VAX FTSIE	Version 1.3				  SPD-Nr. C0.92.03
		Datei�bertragung VMS - SIEMENS/BS2000


Produktbeschreibung

VAX FTSIE (File Transfer with SIEMENS) dient zur Datei�bertragung (mit der 
M�glichkeit der anschlie�enden Folgeverarbeitung) zwischen SIEMENS/BS2000- und 
VMS-Systemen unter Verwendung der ISO/OSI-Protokolle bis zur Transportebene 
(Schicht 1 - 4) und von SIEMENS genormter File-Transfer-Protokolle. Die 
verwendeten SIEMENS-Protokolle f�r die Anwendungsschichten 5 bis 7 sind: 

-  FJAM-BS2000 (File Job Access Method) 
-  NDMS-BS2000 (Network Data Management System) 
-  DAS-BS2000  (Data Access Services) 

Die Implementierung der OSI-Transportebene wird als Teil von VAX FTSIE auf 
getrenntem Medium und mit eigener Dokumentation als VOTS V 2.0 (VAX OSI 
Transport Service) ausgeliefert. Hier wird das "Programming Interface" nicht 
unterst�tzt. 

Die Kopplung des lokalen und des entfernten Rechners kann �ber das Paketver-
mittlungsnetz DATEX-P erfolgen. Im Nahbereich ist die Kopplung daneben auch 
�ber Modem-Eliminatoren (X.25) oder Ethernet m�glich.

VAX FTSIE bietet die folgenden Funktionen: 

-  �bertragen einer Datei mit der M�glichkeit einer anschlie�enden 
   Folgeverarbeitung. Die Folgeverarbeitung kann im lokalen System und im 
   Zielsystem erfolgen; es k�nnen eigene Folgeverarbeitungen f�r den Fall 
   einer erfolgreichen und einer nicht erfolgreichen �bertragung angesto�en 
   werden.

-  Die Initiative zur Datei�bertragung kann sowohl vom lokalen wie auch vom 
   entfernten Rechner ausgehen. 

-  Steuern der Datei�bertragung: Abbrechen, Anhalten und Wiederanlauf.

-  Synchrone und asynchrone Auftragsbearbeitung. 
   Bei der synchronen Daten�bertragung wartet der Auftraggeber auf den 
   Abschlu� der �bertragung, beim asynchronen Betrieb erfolgt ein Eintrag in 
   ein "Auftragsbuch" und die �bertragung wird zeitlich unabh�ngig von der 
   Eingabe des Auftraggebers durchgef�hrt. 

-  Datei�bertragung �ber Kommandos auf der DCL-Ebene (sowohl f�r synchronen 
   als auch asynchronen Betrieb).

-  Automatische Konvertierung bei �bertragung von Textdateien von ASCII nach 
   EBCDIC und umgekehrt. Es kann zwischen unterschiedlichen Tabellen gew�hlt 
   werden (z.B. Multinational Characterset vs. EBCDIC national/international).

-  Simultane Abarbeitung mehrerer Datei�bertragungsauftr�ge.

-  Diagnosefunktionen zur �berpr�fung der h�heren Protokolle durch ein 
   Traceauswerteprogramm.

Funktionen der OSI-Transport-Implementierung (VOTS V 2.0):

VOTS ist eine Implementierung der OSI-Transporotschicht entsprechend den 
ISO-Standards 8072, 8073 und bietet Internet-Dienste und -Protokolle nach 
ISO-Standard 8473; es werden die Transportklassen 0,2 und 4 unterst�tzt. VOTS 
stellt die End-zu-End-Verbindung zwischen �ber OSI kommunizierende Systemen 
her und setzt die Dienste der Ebenen 1 bis 3 voraus. Es erlaubt den 
gleichzeitigen Zugriff auf Local-Area-Netzwerke (IEEE802.3) und 
X.25-Datennetze.

