serialized object An object that has undergone object serialization.
serialver The Serial Version Command, which returns the serialVersionUID of one or more classes.
Also, the command to run the Serial Version Command.
server An implementation of a system used as a stand-alone system or as a node in an Expand
network.
1.
2. The hardware component of a computer system designed to provide services in response
to requests received from clients across a network. For example, NonStop system servers
provide transaction processing, database access, and other services.
3. A process or program that provides services to a client. Servers are designed to receive
request messages from clients; perform the desired operations, such as database inquiries
or updates, security verifications, numerical calculations, or data routing to other computer
systems; and return reply messages to the clients.
servlet A server -side Java program that any World Wide Web browser can access. It inherits scalability
and persistence from the Pathway CGI server that manages it.
The Java class named servlets executes in server environments such as World Wide Web servers.
The Servlet API is defined in a draft standard by Oracle. The servlets class is not in the Core
Packages for the JDK.
set() method A method used to modify a data item. For example, the SQLMPConnection.setAutoCommit()
method changes the transaction mode of the JDBC driver's connection to an SQL/MP or SQL/MX
database. Compare to get() method.
shell The command interpreter used to pass commands to an operating system; the part of the operating
system that is an interface to the outside world.
SIP See Scalable TCP/IP (SIP).
skeleton In RMI , the complement of the stub. Together, skeletons and stubs form the interface between
the RMI services and the code that calls and implements remote objects.
SQL/MP See HP NonStop SQL/MP.
SQL/MX See HP NonStop SQL/MX.
SQLJ Also referred to SQLJ Part 0 the "Database Language SQL—Part 10: Object Language Bindings
(SQL/OLB) part of the ANSI SQL-2002 standard that allows static SQL statements to be embedded
directly in a Java program.
Standard Extension
API
An API outside the Core Packages for which Oracle has defined and published an API standard.
Some of the Standard Extensions might migrate into the Core Packages. Examples of standard
extensions are servlets and JTS.
stored procedure A procedure registered with NonStop SQL/MX and invoked by NonStop SQL/MX during execution
of a CALL statement. Stored procedures are especially important for client/server database systems
because storing the procedure on the server side means that it is available to all clients. And
when the procedure is modified, all clients automatically get the new version.
stored procedure
in Java (SPJ)
A stored procedure whose body is a static Java method.
stub A dummy procedure used when linking a program with a runtime library. The stub need not
contain any code. Its only purpose is to prevent "undefined label" errors at link time.
1.
2. A local procedure in a remote procedure call (RPC). A client calls the stub to perform a task,
not necessarily aware that the RPC is involved. The stub transmits parameters over the network
to the server and returns results to the caller.
