Process Orchestration Glossary

channels

Web content that is optimized for and delivered to mobile devices by M-Business Anywhere server. Channels are defined by a base URL and by other parameters such as channel size, link depth, image preferences, and frequency of refresh. M-Business Anywhere server automatically delivers new information from the specified URL to M-Business Client on the connecting mobile device.

connection profile

A connection profile is a configuration set used to access an endpoint. For example, the connection profile for a database endpoint defines the database name, server, user ID, and password parameters that facilitate the connection to the physical database. The server connection profiles provide the information to connect directly to a specific server.

data federation
Enterprise information integration (EII) software that streamlines the integration of data from many distributed sources without replicating or moving the data from the original sources. Data Federation provides applications with standardized access to integrated views of data through a single data layer that masks the complexity of the diverse underlying data sources.
data synchronization

The ability for data in different databases to be kept up-to-date so that each repository contains the same information.

endpoint

A physical instance or implementation of a particular resource type. For example, a database endpoint specifies a particular database instance used in the tooling through a connection profile. The endpoint for a Java service is the Java source file that implements that service. Other examples are Java classes, stored procedures, and Web services.

event

An event is an inbound message. The arrival of a document or a notification within a business process are examples of events.

monitor service

A monitor service can be created to enable real-time monitoring of business activities, using the Monitor Console or BAM Dashboard.

SNMP support

Provides support for Simple Network Management Protocol, which facilitates the sending of alert notifications.

transformation

The process of transforming an object of one form into an object of another form. An example is the transformation of content from one type of XML document to another type. The transformation can include structural and content changes.

WSDL

Web Services Description Language is a general purpose XML language for describing interface, protocol bindings, and deployment details of network services. As an XML-formatted language, SDL is used to describe the capabilities of a Web service as collections of communication endpoints capable of exchanging messages. The SDL details the available methods and parameters types as well as the actual SOAP endpoint for a service.

See http://www.w3.org for more information.

XML

Extensible Markup Language. XML is a standardized meta-language used to allow easy interchange of documents. XML provides a syntactic system for describing metadata, allowing you to define the tags (markup) needed to identify the content, data, and text, in XML documents.

XML document

An XML document is a message or file encoded using XML production rules. XML documents typically have content (or data), which conforms to a particular content model or schema. The content model may travel with the data content as a doctype, but most often valid structure for documents of a particular type or class is provided by an external content model or schema such as DTD, XSD, or XDR-based syntax.