Folgende Management-Werkzeuge stehen zur Verf�gung:
-  Installation Verification Program (IVP)
-  Transport Implementation Control program (OSI$CONTROL)
-  Transport Implementation Tracing Utility
-  Transport Implementation Event Logging

Merkmale

VAX FTSIE �bertr�gt und empf�ngt ausschlie�lich sequentielle Dateien und 
unters�tzt dabei die Satzformate "VARIABLE" und "STREAM_LF". 

Bei sequentiellen Dateien kann zwischen dem Format TEXT (hier erfolgt eine 
Konvertierung von ASCII nach EBCDIC) und BIN�R gew�hlt werden.

Die L�nge der S�tze der zu �bertragenden Dateien kann bis zu 4000 Bytes 
betragen. 

VAX FTSIE kann nicht die VAXcluster-Funktionalit�t nutzen. Es kann innerhalb 
eines VAXclusters nur auf einer dedizierten Maschine verwendet werden.

VAX FTSIE bietet die folgenden Funktionen: 

-  �bertragen einer Datei mit der M�glichkeit einer anschlie�enden    
   Folgeverarbeitung. Die Folgeverarbeitung kann im lokalen System und im 
   Zielsystem erfolgen; es k�nnen eigene Folgeverarbeitungen f�r den Fall 
   einer erfolgreichen und einer nicht erfolgreichen �bertragung angesto�en 
   werden.

-  Die Initiative zur Datei�bertragung kann sowohl vom lokalen wie auch vom 
   entfernten Rechner ausgehen. 

-  Steuern der Datei�bertragung: Abbrechen, Anhalten und Wiederanlauf.

-  Synchrone und asynchrone Auftragsbearbeitung. 
   Bei der synchronen Daten�bertragung wartet der Auftraggeber auf den 
   Abschlu� der �bertragung, beim asynchronen Betrieb erfolgt ein Eintrag in 
   ein "Auftragsbuch" und die �bertragung wird zeitlich unabh�ngig von der 
   Eingabe des Auftraggebers durchgef�hrt. 

-  Datei�bertragung �ber Kommandos auf der DCL-Ebene (sowohl f�r synchronen 
   als auch asynchronen Betrieb).

-  Automatische Konvertierung bei �bertragung von Textdateien von ASCII nach 
   EBCDIC und umgekehrt. Es kann zwischen unterschiedlichen Tabellen gew�hlt 
   werden (z.B. Multinational Characterset vs. EBCDIC national/international).

-  Simultane Abarbeitung mehrerer Datei�bertragungsauftr�ge.

-  Diagnosefunktionen zur �berpr�fung der h�heren Protokolle durch ein 
   Traceauswerteprogramm.


Merkmale

VAX FTSIE �bertr�gt und empf�ngt ausschlie�lich sequentielle Dateien und 
unters�tzt dabei die Satzformate "VARIABLE" und "STREAM_LF". 

Bei sequentiellen Dateien kann zwischen dem Format TEXT (hier erfolgt eine 
Konvertierung von ASCII nach EBCDIC) und BIN�R gew�hlt werden.

Die L�nge der S�tze der zu �bertragenden Dateien kann bis zu 4000 Bytes 
betragen. 

VAX FTSIE kann nicht die VAXcluster-Funktionalit�t nutzen. Es kann innerhalb 
eines VAXclusters nur auf einer dedizierten Maschine verwendet werden.

PRODUCT NAME: VAX FTSIE	     Version 1.3          SPD: C0.92.03


DESCRIPTION

VAX FTSIE (File Transfer with SIEmens) provides a filetransfer between VAX/VMS 
Systems and SIEMENS/BS2000 systems with the ability of remote and local 
postprocessing. The implementation uses the ISO/OSI protocols up to layer 4 
(transport layer) and specific SIEMENS communication protocols for layer 5 
through 7: 

o  NDMS-BS2000 (Network Data Management System) 
o  DAS-BS2000  (Data Access Services) 
o  FJAM-BS2000 (File Job Access Method) 

The connection between local and remote system is established via X.25 using 
PSDN. For connecting local systems X.25 (PSDN as well as modem-eliminators) as 
well as ethernet can be used. 

