A PHP filter is used to validate and filter data coming from insecure sources.
To test, validate and filter user input or custom data is an important part of any web application.
The PHP filter extension is designed to make data filtering easier and quicker.

The window.history object can be written without the window prefix.
To protect the privacy of the users, there are limitations to how JavaScript can access this object.
Some methods:

    history.back() - same as clicking back in the browser
    history.forward() - same as clicking forward in the browser

In WF 4.0, the following two types of workflows are used:

 
     Flowchart workflows - Helps you to create workflows using the common flowchart elements. In WF, the Flowchart activity is generally used to implement a non-sequential workflow, and occasionally it implements sequential workflows in case the FlowDecision nodes are not used. The Flowchart activity contains a collection of flow nodes, which inherit from the FlowNode class. The following types of nodes or elements can be a part of a flowchart:
                 => FlowStep - Executes activities of a flowchart in a sequence.
                 => FlowDecision - Shows the execution on the basis of a Boolean condition.   It is similar to the If construct.
                 => FlowSwitch - Shows the execution on the basis of an exclusive switch. It is similar to the Switch construct.


      Procedural workflows - Helps you to create workflows using basic and sequential execution standards. In WF, procedural workflows use flow control constructs, such as While, Switch, ForEach, and If, to execute activities. These flow control constructs are similar to those found in procedural languages. Procedural workflows can also contain other flow control activities, such as Flowchart and Sequence.

Basic Replication : Basic replication is implemented using standard CREATE SNAPSHOT or CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW statements. It can only replicate data and not procedures, indexes replication is always one-way, and snapshot copies are read only.

Advanced Replication : Advanced replication supports various configurations of updatable snapshot, multi-master and update anywhere replication. It is more difficult to configure but allows data and other database objects like indexes and procedures to be replicated.

Differences between Basic and Advanced replications:

- With basic replication, data replicas provide read-only access to the table data whereas advanced replication features extend the capabilities of basic read-only replication by allowing applications to update table replicas throughout a replicated database system.

- With Basic Replication applications can query data from local data replicas. On the other hand with advanced replication, data replicas anywhere in the system can provide both read and update access to a table's data.

A protected method may only be accessed by classes or interfaces of the same package or by subclasses of the class in which it is declared.

IDENTIFICATION DIVISION and PROGRAM-ID paragraph are mandatory for a compilation error free COBOL program.

- NOHANDLE is an option that can be specified along with abnormal condition during program execution.

- When the exception occurs, no action is performed during execution of NOHANDLE command.

- The abnormal condition is ignored, even the EXEC CICS HANDLE condition exist.

- The abnormal condition is also ignored when EXEC CICS IGNORE condition is tested.

- The previous HANDLE CONDITION for other commands will not be effected with NOHANDLE option.

An OOK-Rec is a one of a kind record set, used to get to another record set.
