Configuring HP FTAM/9000
FTAM Parameters: ftam_confFTAM Parameters: ftam_conf
The parameters in this file generally do not need to be set or changed for normal FTAM operations. They are required when interoperating with machines which require these optional parameters to be specified in a way that is different from the default behavior of HP’s FTAM.
The environment variable AEQ_SENDING is supported to determine if the AE qualifiers (AEQ) will or will not be encoded and sent in the AARQ and AARE PDUs. This environment variable can have three values: “no”, “yes”, and “file”. If it is set to “no,” then the FTAM applications will not encode and send the AEQ in the calling, called, or responding AE titles. These AE titles are specified in the local_app and remote_app files. If it is set to “yes,” the AEQ will always be encoded and sent. If it is set to “file,” the values defined in the ftam_conf file are used. If it is set to a value other than “no,” “yes,” or “file,” a default, the values defined in the ftam_conf file, is used.
The following group of parameters are used by the FTAM applications running on the local node. These parameters are located in the ftam_conf file. These are optional parameters. If these are not set or if the ftam_conf file does not exist, FTAM applications still run using default values.
