internal process name. The name by which APLMGR recognizes a Compaq initiator or
responder process. This name is assigned when the process is created and can be a
maximum of eight ASCII characters.
International Organization for Standardization. See ISO.
International Standard. See IS.
interoperability. The ability of an FTAM implementation to work with other FTAM
implementations to deliver FTAM services.
IS (International Standard). A final specification standard issued by ISO.
ISO (International Organization for Standardization). A worldwide federation of
national standards bodies established to promote the development of standards to
facilitate the international exchange of goods and services, and to develop mutual
cooperation in areas of intellectual, scientific, technological, and economic activity.
ISO FTAM. Generic FTAM as specified in the ISO 8571 standard.
ISO FTAM diagnostic messages. Diagnostic messages typically returned from the
remote responder, although in certain cases they may be returned locally. ISO
diagnostic messages are defined in the ISO 8571 standard for FTAM, and apply
generically to any FTAM application. Diagnostic messages can be retrieved by some
indication and confirm procedures. In addition, programs using the FTAM API can send
diagnostic messages to the remote responder using the FTM_CANCEL_REQ_ ,
FTM_DATA_END_REQ_ , and FTM_U_ABORT_REQ_ procedures. See also
diagnostic parameter.
ISO Reference Model for Open Systems Interconnection. See OSI Reference Model.
ISO646String. See VisibleString.
kernel functional unit. A functional unit that is required of all service classes used in
the establishment and release of the FTAM and file-selection regimes. This is not to be
confused with the Compaq NonStop Kernel, which is the operating system.
kernel group. File attributes that must be supported by all FTAM implementations.
You do not negotiate attributes in the kernel group. This is not to be confused with the
Compaq NonStop Kernel, which is the operating system.
layer. There are seven layers in the OSI Reference Model. See Application Layer,
Presentation Layer, Session Layer, Transport Layer, Network Layer, Data Link Layer,
and Physical Layer.
leaf. A node in a hierarchical file structure that has no child nodes: that is, no nodes
that terminate outbound arcs of the node in question.
limited-file-management functional unit. The functional unit that supports the creation
and deletion of files and the reading of file attributes.
local application. An FTAM application that runs on a Compaq NonStop system and
uses the FTAM API.
Management Information Base. See MIB.
