HP Reliable Transaction Router - Manual (Page 86)

bank
An establishment for the custody of money, which it pays out on
a customer’s request.
branch
A subdivision of a bank; perhaps in another town.
broadcast
A nontransactional message.
callout server
A server process used for transactional authentication.
CGI
Common Gateway Interface
channel
A logical port opened by an application with an identifier to
exchange messages with RTR.
client
A client is always a client application, one that initiates and
demarcates a piece of work. In the context of RTR, a client must
run on a node defined to have the frontend role. Clients typically
deal with presentation services, handling forms input, screens,
and so on. A browser, perhaps running an applet, could connect
to a web application that acts as an RTR client, sending data to
a server through RTR.
In other contexts, a client can be a physical system, but in the
context of RTR and in this document, such a system is always
called a frontend or a node.
client classes
C++ foundation classes used for implementing client
applications.
commit process
The transactional process by which a transaction is prepared,
accepted, committed, and hardened in the database.