The Transport implementation includes the Transport and Network layers. It is 
shipped as part of VAX FTSIE on separate media and with separate documentation 
labeled VOTS V 2.0. Note that the use of the VOTS programming interface is not 
a supported part of the VAX FTSIE product.

VAX FTSIE has the following features:

o transferring sequential files from or to a SIEMENS/BS2000 system in two 
  modes, synchronously or asynchronously. For asynchronous transfers a queue 
  ("Auftragsbuch") is set up.

o postprocessing capability, both on the remote and/or on the local system, 
  both in case of success or failure.

o controlling the file transfer: starting, terminating and continuing it 
  automatically after loss of the network connection.

o simultaneous execution of several file transfer requests. 
            
o commands are entered at DCL-level.

o automatic conversion from ASCII to EBCDIC and vice versa when transferring 
  text files. It can be chosen from various conversion tables (eg. 
  multinational characterset vs. EBCDIC national/international)

o protocol trace capability for diagnostic purposes.


Special attributes of VAX FTSIE

VAX FTSIE transfers and receives sequential files only and supports the record 
format "VARIABLE" and "STREAM-LF".

The sequential files can have the attribute TEXT (with conversion ASCII - 
EBCDIC) and BINARY (no conversion).

A record can be and up to 4000 byte long. 

VAX FTSIE cannot use VAXcluster functionality. Within a VAXcluster VAX FTSIE 
can only be started on one dedicated VAX/VMS system.

VAX FTSIE includes detailed DCL-structured help in English language.


Functionality of the OSI-transport layer implementation (VOTS V2.0):

VOTS implements the forth layer in the OSI seven-layer Reference Model. The 
transport protocol is specified by ISO 8073:1986. It provides reliable 
ent-to-end transfer of data between cooperation applications; it supports the 
transport classes 0,2 and 4. It depends on the service provided by the Network 
Layer. It can connect to to one or more ISO 8802-3 (IEEE 802.3) Local Area 
subnetworks. It can also be connected to one or more X.25 subnetworks using 
DIGITAL's packet switching product range. The implementation allows concurrent 
access to both types of subnetworks.

The following management tools are available:
-  Installation Verification Program (IVP)
-  Transport Implementation Control Program (OSI$CONTROL)
-  Transport Implementation Tracing Utility
-  Transport Implementation Event Logging

                                  Short English Hanbook
                                                       
                                                       
                                 VAX FTSIE  Version 1.3
                                                       
                                                       
     The commands of VAX FTSIE (File Transfer with SIEmens) provide the user and
     operator interfaces for accessing the functions implemented in the VAX/VMS
     Operating System to transfer files to or from SIEMENS/BS2000 systems.
                                                                          
     Files are transferred in accordance with the four lower OSI layers and with
     the special SIEMENS communication protocols FJAM (NEABF.S) and NDMS (NEABD.S).
                                                                                   
     The file transfer with SIEMENS is
                                      
     o  symmetrical. The transmission can be initiated in the local system as well
     as in the remote system.
                             
     o  reciprocal. Files can be both sent and received.
                                                        
     VAX FTSIE has the following features:
                                          
     o Transferring sequential files from or to a SIEMENS/BS2000 system in
       synchronous or aynchronous mode
     o Postprocessing capability, both on the remote and/or on the local system,
       both in case of success or failure
     o Controlling the file transfer: starting, terminating and restarting it
       automatically after loss of the network connection
     o Simultaneous execution of several asynchronous file transfer requests
     o Automatic encoding from ASCII to EBCDIC and vice versa when transferring
       text files
     o Protocol trace capability for diagnostic purposes
                                                        
     You can use VAX FTSIE in two alternative ways:
     o By entering the command FTSIE at DCL level, the system branches to a
       sub-command mode. The prompt FTSIE> is displayed and you can use all FTSIE
       commands. To leave this mode, enter EXIT or press CTRL/Z.
     o By entering a full FTSIE command from DCL level, this command will be
       transferred to FTSIE and executed. After execution the system returns to DCL.

