Profile A Profile defines a set of APIs that a developer can use in applications
submitted to the
Content Delivery Server. See also Developer Plans .
Purchase Price A monetary value assigned to an item of content. The currency type as seen by
subscribers is determined by individual Vending Managers. The monetary
value is initially assigned by the Catalog Manager administrator in the local
currency of that administrator.
Record Management
System (RMS) A simple record-oriented database that allows a MIDlet to persistently store
information and retrieve it later. Different MIDlets can also use the RMS to
share data.

sound heard by someone receiving a call.
Short Message Service

a 5-bit mode) to mobile phones that use Global System for Mobile (GSM)
communication.
Stocked Item Content that is stocked on a Vending Manager and is available to subscribers
for download.
Subscriber An individual who downloads content from the Vending Manager .
Subscriber Accounts An account that defines an individual who subscribes to a service plan that
provides them with the download service. Subscriber Accounts are associated
with one or more
Subscriber Plan .
Subscriber Plan A plan that determines the content that a subscriber can access and download.
Subscriber Accounts are assigned to Subscriber Plans. A Subscriber Plan is
mapped to selected categories in the Vending Manager. The content in the
selected categories is made available to plan members. If content is in a
category that is not supported by the Subscriber Plan, the subscriber cannot
access it.
Content supported in one Subscriber Plan can be included in another
Subscriber Plan by nesting plans. This allows you to create a hierarchy of
Subscriber Plans.
System Administrator Person responsible for installation, configuration, deployment, and
performance of the Content Delivery Server.
System Capabilities System capabilities are primarily used by the Content Delivery Server. They
define capabilities that a device must have in order to perform Content
Delivery Server functionality. For instance, system capabilities define whether
a device supports SMS or WAP Push.
