The API supports multiple simultaneous operations on multiple filestores. When FTAM transfers occur over an unreliable network or to an unreliable system, a number of different errors can occur. The restart and recovery options provide solutions for these events. Restart allows the data transfer to be interrupted, and restarted immediately, from some negotiated point within the current transfer. This could be used if errors were were detected when writing data to the file.
Recovery is used when a more serious error has occurred, like a deleted file or aborted association.
Recovery re-establishes the association if necessary, and restarts the data transfer from a negotiated point within the transfer that was aborted.
