FTAM EWSD Interface Service

The interface is a stand-alone program for Linux that communicates with the system through the specified TCP port.

The interface consists of the following binaries:

start_ftaminterface - Starts the interface.
status_ftaminterface - Reports status of the interface.
stop_ftaminterface - Terminates the interface.
ftamagent - Internal communication agent.

It is important to start the interface by using a full path name. If the binaries are placed in /opt/mz/ftam/bin the same path must be used when the interface is started. The following command can be used to start the interface:

$ /opt/mz/ftam/bin/start_ftaminterface ROOT_DIR=/var/ftamroot PORT=16702
The port name mzftam not found in /etc/services, the default value 16702 
 will be used.
Binary directory:    /opt/ftam_isode_if
FTAM root directory: /var/ftam_root
FTAM interface port: 16702
INFO: The interface has been started.

Info!

The binaries can be found in the product installation package that you used to install the system. They are located in: <release content directory>/release/complete/other/FTAM_LINUX_ISODE.tar. The release content directory will be where you have extracted your installation files from the tgz.

Note!

If you are using a 64-bit OS, you will be required to install the 32-bit versions of the OS system libraries. This is because the ftam binaries requires the 32-bit versions of the OS system libraries to be present.

The root directory contains internal state information for recovery and log files.