     Parameters:
                
     symbolic-name: The symbolic name may not be longer than 8 characters and
     should not start with the character $. To obtain the station name of the
     remote BS2000 system contact the BS2000 system manager.
                                                            
     Command_Qualifiers:
                        
     /PARTNER_ADDRESS=partner-address
                                     
     The partner address is the physical address which must be known to the VAX OSI
     Transport Service. The respective symbolic name specified in the command FTSIE
     COPY is replaced by this physical address. To obtain the physical address (DTE
     number) of the remote BS2000 system contact the BS2000 system manager.
                                                                           
     /TSAP-ID=tsap-id
                     
     The tsap-id is equivalent to the application name of the remote BS2000 File
     Transfer system. To obtain the tsap-id or application name of the remote
     BS2000 system contact the BS2000 system manager.
                                                     
     /PROTOCOL_CLASS={2|4}
                          
     This qualifier defines the protocol class of the OSI Transport Layer
     protocols. Possible values for the protocol class are 2 and 4. You have to use
     class 2 when you communicate through the public PSDN (for example DATEX-P)
     with your remote partner system. If you are in a Local Area Network, you have
     to use class 4.
                    
     Examples
             
     $ FTSIE ADD PARTNER SIEMENS1
             -/PARTNER_ADDRESS=X25_DATEXP%12345678901
             -/TSAP-ID=$FJAM -/PROTOCOL_CLASS=2
     Adds the remote partner SIEMENS1 with the DATEX-P address 12345678901 and the
     tsap-id $FJAM to the address book. Class 2 of the transport protocol has to be
     used.

     CANCEL
           
     Cancels asynchronous requests which are being executed or which are waiting in
     the file transfer request queue. The operator privilege (OPER) enables the
     system manager to delete any request from the request queue. A user without
     the OPER privilege is only able to cancel requests which have been entered
     under his own user identification.
                                       
     Format: FTSIE CANCEL transfer-identifier
                                             
     Parameters
               
     transfer-identifier Number of the request to be deleted. The transfer
     identifier is displayed in two instances:
     o  In the confirmation of the transfer request when issuing the copy command
     o  In the column TID of the information table issued on entering the command
        SHOW QUEUE
                  
     Examples
             
     $ FTSIE CANCEL 3
     The request with the TID number 3 will be interrupted, if the transfer is
     active. It will be marked as 'waiting' ('W') in the queue.
     For proper termination of the request, it will only be deleted from the
     request queue after it has automatically been reactivated by the system. If
     the transfer request was waiting ('W') in the queue, the appropriate entry in
     the file transfer request queue will be deleted.

     Parameters
               
     source-file-spec
     For sending a file to a remote system, this parameter is the local file
     specification. If the device or directory is not specified, your current
     default device and directory will be used.
     For receiving a file from the remote system, this parameter must have the
     following format: symbolic-name"remote-login-information"::source-filename
                                                                               
     target-file-spec
     For sending a file to a remote system, this parameter must have the following
     format: symbolic-name"remote-login-information"::target-filename. For
     receiving a file from the remote system, this parameter is the local file
     specification. If the device or directory is not specified, your current
     default device and directory will be used.
                                               
     remote-login-information
     For executing a file transfer with the remote system, you have to specify
     valid login information for the remote system in the following format:
     "username account-number[ password]"
     This format is in accordance wtih the conventions of the target
     BS2000 system.
                   
     file-spec
     Specifies the file name. If the directory is not specified, your current
     default device and directory will be used. The use of wildcard characters is
     not permissible.
                     
     symbolic-name
     A symbolic address of the remote system. You must define this name in the
     address book (see VAX FTSIE command ADD PARTNER). The name may not be longer
     than 8 characters.
                       
