manual to the
OSI/FTAM Programming Guide. It provides reference information about writing
application programs that use NonStop OSI/File Transfer, Access and Management
(FTAM) application services. This manual has the following objectives:
•
Introduce NonStop FTAM
•
Describe conformance and interoperability issues for NonStop FTAM
•
Provide information on the NonStop FTAM application programmatic interface
(API) and FTAM initiator process
•
Describe the procedures contained in the FTAM API and used to develop FTAM
applications
Who Should Read This Manual?
This manual is designed for programmers developing applications that use the
NonStop FTAM initiator. Programmers communicating with the initiator using the FTAM
API must be familiar with the ISO FTAM specification and FTAM protocol.
This manual provides a detailed description of the NonStop FTAM API and initiator. For
a review of basic FTAM concepts and details about NonStop FTAM programming and
the FTAM procedures, see OSI/FTAM Programming Guide.

Section Title This section...
1 Introduction to NonStop
OSI/FTAM
Provides a general introduction to FTAM for
programmers who use the initiator to develop
FTAM programs. It includes general
information about FTAM procedures and
interfaces and provides an explanation of
FTAM architecture. In addition, this section
describes the hardware and software needed
to run FTAM on an HP NonStop system.
