Running H/F 2
The initiator does not support the current concurrency control or current locking style or
the file attributes identity-of-last modifier and identity-of-last-reader activity attributes.
Also, because NonStop FTAM does not support the private attribute group, the private-
use attribute of that group is not supported and is not reflected in the above table.
Document Types
The initiator supports the following FTAM document types:
•
FTAM-1
•
FTAM-2
•
FTAM-3
•
NBS-9
Accessing Local Information
To access local files, your application programs communicate directly with the
Guardian file system. To transfer files to or from the local system, application programs
must manage local file access using Guardian file-system calls such as OPEN, READ,
WRITE, and CLOSE. Security is controlled by the NonStop operating system. The first
programming example in Appendix G, NonStop FTAM Programming Examples
illustrates how to use Guardian procedures in a NonStop FTAM application.
The NonStop FTAM procedures provide for the transfer of files in three different
directions. Typically, you transfer files from a local file system to a remote file system,
or from remote to local, as illustrated in the programming examples in the OSI/FTAM
Programming Guide. In addition, remote-to-remote file transfers are also possible, as
illustrated in the second programming example in Appendix G, NonStop FTAM
Programming Examples.
