Inbound mapping of FTAM attributes

The following table shows how FTAM attributes are mapped to the real BS2000 file system.

Attribute group	FTAM attributes	Mapping in BS2000 (inbound receive)	Modify FTAM attributes
Kernel group	permitted actions READ-FILE INSERT-DATA-UNIT REPLACE-FILE EXTEND-FILE ERASE-DATA-UNIT READ-ATTRIBUTES CHANGE-ATTRIBUTES DELETE-FILE	FTAM catalog	permitted locally 1)
	universal class number GRAPHIC GENERAL IA5 VISIBLE	FTAM catalog	permitted locally 1)
	string significance UNCHANGED VARIABLE FIXED NOT-SIGNIFICANT	FTAM catalog	permitted locally 1)
	maximum string length	FTAM catalog	permitted locally 1)
	document type FTAM1 FTAM3	FTAM catalog	permitted locally 1)
Storage group	file availability IMMEDIATE DEFERRED	FTAM catalog	inbound permitted for DMS files, not permitted for POSIX files and lib members
	future file size	ignored	not permitted
	storage account	ignored	not permitted

Attribute group	FTAM attributes	Mapping in BS2000 (inbound receive)		Modify FTAM attributes
Security group	ActionList (of 1ACE)	with (BASIC)ACL	without (BASIC)ACL
	READ-FILE	(BASIC-) ACL=r	ACCESS=READ	inbnd. permitted 5)
	INSERT-DATA-UNIT	not permitted	not permitted	not permitted
	REPLACE-FILE	w	WRITE	inbnd. permitted 5)
	EXTEND-FILE	w	WRITE	inbnd. permitted 5)
	ERASE-DATA-UNIT	w	WRITE	inbnd. permitted 5)
	READ-ATTRIBUTES	3)	READ	not permitted 2)
	CHANGE-ATTRIBUTES	4)	READ	not permitted 2)
	DELETE-FILE	w	WRITE	inbnd. permitted 5)
	LEGAL-QUALIFICATION	ignored		not permitted
1)The local FTAM attribute can be modified locally using the command MODIFY-FILE-FT-ATTRIBUTES. 2)The value must always be sent but can never be modified. 3)If group or other have no rights due to (BASIC)-ACL, the request would be rejected if a user ID belonging exclusively to group or other was specified. 4)File attributes can only be modified by the owner. In other words, any user ID that is not the owner and which belongs to group or other cannot modify file attributes. 5)ACL attributes cannot be modified.

The following file attributes are derived from the current BS2000 file attributes:

• file name

• file size

• future filesize

• identity of creator (always identical to owner ID)

• date and time of last read access (corresponds to LADATE and LATIME)

• date and time of last attribute modification (corresponds to CRDATE/CRTIME)

• date and time of last modification (corresponds to CRDATE/CRTIME)

• access control

• string significance

Other attributes are only partially supported by openFT (BS2000). As the responder, openFT (BS2000) does not return any value for the following file attributes (no value available):

• identity of last modifier

• identity of last reader

• identity of last attribute modifier

• storage account

• legal qualification

In BS2000, the FTAM protocol parameter filestore password is mapped to the password of the of the login name concerned.
