This form contains a series of questions that need to be answered. As you go about answering the questions, please keep the following things in mind:While it is not required that each question be answered at this time, all questions must have answers before the response is submitted to The Open Group for review and publication.Press the "Save" button at any time to save work in progress. Once the work has been saved, there is the option to continue editing if required.Many questions have instructions to assist in development of answers. They are marked with the indicator. Please look at the instructions carefully.Although HTML markup can be included in answers, this is not recommended apart from basic tags such as <p> and <br>, since incorrect markup could effect the format of other items in the document.Questions on this system should be addressed to the Conformance Statement manager at The Open Group.
Enter the name of the Organization that produced the implementation and the name of the author of the Conformance Statement.
A product may be registered in all members of a binary-compatible family of products on the basis of a single test report.
Answer the questions for each binary-compatible family. Alternately, provide the answers in the Appendix at the end of this document.
Question 1: Does the product support the FTAM responder role?
Response
Yes No
Rationale
An implementation of BSFT implementation must provide the initiator role, but the responder role is optional.
Reference
CAE Specification, Byte Stream File Transfer (BSFT), Chapter 6, BSFT Requirements.
Question 2: What mechanism is used by the initiator to generate presentation addresses from user-supplied information?
The implementation converts the hostname supplied by the BSFT user into a presentation address that identifies the responder to be accessed. BSFT does not define the mechanism used to perform the conversion.
hostname
CAE Specification, Byte Stream File Transfer (BSFT), Section 7.2, Addressing and Related Issues.
Question 3: If the responder role is supported, how does BSFT validate a filestore password?
If the default answer does not correctly reflect your validation technique, replace it.
BSFT does not define the mechanism used by a responder to validate this password.
CAE Specification, Byte Stream File Transfer (BSFT), Section 7.3, Passwords.
Question 4: How does an initiator determine the document type to be sent to a responder when the BSFT user does not specify this?
BSFT does not define the mechanism used to determine the type of a file being sent.
CAE Specification, Byte Stream File Transfer (BSFT), Section 7.5, File Types.
Question 5: What is the contents type FTAM parameter value specified for an FTAM-1 file sent to a responder when the BSFT user does not specify a value via the BSFT encode command?
contents type
encode
Select one of the items from the list.
IA5 GraphicString VisibleString GeneralString
BSFT does not define a default value for this parameter.
CAE Specification, Byte Stream File Transfer (BSFT), Appendix A, BSFT User Interface Definition.
Question 6: If the responder role is supported, how does the implementation determine the document type of the file in its local filestore?
If the default answer does not correctly reflect your determination technique, replace it.
BSFT does not define the mechanism used to determine the type of a file being processed.
Question 7: What is the contents type FTAM parameter value specified for FTAM-1 files sent to an initiator?
Question 8: How does an initiator generate a valid local filename when the user has not specified it and the remote filename cannot be used in the local filestore?
If the default answer does not correctly reflect your generation technique, replace it.
BSFT does not define the mechanism used to determine a valid local filename.
CAE Specification, Byte Stream File Transfer (BSFT), Section 7.9, Invalid Filenames.
Question 9: Over which connection-oriented transport profiles ("T-profiles") can the product operate?
The BSFT specification is specific about the support required for FTAM profiles; these profiles in turn state requirements for the upper layers of the OSI protocol stack. Thus, the only question that remains relates to support for transport profiles. BSFT states that it requires the support of the OSI Connection-oriented Transport Service.
