Pathway CGI An extension to iTP Secure WebServer that provides CGI -like access to Pathway server classes.
Extended in the NonStop Server for Java so that Java servlets can be invoked from a
ServletServerClass, a special Pathway CGI server.
Pathway/TS An HP product that provides tools for developing and interpreting screen programs to support
OLTP programs in the Guardian environment on NonStop servers. Pathway/TS screen programs
communicate with terminals and intelligent devices. Pathway/TS requires the services of the
TS/MP product.
persistence A property of a programming language where created objects and variables continue to
exist and retain their values between runs of the program.
1.
2. The capability of continuing in existence, such as a program running as a process.
portability The ability to transfer programs from one platform to another without reprogramming. A
characteristic of open systems. Portability implies use of standard programming languages such
as C.
Portable Operating
System Interface X
(POSIX)
A family of interrelated interface standards defined by ANSI and IEEE. Each POSIX interface is
separately defined in a numbered ANSI/IEEE standard or draft standard. The standards deal
with issues of portability, interoperability, and uniformity of user interfaces.
POSIX See Portable Operating System Interface X (POSIX).
private key An encryption key that is not known to all parties.
protocol A set of formal rules for transmitting data, especially across a network. Low-level protocols define
electrical and physical standards, bit-ordering, byte-ordering, and the transmission, error detection,
and error correction of the bit stream. High-level protocols define data formatting, including the
syntax of messages, the terminal-to-computer dialogue, character sets, sequencing of messages,
and so on.
Pthread A POSIX thread.
public key An encryption key that is known to all parties.
pure Java Java that relies only on the Core Packages, meaning that it can run anywhere.
R
_RLD_LIB_PATH The location where the Java VM and other Java programs search for the TNS/E jdbcMx PIC file.
Set _RLD_LIB_PATH explicitly or with the _RLD_LIB_PATH environment variable.
RDF See Remote Duplicate Database Facility (RDF).
Remote Duplicate
Database Facility
(RDF)
The HP software product that does the following:
Assists in disaster recovery for OLTP production databases.•
• Monitors database updates audited by the TMF subsystem on a primary system and applies
those updates o a copy of the database on a remote system.
Remote Method
Invocation (RMI)
The Java package used for homogeneous distributed objects in an all-Java environment.
requester See client.
RMI See Remote Method Invocation (RMI).
rmic The Java RMI stub compiler, which generates stubs and skeletons for remote objects.
rmicregistry The Java Remote Object Registry, which starts a remote object registry on the specified port on
the current host.
S
scalability The ability to increase the size and processing power of an online transaction processing system
by adding processors and devices to a system, systems to a network, and so on, and to do so
easily and transparently without bringing systems down. Sometimes called expandability.
Scalable TCP/IP
(SIP)
A NonStop Server for Java feature that transparently provides a way to give scalability and
persistence to a network server written in Java.
serialization See Object Serialization.
