CAN/CSA-Z243.174-90

This National Standard of Canada is equivalent to International Standard ISo 8832-1989. 1.1 Scope This International Standard specifies the behaviour to be exhibited by an implementation claiming to conform to this International Standard. It specifies both dynamic conformance and static conformance. It can be referenced by other OSI Standards (using the notation defined in the JTm Service Definition) to invoke the procedures specified in this International Standard. This International Standard is to be applied by an implementor in developing a conforming implementation, and can also be referenced when the requirements for an implementation are specified. The facilities provided by a JTM implementation are applicable to any field of activity in which asynchronous movement of documents is to occur. This International Standard does not completely determine the transfer syntax to be used in an instance of communication, but does specify a transfer syntax which all implementations are required to support. This International Standard specifies - the application-context name to be used to reference the procedures of this International Standard in application-context negotiation; - the abstract syntax name to used be to reference the abstract syntax of a JTm Transfer Element, CCR user data and JTM-defined documents, specified in this International Standard by use of ASN.1; - the transfer syntax name to be used to reference the transfer syntax obtained by applying the ASN.1 Basic Encoding Rules to the abstract syntax specified using ASN.1. This International Standard defines a set of local management functions which are needed in order to support the operation of a JTM implementation. These local management functions are invoked by the JTM Application Service Element. They are not modelled as operations within the application entity, nor do they form part of the normal services provided by or assumed by the JTM Application Service Element. They form a means of specifying the degree of flexibility which is permitted to or required of implementations conforming to this International Standard.
