CORBA 2.3 Glossary (NonStop CORBA 2.3.7+)

legacy system
For NonStop CORBA, an existing system that is not based on the CORBA model.
lifecycle
The series of steps through which an object is created and deleted, activated and deactivated.
lifecycle service
A standard application service for creating and deleting objects. See also Common Object Services
(COS).
link
A logical connection between processes. In NonStop TS/MP, the logical connection between a
requesting process and a server in a server pool.
LINKMON process
The NonStop TS/MP process that obtains links for all requesters in a CPU.
listener event handler
An object, defined by the NonStop CORBA event framework to support asynchronous
communication between a NonStop CORBA server and a client that uses other technology, that
establishes and maintains connections between a legacy client and a NonStop CORBA server
(such as a server event handler). Listener event handlers and server event handlers are used in
legacy client wrappers.
listener event-handler user
An object, defined by the NonStop CORBA event framework, that uses the services of a listener
event handler. A legacy client wrapper typically acts as both a listener event-handler user and a
server event-handler user.
literal
A value that identifies an entity that is not an object.
Literals can be categorized as follows:
Integer literals--one or more digits●
Character literals--one or more characters●
Floating-point literals--an integer, decimal point, fraction, an e or E, and an optionally
signed integer exponent
●
String literals--a sequence of zero or more characters enclosed within double quotes●
load balancing
The distribution of network traffic or application workload across available lines or processes,
respectively.
