Appendix A Common TIBCO Object Service Broker Text-Based Workbench Functionality : Glossary

Glossary
A
accesslog
See audit log.
across-by field
A report field used to determine which data columns are to be printed on an across report. When a new value is encountered for an across-by field, a new data column is printed.
across report
A report that displays its data across the report in a spreadsheet-like format. See across-by field.
action
A statement within a rule. An action can occupy more than one line within a rule.
action sequence number
An identifier that determines which rules statements are executed when a given condition is satisfied.
Administration menu
A menu-based administrative tool used to monitor and control the TIBCO Object Service Broker operating environment. It is invoked by the S6BTLADM/hrntladm utility.
administrator workbench
A TIBCO Object Service Broker supplied session menu used by system administrators to administer the TIBCO Object Service Broker database. To invoke the administrator workbench, @ADMIN must be specified in the security user ID profile as the session menu to be used at login.
argument
A value that is passed to a rule.
argument list
An ordered collection of arguments specified within parentheses after the rule name. The argument separator is a comma.
assignment-by-name

bind
The copying of definitions or data into the Execution Environment binding area when the definition or data is first accessed by a session. Definitions of screens, tables, or rules, and the data of tables can be bound. Binding improves performance by reusing information stored in the binding area thereby reducing message traffic.

break fields
The report fields used to determine where a report is to take a control break. A new break within a body report table begins when a changed value is encountered in the break field.
break table
