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) A number between 00001 and 65534 that is assigned to identify a graphic character set. For i5/OS, the graphic character set global identifier is expressed as a 5-digit decimal number. For example, the invariant character set has the GCSGID of 00640.<br />(2) A unique graphic character set identifier that can be expressed as either a 2-byte binary value or a 5-digit decimal value.
Industry:Software
(1) A collection of methods used by applications when declarative security is not sufficient to express the security model of the application.<br />(2) Security model using Java enterprise-bean client applications that require the user to provide identifying information. The application must collect that information and authenticate the user.
Industry:Software
(1) A number containing a decimal point, an exponent, or both a decimal point and an exponent. The exponent contains an "e" or "E," an optional sign (+ or -), and one or more digits (0 through 9).<br />(2) A constant representing a non-integral number.
Industry:Software
(1) A separately installable software module that adds function to an existing program, application, or interface.<br />(2) A dynamically loadable library that a DB2 database management system uses to carry out user-written actions that involve the database.
Industry:Software
(1) A collection of one or more DB2 for z/OS subsystems that directly access and change the same data while maintaining data integrity.<br />(2) In IMS, the components involved in sysplex data sharing. Among the components are the sharing IMS subsystems, the IRLMs they use, the IRLM, OSAM, and VSAM structures in the coupling facility, and a single set of DBRC RECONs.
Industry:Software
(1) A number shown as an optional sign followed by one or more digits and a decimal point, which may be at the end.<br />(2) A numeric constant shown as an optional sign, followed by the letter D or E, followed by a 1- to 3-digit integer constant. For example, 3E-02, which is 3 times 10 to the -2 power or 0.03.
Industry:Software
(1) A collection of physical partitions organized into logical partitions, all contained in a single volume group. Logical volumes are expandable and can span several physical volumes in a volume group.<br />(2) The combined space on all volumes for either the database or the recovery log. The database is one logical volume and the recovery log is one logical volume.<br />(3) The storage medium associated with a single logical unit (LU). An LVOL typically resides on one or more storage devices.
Industry:Software
(1) A number, indicating to which power another number (the base) is to be raised.<br />(2) In floating-point format, an integer constant specifying the power of ten by which the base of the decimal floating-point number is to be multiplied.
Industry:Software
(1) A collection of related and connected CICS regions, which helps to address the inefficiencies in having multiple, full-function CICS systems processing a single OLTP workload. See also multiregion operation.<br />(2) The largest set of CICS regions, or systems, to be manipulated by CICSPlex SM as a single entity. CICS systems in a CICSplex being managed by CICSPlex SM do not need to be connected to each other.
Industry:Software
(1) A one-way communication path between a sending process and a receiving process.<br />(2) An interprocess communication mechanism that connects an output file descriptor to an input file descriptor. Usually the standard output of one process is connected to the standard input of another, forming a pipeline.<br />(3) To direct the data so that the output from one process becomes the input to another process. The standard output of one command can be connected to the standard input of another with the pipe operator. Two commands connected in this way constitute a pipeline.