     Command_Qualifiers:
                        
     /CODE_TABLE=table-name
     When transferring text files, the code conversion table specified under the
     value table-name will be used. This specification is only valid in synchronous
     transfer mode. If you do not specify a table name, the default value for
     asynchronous transfers will be used. The current default value for
     asynchronous transfers is defined by the system manager. The user can obtain
     the names of the code conversion tables that are available from the system
     manager. The system default is SRVS10.
                                           
     /COMPRESS
     You can specify this qualifier if you want consecutive characters to be
     transferred in compressed form.
                                    
                                    
     /FORMAT=type

     VAX FTSIE uses the qualifier /FORMAT=type to define the target file format.
     Possible values for 'type' are:
                                    
     o  TEXT (default)
        Identifies a text file (ASCII-characters) with variable-length records
        according to the conventions of the respective target system. The maximum
        record size is 4000 bytes.
     o  BINARY
        Identifies a file containing structured binary data with variable-length
        records according to the RMS conventions of the local system. The maximum
        record size is 4000 bytes.
     o  UNDEFINED
        Identifies a file containing non-structured sequences of sequences of
        binary data. The file format under VMS is Stream_LF.
                                                            
     /LOG (default) /NOLOG
     Controls whether or not the VAX FTSIE command COPY will display detailed
     information about the processing of the command. The default value is /LOG.
     Using the qualifier /NOLOG suppresses the output of detailed
     information.
                 
     /MAIL_NOTIFICATION
     Specifies that you want to be notified of the result of the transfer by way of
     electronic mail. This qualifier is not valid for synchronous file transfers.
                                                                                 
     /OVERLAY (default)
     If a version number has been included in the file specification, the target
     file will be overwritten. If this version does not exist, a new file will be
     created. If no version number is specified, a new version will be created. If
     the file does not exist, a new file with version number 1 will be created.
                                                                               
     /APPEND
     If a version number has been included in the file specification, the target
     file will be extended. If the target file does not exist, a new file will be
     created. If no version number is specified, the highest version  of the file
     will be extended.
                      
     /NEW_FILE
     The version number has no effect. The target file will be created. No file of
     the same name may previously exist, since the COPY command would be rejected
     in this case.
                  
     /PASSWORD=password
     This qualifier has to be used if the file in the remote BS2000 system is
     protected by a password. The password has to be specified according to the
     conventions of the BS2000 system and must be enclosed in quotation marks.
                                                                              
     /RECORD_SIZE=n
     Determines the maximum record size. Using this qualifier you can transfer
     records that are longer than usual. Note that not all record sizes are
     supported in the partner system. Possible values for the record size n are
     from 128 to 4000 bytes. The default value is 1024 bytes. This qualifier cannot
     be used together with the qualifier /FORMAT=UNDEFINED.
                                                           
     /SUCCESS_ACTION=(LOCAL="local-command",REMOTE="remote-command")
     With these qualifiers you can specify a command that is to be executed after
     the file transfer has completed successfully. The specification

     -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                    
     LOCAL="local-command" is only valid during asynchronous file transfers. You
     can specify postprocessing commands for your local and/or for the remote
     system:
            
     o  local-command
        After a successful asynchronous file transfer, the specified command will
        be executed in the local system under your login account. You can use any
        valid DCL command enclosed in quotation marks.
     o  remote-command
        After successful completion of a file transfer, the specified command will
        be executed in the remote BS2000 system under the specified remote login.
        You can use any valid BS2000 JCL command that starts with a slash (/) and
        is enclosed in quotation marks.
                                       
     /FAILURE_ACTION=(LOCAL="local-command",REMOTE="remote-command")
     With these qualifiers you can specify a command that is to be executed after a
     file transfer has failed. The specification LOCAL="local-command" is only
     valid during asynchronous file transfers. You can specify commands for your
     local and/or for the remote system.
                                        
     o  local-command
        If the asynchronous file transfer fails, the specified command will be
        executed in the local system under your login account. You can use any
        valid DCL command enclosed in quotation marks.
     o  remote-command
        If the file transfer fails, the specified command will be executed in the
        remote BS2000 system under the specified remote login. You can use any
        valid BS2000 JCL command that starts with a slash (/) and is enclosed in
        quotation marks.
                        
