Supported Functions
The NonStop FTAM API provides parameters and defined values to allow your
program to request the supported functions outlined in the following subsections. If you
request an unsupported function in your application, the initiator returns an error. The
functional scope of your FTAM application depends on which FTAM functions are
supported both by the NonStop FTAM initiator and the remote responder with which
the local initiator is interoperating.
The following subsections identify the FTAM service classes, functional units, attribute
groups, attributes, and document types that the initiator supports—that is, that it can
encode in an outgoing protocol data unit (PDU). For a listing and explanation of these
FTAM concepts as specified by ISO, refer to the OSI/FTAM Programming Guide, or to
ISO 8571, Parts 2 and 3.
