Glossary
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
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.
local application. An FTAM application that runs on a Compaq NonStop system and uses the FTAM API.
Management Information Base. See MIB.
