Managing and Accessing HP FTAM/9000 Files
Gaining Access to FTAM Files
• FTAM uses the exposed parameters filename and contents_type and
does not use the corresponding values stored in input_dcb-
>attributes.
• If the file you are selecting has access control, the following conditions
exist.
• The requested_access parameter must be a subset of the values
stored in action_list field in struct Ft_access_control_element.
• FTAM will detect conflicts between the initiator_id and the
identity field of the access_control_element.
• The HP-UX implementation of FTAM does not use the
file_passwords parameter. Other implementations might.
