A library of routines that is part of Open ClientConnect. See also Open ClientConnect.
A customer-written CICS program initiated on the host that uses the Sybase API to invoke MainframeConnect for DB2 UDB as a client to DirectConnect or SQL Server. Compare with remote stored procedure.
A computer-based system for defining, creating, manipulating, controlling, managing, and using databases.
A Sybase Open Server application that provides access management for non-Sybase databases, copy management, and remote systems management. Each DirectConnect consists of a server and one or more service libraries to provide access to a specific data source.
A Sybase Windows application that provides remote management capabilities for DirectConnect products. These capabilities include starting, stopping, creating, and copying services.
A Sybase LAN-based solution that communicates with mainframe host components. It incorporates the functionality of the MDI Database Gateway and the Sybase Net-Library and includes LU 6.2 and TCP/IP support.
The component that provides general management and support functions (such as log file management) to service libraries.
The named set of properties, used with a DirectConnect Service Library, to which clients connect. Each DirectConnect can have multiple services.
The component that provides a set of functions within the DirectConnect Server environment.
A file containing executable code and data bound to a program at load time or run time, rather than during linking. The code and data in a dynamic link library can be shared by several applications simultaneously.
A coded character set of 256 8-bit characters.
The combination of internationalization and localization. See also internationalization, localization.
A type of computer interface consisting of a visual metaphor of a real-world scene, often of a desktop. Within that scene are icons, representing actual objects, that the user can access and manipulate with a pointing device.
The Sybase DirectConnect server installation program. An interactive program that is used to install DirectConnect products and programs that support them.
An operating system file that determines how the host client software connects to a Sybase product. The file must be available on each machine that connects to DirectConnect or other Sybase products.
The process of extracting locale-specific components from the source code and moving them into one or more separate modules, making the code culturally neutral so it can be localized for a specific culture. See also globalization. Compare with localization.
A named disk area that can contain programs and related information. A library consists of different sections, called library members.
The process of preparing an extracted module for a target environment, in which messages are displayed and logged in the user’s language; numbers, money, dates, and time are represented using the user’s cultural convention; and documents are displayed in the user’s language. See also globalization. Compare with internationalization.
A type of unit that enables end-users or programs to gain access to network resources and communicate with each other.
A logical unit that supports general communication between programs in a distributed processing environment. See also advanced program-to-program communication.
A Sybase mainframe solution that provides dynamic access to DB2 data. It replaces the OmniSQL Access Module for DB2 and the functionality of the MDI Access Server.
A Sybase product that provides communication between a mainframe and a LAN server. Net-Gateway is the “ancestor” of the DirectConnect Transaction Router Service. See also Transaction Router Service.
A Sybase product that lets PC applications become clients of SQL Server or Open Server. See also client, Open Server, SQL Server.
A customer-selected name or a registered name that uniquely identifies a specific subnetwork.
A system that supports database maintenance through an interactive user interface. The user usually requires a response time of less than three seconds.
A Sybase product that provides customer applications, third-party products, and other Sybase products with the interfaces required to communicate with Open Client and Open Server applications.
A Sybase product that allows mainframe clients to send requests to SQL Server, Open Server, MainframeConnect for DB2 UDB, and Open ClientConnect using Client-Library. Open ClientConnect provides capability for the mainframe to act as a client to LAN-based resources.
A Sybase product that provides the tools and interfaces required to create a custom server.
A Sybase product that provides capability for programmatic access to mainframe data. It allows workstation-based clients to execute customer-written mainframe transactions remotely.
A stored procedure executed on a different DirectConnect Server from the one onto which a user is logged or on which the initiating application resides.
A customer-written CICS program that resides on the mainframe and communicates with MainframeConnect for DB2 UDB. Compare with client services application.
A feature that allows a system administrator to manage multiple DirectConnect Servers and multiple services from a client.
A functional unit that provides shared services to workstations over a network. See also client/server. Compare with client.
A functionality available to DirectConnect applications. It is the pairing of a service library and a set of specific configuration properties.
A set of configuration properties that determine service functionality. Examples of service libraries include access service libraries, administrative service libraries, and transaction router service libraries. See also access service library, administrative service library, Transaction Router Service Library, transfer service library.
A type of service name resolution that allows a system administrator to map alternative connections to services. See also service name resolution. Compare with direct resolution.
