tablish a relationship between a workflow definition and a document or document class. Linking a document class to a workflow definition enables a user to launch the workflow from any document belonging to that class. Linking a document to a workflow definition enables a user to launch the workflow from that document.
- An association between two entities, such as an ownership relationship between a person and a vehicle.
- In SNA, the combination of the link connection (the transmission medium) and two link stations (one at each end of the link connection). See also circuit.
- In TCP/IP, a term for a communications line. A TCP/IP link may share the use of a communications line with SNA.
- A bidirectional indication of dependency between two or more requirements in the same module or different modules.
- A relationship between a workflow definition and a document or document class.
- A line or arrow that connects activities in a process. A link passes information between activities and determines the order in which they run.
- In hypertext, an author-defined association between two information nodes.
- A connection that provides the physical transfer of data from one node to another.
- In a linked data system, a relationship between two artifacts as expressed by a unique URI.
- To interconnect items of data or portions of one or more computer programs, for example, the linking of object programs by a linkage editor or the linking of data items by pointers.
- A connection between two nodes in a JobStream.
- In IDDU, to connect a database file on disk with a file definition in a data dictionary. See also unlink.
- In a file system, a connection between an inode and one or more file names associated with it.
- A directional relationship between two items: the parent and the child. You can use a set of links to model one-to-many associations. See also reference.
- In data communication, a transmission medium and data link control (DLC) component that together transmit data between adjacent nodes.
- In Fibre Channel technology, two unidirectional fibers carrying data in opposite directions, along with their associated transmitters and receivers. See also circuit.
- An element of a data model that defines a relationship between data types and data items. See also dynamic link, static link.
- A representation of a data flow that joins the stages in a job. A link connects data sources to processing stages, connects processing stages to each other, and also connects those processing stages to target systems. The types of links are input link, output link, reference link, and reject link. See also input link, output link, reference link, reject link.
- In programming, the part of a program that passes control and parameters between separate portions of the computer program.
- In Informix, a way of combining separately compiled program modules into one module that is typically used in an executable program.
- An icon that provides direct access from one Notes document, view, or database (the source object) to any other document, view, or database (the target object). Notes opens the target object without closing the source object that was branched from.
- In a file system, a connection between a directory and an object. The link is established when the object is created.
link access procedure (LAP)
A link level element used for data interchange between data circuit-terminating equipment (DCE) and data terminal equipment (DTE) operating in user classes of service 8 to 11, as specified in CCITT Recommendation X.1. See also link access procedure-balanced.
link access procedure-balanced (LABP)
A procedure for gaining access to an X.25 network at the link level. LAPB uses a full-duplex, asynchronous, symmetric (balanced) protocol used in point-to-point communication. See also link access procedure.
link access procedure-D-channel (LAPD)
A procedure, recommended by the CCITT, for using an integrated services digital network (ISDN) on the data link level. LAPD is a duplex, asynchronous, symmetric procedure used to communicate control instr
