chnology, 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 instructions, such as setting up and dropping a connection, to the control channel (D-channel) of ISDN.
link access protocol balanced (LAPB)
A protocol that is used to access an X.25 network at the link level. LAPB is a duplex, asynchronous, symmetric protocol that is used in point-to-point communication.
Refers to the binding between a reference and a definition. A function has internal linkage if the function is defined inline as part of the class, is declared with the inline keyword, or is a non-member function declared with the static keyword. All other functions have external linkage.
linkage options part
In EGL, a build part that gives details on how a generated program calls and is called by other programs. The part also gives details on how a generated COBOL program accesses files on remote CICS regions. The information in this part is used at generation time, test time, and run time.
The grouping of physical network interface cards, such as cables or ports, into a single logical network interface. Link aggregation is used to increase bandwidth and network availability. See also aggregate interface.
An attribute instance that references another object, such as a catalog, hierarchy, item, or category. See also relationship attribute.
link connection network
See connection network.
link connection segment
A portion of a configuration that is located between two resources that are listed consecutively in the service point command service (SPCS) query link configuration request list.
An indication that the meaning of a link is different for each of its ends. For example, the direction of a telephone call makes one end the caller and the other the recipient. Link direction can influence the centrality measures used in social network analysis.
A capability that enables external applications that are integrated with Rational DOORS to find OSLC links in Rational DOORS and make them visible in the external applications. See also back linking.
linked HATS/WebFacing project
A combined project that includes both WebFacing
