Sometimes referred to as “Big Blue” IBM is a multinational corporation headquartered in Armonk, New York. It manufactures computer hardware and software and provides information technology and services.
(1) An element of a DataStage job that describes a database or process. Stages are added to a job and linked together.<br />(2) A component that represents a data source, a processing step, or the data mart in a DataStage job.
Industry:Software
(1) In DB2 for z/OS and DB2 for i5/OS, a process by which SQL statements are bound automatically (without a user issuing a command) when an application process begins execution and the bound application plan or package that it requires is not valid. See also rebind.<br />(2) See implicit rebind.
Industry:Software
(1) One or more conductors used for transmitting signals or power.<br />(2) A facility for transferring data between several devices located between two end points, only one device being able to transmit at a given moment.<br />(3) A computer configuration in which processors are interconnected in series.<br />(4) Interconnecting messaging engines that manage bus resources.
Industry:Software
(1) An element of a raster pattern about which a toned area on a photoconductor can appear.<br />(2) The smallest printable or displayable unit that can be displayed. A common measurement of device resolution is picture elements per inch.
Industry:Software
(1) In DB2 for z/OS, a distinct instance of a relational database management system (RDBMS).<br />(2) An operating environment, defined by a subsystem description, where the system coordinates processing and resources.<br />(3) A secondary or subordinate system, usually capable of operating independently of, or asynchronously with, a controlling system.<br />(4) In z/OS, a service provider that performs one or many functions, but does nothing until asked. For example, each WebSphere MQ for z/OS queue manager is a z/OS subsystem.<br />(5) In the Remote System Explorer, a container for a particular user's remote System i libraries, command sets, and jobs.<br />(6) A model element that has the semantics of a package, such that it can contain other model elements, and a class, such that it has behavior. The behavior of the subsystem is provided by classes or other subsystems it contains. A subsystem realizes one or more interfaces, which define the behavior it can perform.<br />(7) In Unified Modeling Language (UML), a grouping of model elements, of which some constitute a specification of the behavior offered by the other contained model elements.
Industry:Software
(1) One or more contiguous elements of a string.<br />(2) For TCP/IP, the unit of end-to-end transmission in the TCP. A segment consists of control information and data fields. A segment is transmitted as an IP datagram.<br />(3) A part of a program that can be run without the entire program being in main storage.<br />(4) In IMS, the unit of access to a database; for the database system, the smallest amount of data that can be transferred by one IMS operation. For input terminal operations using IMS TM, a segment is defined by the particular terminal type and is obtained by the application program with one call.<br />(5) A group of pages that holds a row of a single table.<br />(6) A collection of composed text and images, prepared before formatting and included in a document when it is printed.<br />(7) In data mining, a group of input data records within a data set that have similar characteristics. Each group is called a segment. Within a segment, each piece of data is evaluated (or scored) for the degree to which it fits the segment to which it belongs. This statistical conformance is represented by a number, called the score, which ranges between 0.0 and 1.0. In DB2 Intelligent Miner, this concept is known as a cluster.<br />(8) A unit of code or data produced by the linker and existing only in an executable image of the program. The linker assigns attributes to sections, orders and groups them, and puts them into segments. See also section.
Industry:Software
(1) An element of a search condition that expresses or implies a comparison operation.<br />(2) A Boolean logic term denoting a logical expression that determines the state of a variable.<br />(3) A statement using rule language syntax or Prolog language syntax that performs a function in a rule action.<br />(4) A logical expression, typically involving sub-events, used to define a composite event. When the predicate becomes true, the composite event fires.
Industry:Software
(1) In DB2 for z/OS, a state into which a table can be put where only limited activity is allowed on the table and constraints are not checked when the table is updated.<br />(2) A state that occurs when data for a constraint cannot be verified as valid. A constraint could be either a referential constraint or a check constraint.<br />(3) A state of a table space or partition that prevents its use by some utilities and by some SQL statements because of rows that violate referential constraints, check constraints, or both.
Industry:Software
(1) One or more copies of a sheet of paper or form. Each copy can have modifications, such as text suppression, page position, forms flash, overlays, paper-source, and duplex printing.<br />(2) A policy object whose attributes control how backup copies or archive copies are generated, where they are located, and when they expire. A copy group belongs to a management class, which specifies how the server manages the backup copy or archive group.<br />(3) An internal object in a form definition or a print data set that controls such items as modifications to a form, page placement, and overlays.
Industry:Software
(1) An element of an Intelligent Network that contains the service logic that controls an intelligent network application and resources.<br />(2) A Blue Gene system which is responsible for management and control of a Blue Gene solution.
