An alert channel defines an alert target to receive resulting messages.
Alert messages are automatically generated; however, users can subscribe to the type of alert messages they want to receive.
Users define an alert subscription to receive alert notifications sent through a specified channel to a specified target.
Alerts are sent to alert targets. A single alert message can be sent to multiple targets.
Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) Dashboard is a Web-based tool that graphically represents message and object tracking to authorized users.
Business activity monitoring (BAM), a term coined by Gartner, is the concept of providing real-time access to critical business performance indicators with the goal of improving the efficiency and effectiveness of business operations. Definition from www.businessactivitymonitoring.com.

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.
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.
The ability for data in different databases to be kept up-to-date so that each repository contains the same information.
An endpoint is 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.
An event is an inbound message. The arrival of a document or a notification within a business process are examples of events.
Monitor Console is a Web-based tool contained in the Runtime Management Console that enables users to monitor messages and objects.
Monitor Design perspective enables the user to define how messages and objects are to be monitored in a business process service.
A monitor service can be created and added to a business process service using the Sybase WorkSpace tooling to monitor real-time business activities within the service.
A monitored object is an abstract entity of defined attributes that remains static in your messaging environment. However, as messages are processed, attributes of the object may change.
A monitoring point is any point in the process that generates a monitoring message.
The Runtime Management Console is a Web-based tool that is used in business activity monitoring and service development.
Business activity monitoring - Used for defining alert channels, targets, and subscriptions and provides access to the BAM Dashboard and Monitor Console for authorized users.
Service development - Provides remote access to services command and control and enables the setup of security profiles to use encryption and decryption operations within a business process service.
A setType definition defines the message or object to be monitored. A setType definition includes the identification of which field data to monitor and the specification of each monitoring point, how data can be viewed, which operations to perform on the data, and which alert messages are set.
Support for Simple Network Management Protocol. In the Alert Management System, SNMP support facilitates the sending of alert messages.
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.
Web Services Description Language. WSDL is a general purpose XML language for describing interface, protocol bindings, and deployment details of network services. As an XML-formatted language, WSDL is used to describe the capabilities of a Web service as collections of communication endpoints capable of exchanging messages. The WSDL details the available methods and parameters types as well as the actual SOAP endpoint for a service. For more information, see http://www.w3.org.
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.
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.