     /TRANSFER_MODE=SYNCHRONOUS
     /TRANSFER_MODE=ASYNCHRONOUS (default)
     Specifies whether the file transfer is to be executed synchronously or
     asynchronously. Only one of these qualifiers can be specified at a time.
     If you use the qualifier /TRANSFER_MODE=ASYNCHRONOUS, your request is entered
     in the file transfer request queue and will be executed independently of your
     further system use, i. e. you can continue your work on DCL level.
     If the network connection breaks down during the file transfer, the transfer
     will be continued after establishing a new connection.
     If you specify the qualifier /TRANSFER_MODE=SYNCHRONOUS, the transfer is
     executed immediately. After completion of your request you can enter further
     DCL commands.
                  
     Examples
             
     1.  $ FTSIE COPY MYFILE.TXT SIEMENS1"NAME1 ACC1 PASSW1"::REMFILE.TXT -
             /TRANSFER_MODE=ASYNCHRONOUS -
             /FORMAT=TEXT/MAIL_NOTIFICATION
     The text file MYFILE.TXT is transferred asynchronously to the remote  system
     with the symbolic name SIEMENS1.The filename in the target  system will be
     REMFILE.TXT. In the remote system, the login will be  performed under the user
     name NAME1, account number ACC1, and password PASSW1. The user is notified of
     the success or failure of the COPY command by means of electronic mail.
                                                                            
     2.  $ FTSIE COPY SIEMENS2"NAME2 ACC2 PASSW2"::REMFILE.EXE -

     The binary file REMFILE.EXE is transferred asynchronously from the remote
     system with the symbolic name SIEMENS2. The filename in the local system will
     be MYFILE.EXE. The symbolic name SIEMENS2 has to be defined in the address
     book. In the remote system, the login will be performed under the user name
     NAME2, account number ACC2, and password PASSW2. After a successful transfer,
     the command  "run myfile" will be executed in the local system.
                                                                    
     3.  $ FTSIE COPY DEC_NODE"NAME3 DUMMY PASSW3"::MYFILE.TXT -
             SIEMENS3"NAME3 ACC3 PASSW3"::REMFILE.TXT
     The DECNET file MYFILE.TXT is transferred asynchronously to the system  with
     the symbolic name SIEMENS3. The filename in the target system will be
     REMFILE.TXT. If DEC_NODE is a system under VMS, a dummy value has to be
     entered for the account-number due to the syntax of the COPY command. At the
     target system, the login will be performed under the user name NAME3, account
     number ACC3, and password PASSW3.

     Command_Qualifiers:
                        
     /PARTNER_ADDRESS=partner-address
     The partner address is the physical address which must be made known to the
     VAX OSI Transport Service. The respective symbolic name specified in the FTSIE
     COPY command is replaced by this physical address. To obtain the physical
     address (DTE-Number) of the remote BS2000 system contact the BS2000 system
     manager.
             
     /TSAP-ID=tsap-id
     The tsap-id is equivalent to the application name of the remote BS2000 file
     transfer system. To obtain the tsap-id or application name of the remote
     BS2000 system you have to contact the BS2000 system manager.
                                                                 
     /PROTOCOL_CLASS={2|4}
     This qualifier defines the protocol class of the OSI Transport Layer
     protocols. Possible values for the protocol class are 2 and 4. You have to use
     class 2 when you communicate through the public PSDN (for example DATEX-P)
     with your remote partner system. If you are in a Local Area Network, you have
     to use class 4.
                    
