TMF

See HP NonStop Transaction Management Facility (TMF)

TNS/E

The hardware platform based on the Intel® Itanium® architecture and the HP NonStop operating system and

software that are specific to that platform. All code is PIC (position independent code).

TNS/R

The hardware platform based on the MIPS™ architecture and the HP NonStop operating system and software

that are specific to that platform. Code may be PIC (position independent code) or non-PIC.

transaction

A user-defined action that a client program (usually running on a workstation) requests from a server.

Transaction Management Facility (TMF)

A set of HP software products for NonStop systems that assures database integrity by preventing incomplete

updates to a database. It can continuously save the changes that are made to a database (in real time) and back

out these changes when necessary. It can also take online "snapshot" backups of the database and restore the

database from these backups.

Unicode

A character-coding scheme designed to be an extension of ASCII. By using 16 bits for each character (rather

than ASCII's 7), Unicode can represent almost every character of every language and many symbols (such as

"&") in an internationally standard way, eliminating the complexity of incompatible extended character sets and

code pages. Unicode's first 128 codes correspond to those of standard ASCII.

uniform resource locator (URL)

A draft standard for specifying an object on a network (such as a file, a newsgroup, or, with JDBC, a database).

URLs are used extensively on the World Wide Web. HTML documents use them to specify the targets of

hyperlinks.

URL

See uniform resource locator (URL).

virtual machine (VM)

A self-contained operating environment that behaves as if it is a separate computer. See also Java virtual

machine.
