HP FTAM/9000 Overview
The HP-UX Implementation of FTAM
Protocol Implementation Conformance
Statement (PICS)
The HP-UX FTAM Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement
(PICS) defines the capabilities of HP-UX FTAM responders. You can use
PIC Statements to determine if two implementations can communicate.
Refer to the HP FTAM/9000 Reference Manual on how to obtain the
HP-UX FTAM PICS.
HP implements the profiles A1, M1, T1, and T2. (The following
references to document types, constraint sets, file access data units
(FADUs), initiators, responders, and Virtual Filestore are described in
the “Conceptual FTAM Overview” section.)
A1 Provides for the transferring and accessing of files with
Unstructured or Flat constraint sets. FTAM-1, FTAM-2, and
FTAM-3 document types are supported. A1 supports reading
from and writing to a file or a single FADU, locating within
files, and erasing files.
M1 Provides for an initiator's management of files within the
Virtual Filestore, to which access is provided by the responder.
Management includes creating and deleting a file, and reading
and changing file attributes.
T1 Provides for the transferring of entire files with an
Unstructured constraint set. Both FTAM-1 and FTAM-3
document types are supported. T1 supports reading from or
writing to an entire file.
T2 Provides for the transferring of entire files with an
Unstructured or Sequential Flat constraint set. FTAM-1,
FTAM-2, and FTAM-3 document types are supported. T2
supports reading from or writing to a file or a single FADU.
