Responder Manager
This section discusses considerations that are related to the configuration and
management of the responder process and its VFS on the Compaq system, but that you
might need to know when writing or using FTAM applications on the remote system. It
covers the following topics:
•
Notes on configuration
•
Fault tolerance
•
Event messages
Full details on FTAM configuration, management, and troubleshooting on the Compaq
system are provided in the OSI/FTAM Configuration and Management Manual.
Notes on Configuration
Compaq FTAM (responder and APLMGR processes), the OSI/AS subsystem, the
OSI/TS subsystem, and TLAM (or PAM for G06 and above releases) or X25AM or
TCP/IP must be configured and running on the Compaq system before your application
can communicate with the Compaq responder.
Because of the flexibility, and resultant complexity, of the configuration of underlying
Compaq OSI layers, configuration errors are a common cause of problems in Compaq
FTAM applications. The Compaq problem solver should pay special attention to
checking the configuration of Compaq FTAM and the configuration of the underlying
OSI layers (via Compaq OSI/AS).
The following aspects of configuration are important to writers and users of remote
FTAM applications:
•
OSI address of responder
•
Initiator-identity and filestore-password parameters
•
Protocol error counter
•
Ways to increase responder capacity
•
Ways to increase responder performance
OSI Address of Responder
The assigned OSI address of each responder process is configured on the Compaq
system. Remote applications must refer to this address when requesting the services of
the responder. Several responders can be assigned to the same address.