     Examples

     QUEUE
     Displays the following information about asynchronous requests:
     o  Transfer identifier (TID)
        FTSIE identifies each request by means of an entry number.
     o  <-> transfer direction
        ->   designates an outgoing file
        <-   designates an incoming file
     o  S Status of the file transfer:
        A - active
        W - waiting
        L - locked
        C - cancelled
     o  BYTE Specifies the number of bytes transferred. This counter is updated
        after a predetermined period of time.
     o  I If this column is empty, the request has been initiated in the local
        system. Otherwise, the column will contain an asterisk (*).
     o  USERID
        User identification of the file transfer request in the local system.
     o  L_FILE
        Local file name.
     o  REMSYS
        Symbolic name of the remote system.
     o  REMAPP
        Application name of the remote file transfer system.

     Command_Qualifiers:
                        
     /OUTPUT=file-spec
     Writes the output of the SHOW PARAMETER command to the file specified under
     the value file-spec.
                         
     /USER=username
     This qualifier is only valid in combination with the command FTSIE SHOW QUEUE.
     Users without the operator privilege (OPER) may only view their own requests.
     Users with the OPER privilege can obtain a list of all requests of a specified
     user.
          
     Examples
             
     1.  $ FTSIE SHOW QUEUE
     Displays all information about the File Transfer Request Queue.
                                                                    
     2.  $ FTSIE SHOW QUEUE /USER=HUGO

     START
          
     Requires the operator privilege (OPER). The command allows you to start the
     synchronous or the asynchronous file transfer mode or both.
                                                                
     Format: FTSIE START [transfer-mode]
                                        
     [transfer-mode]
     Specifies the desired file transfer mode. Valid parameter
     values are:
                
             ASYNCHRONOUS (default)
             SYNCHRONOUS
             ASYNCHRONOUS,SYNCHRONOUS
                                     
     If no parameter has been specified, the default value ASYNCHRONOUS will be
     used. Specifying the value ASYNCHRONOUS creates the permanent process
     FTSIE$PP. To place requests in the file transfer request queue you can now
     enter the command COPY/TRANSFER_MODE=ASYNCHRONOUS.  Specifying the value
     SYNCHRONOUS enables you to transfer files synchronously with the command
     COPY/TRANSFER_MODE=SYNCHRONOUS. If you specify both values in one command, you
     have to separate them by a comma.
                                      
     Examples
             
     1.  $ FTSIE START ASYNCHRONOUS
     Starts the asynchronous file transfer mode and creates the  process FTSIE$PP.
                                                                                  
     2.  $ FTSIE START SYNCHRONOUS
     Starts the synchronous file transfer mode.
                                               
     3.  $ FTSIE START ASYNCHRONOUS,SYNCHRONOUS
     Starts the synchronous and asynchronous file transfer modes.
                                                                 
     4.  $ FTSIE START
     Starts only the asynchronous file transfer mode.

     TERMINATE
              
     Requires the operator privilege (OPER). Terminates the synchronous or the
     asynchronous file transfer mode or both.
                                             
     Format: FTSIE TERMINATE [transfer-mode]
                                            
     [transfer-mode]
     Specifies the selected file transfer mode. Valid parameter values are:
                                                                           
               ASYNCHRONOUS (default)
               SYNCHRONOUS
               ASYNCHRONOUS,SYNCHRONOUS
                                       
     If no parameter has been specified, the default value ASYNCHRONOUS will be
     used. Specifying the value ASYNCHRONOUS terminates the asynchronous file
     transfer mode (process FTSIE$PP). If you specify the value SYNCHRONOUS, you
     can no longer issue synchronous file transfer requests.
                                                            
     Examples
             
     1.  $ FTSIE TERMINATE ASYNCHRONOUS
     Terminates the asynchronous file transfer mode and thus the process FTSIE$PP.
                                                                                  
     2.  $ FTSIE TERMINATE SYNCHRONOUS
     Terminates the synchronous file transfer mode.
                                                   
     3.  $ FTSIE TERMINATE ASYNCHRONOUS,SYNCHRONOUS
     Terminates the synchronous and asynchronous file transfer modes.
                                                                     
     4.  $ FTSIE TERMINATE
     Terminates only the asynchronous file transfer mode.
