Figure i on page -xv shows how the manual you are now reading is related to other 
NonStop manuals. The flowchart, read from the top down, indicates the order in which 
you might read the manuals. Before reading this manual, you should read or be 
familiar with the following HP manuals:
•
OSI/FTAM Programming Guide explains important programming concepts 
pertaining to the NonStop OSI/FTAM implementation and describes sequences of 
procedure calls to use to perform common FTAM programming operations. This 
manual also provides an overview of FTAM concepts for those who have not 
recently read the ISO 8571 specification.
•
Guardian Programmer’s Guide describes how to use the NonStop procedure calls, 
including the file-system procedures.
•
TAL Reference Manual describes how to use the Transaction Application 
Language (TAL), and the C/C++ Programmer’s Guide describes HP C for NonStop 
systems. You only need to be familiar with the information for the programming 
language you are using.
The following manuals provide additional information to which you might need to refer 
while using this manual:
•
Guardian Procedure Calls Reference Manual gives the syntax and programming 
considerations for all the NonStop operating system procedures.
•
Guardian Procedure Errors and Messages Manual describes the file-system 
messages that might be returned as error subcodes in NonStop FTAM error 
conditions.
The following manuals provide additional information that might be of interest:
•
OSI/FTAM and OSI/APLMGR SCF Reference Manual describes how to use SCF 
commands to configure, monitor, and control FTAM.
•
OSI/FTAM Configuration and Management Manual provides task-oriented 
information necessary for the installation and management of NonStop FTAM 
services including an explanation of the configuration and control of the initiator 
and responder processes and the associated APLMGR process. This manual 
includes information on monitoring and adjusting your subsystem to optimize 
performance and on diagnosing and fixing problems.
•
OSI/AS Programming Manual describes the APS (application, presentation, and 
session) procedures, which enable application programs to establish and use OSI 
connections that use the Session Layer, the Presentation Layer, and the 
Association Control Service Element (ACSE) of the Application Layer. These 
procedures are part of the HP OSI/AS data communications subsystem.
