Batch
A collection of data operations that are processed during import at one time. The size is determined by a configurable parameter.
Bundle
A collection of import files, one file per data type, stored as a compressed archive containing a manifest. It is expected that the retailer or implementation team is responsible for delivering to the Store the bundle along with manifest for all data feeds to the Store. MOM applications can package the bundle but do not provide delivery functions.
Corporate
Used interchangeably with enterprise. The enterprise environment of the retailer where enterprise applications are deployed. Oracle Retail Central Office is deployed in the enterprise.
Data Access Object (DAO)
A Java class that can retrieve and persist data to and from a data source. DAO is well-known JEE development pattern.

Data Transfer Object (DTO)
A class that contains data records from a received payload. The DTO's attributes are populated with the parsed data.
Incremental
There are two types of update operation, full incremental and delta incremental. Full incremental assumes that all the fields for a data type are supplied in the XML. A delta incremental import contains only the fields that are being changed.
JEE/J2EE
Java Enterprise Edition (formerly Java 2 Enterprise Edition) is a set of APIs designed to support tier 1 type business models.
Kill And Fill
Kill And Fill refers to a data operation where all the existing data in a table is deleted (kill) and then replaced with new data (fill).
Limit (discount rule)
The maximum price allowed for a source or target to be part of a deal. Used most often when the source or target is a classification or department where many different priced items exist.
Manifest
