CORBA 2.6.1 Glossary

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.
local/remote transparency
Also called location transparency. The characteristic that makes it unnecessary for a client to know
whether an object it uses is local or remote.
