FTM_INITIALIZE_REQ_
initiator-id input
INT .EXT:ref:(ZAPS-DDL-CHAR32)
identifies the calling application to the responding application entity.
initiator-id is an optional parameter. If you omit initiator-id, no initiator
identity will be specified.
Some responders require an initiator ID. For information on responder
requirements for the initiator ID, refer to the responder documentation.
account input
INT .EXT:ref:(ZAPS-DDL-CHAR32)
identifies the account to be charged for costs that are incurred during the regime
being established.
account is an optional parameter. If you omit account, no account name will be
supplied to the remote responder.
Some responders require an account name. For information on the accounting
methods being used, refer to the responder documentation.
filestore-password input
INT .EXT:ref:(ZAPS-DDL-CHAR32)
conveys a password used by the responder to authenticate the initiator-id. If
this parameter is not provided, no password will be transferred to the remote
responder.
filestore-password is an optional parameter.
Some responders require a filestore password. For information on responder
requirements for the filestore password, refer to the responder documentation.
tag input
INT(32):value
is for use in nowait mode only. Specify a unique value to identify this instance of
the procedure call. When the operation is complete, the MFM_AWAITIOX_
procedure returns the tag value, allowing your application to match the completion
with the correct instance of the procedure call. For details on the use of the tag
parameter, see the OSI/FTAM Programming Guide.
tag is an optional parameter.
Considerations
•
When your application is running, but before it establishes its first FTAM
association via the FTM_INITIALIZE_REQ_ procedure, it must call the
APS_INITIALIZE_ procedure once. The APS_INITIALIZE_ procedure allocates an
