Introduction to the command interface

This chapter contains a functional overview of the SDF based openFT commands for users and administrators.

The functional command description provides a quick overview of which commands are available for which tasks.

This is followed by an explanation of how to enter the commands and of the notational conventions used in chapter “openFT commands”.

At the BS2000 POSIX interface, the openFT commands provided on Unix and Windows systems are available. Please refer to the manual "openFT (Unix and Windows systems) - Command Interface" for details.

Notes for the FT administrator

The FT administration commands can be issued from the console. Administration from the terminal requires the FT-ADMINISTRATION privilege, which is assigned by default to the TSOS ID. If SECOS is in use, this privilege can also be assigned to other user IDs. See the SECOS manual for details.
The FT administrator commands that may be entered via the console, can also be set by all the IDs with the OPERATING privilege. If necessary, this privilege can be taken away from these IDs.
These are the commands: ADD-FT-PARTNER, CREATE-FT-INSTANCE, CREATE-FT-KEY-SET, DELETE-FT-INSTANCE, DELETE-FT-KEY-SET, MODIFY-FT-INSTANCE, MODIFY-FT-OPTIONS, MODIFY-FT-PARTNER, REMOVE-FT-PARTNER, SHOW-FT-OPTIONS, SHOW-FT-PARTNER, START-FT, STOP-FT, UPDATE-FT-PUBLIC-KEYS.
