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 class data type that contains an ordered group of data objects. Unlike an array, the data objects within a structure can have varied data types.<br />(2) A name that refers collectively to different types of DB2 objects, such as tables, databases, views, indexes, and table spaces.<br />(3) A series of elements that have been graded or ranked in some useful manner. In Business Integration Modeler, a graphical representation of the relationships between different real entities in an organization.<br />(4) A construct used to map and manage storage on a coupling facility.
Industry:Software
(1) A class of objects designated by a specific term or concept; denotation.<br />(2) An element or function not included in the standard language.<br />(3) In Eclipse, the mechanism that a plug-in uses to extend the platform. See also extension point.
Industry:Software
(1) A code, representing the instructions of an instruction set, that is implemented in a part of storage that is not program-addressable.<br />(2) Stored microinstructions, not available to users, that perform certain functions. See also firmware.
Industry:Software
(1) A coded representation in which each bit, or group of bits, represents or corresponds to an item; for example, a configuration of bits in main storage in which each bit indicates whether a peripheral device or a storage block is available or in which each group of bits corresponds to one pixel of a display image.<br />(2) A pixmap with a depth of one bit plane.<br />(3) A representation of an image by an array of bits.
Industry:Software
(1) A named control structure used by an application program to point to and select a row of data from a set. See also insensitive cursor, sensitive cursor, cursor sensitivity, dynamic cursor, static cursor, asensitive cursor.<br />(2) A movable symbol on a display, often a blinking or solid block of light, that identifies a choice to select, indicates where user interaction with the keyboard will appear, or indicates a position of interest on the display surface.<br />(3) A reference to an element at a specific position in a data structure.<br />(4) A displayed symbol that acts as a marker to help the user locate a point in text, in a system command, or in storage. Cursors mark file position and access information in distributed data management (DDM) architecture.<br />(5) During a HALDB online reorganization, a marker in a database partition that separates the copied database records from the records that have not been copied. The cursor indicates the progress of the reorganization through the HALDB partition.
Industry:Software
(1) A collection of complete systems that work together to provide a single, unified computing capability.<br />(2) In SNA, a group of stations that consist of a controller (cluster controller) and the workstations attached to it.<br />(3) In high-availability cluster multiprocessing (HACMP), a set of independent systems (called nodes) that are organized into a network for the purpose of sharing resources and communicating with each other.<br />(4) In WebSphere MQ, a group of two or more queue managers on one or more computers, providing automatic interconnection, and allowing queues to be shared amongst them for load balancing and redundancy.<br />(5) In Microsoft Cluster Server, a group of computers, connected together and configured in such a way that, if one fails, MSCS performs a failover, transferring the state data of applications from the failing computer to another computer in the cluster and reinitiating their operation there.<br />(6) A data set defined to VSAM. A cluster can be a key-sequenced data set, an entry-sequenced data set, or a relative record data set.<br />(7) A group of application servers that collaborates for the purposes of workload balancing and failover.<br />(8) A group of two or more Domino servers that provides users with constant access to data, balances the workload among servers, improves server performance, and maintains performance when the size of an enterprise increases.<br />(9) A loosely coupled collection of independent systems (or nodes) organized into a network for the purpose of sharing resources and communicating with each other. See also GPFS cluster.
Industry:Software
(1) A collection of database objects such as tables, views, indexes, or triggers that define a database. A database schema provides a logical classification of database objects. See also collection.<br />(2) A group of object classes defined for and applicable to a single namespace.<br />(3) See XML schema.<br />(4) See SQL schema.
Industry:Software
(1) A network divided into smaller independent subgroups, which still are interconnected.<br />(2) To divide a network into smaller interconnected, but independent subgroups.
Industry:Software
(1) A network infrastructure component to which multiple nodes attach. Unlike a hub, a switch typically has internal bandwidth that is a multiple of link bandwidth and the ability to rapidly switch a node connection from one to another. A typical switch can accommodate several simultaneous full-link bandwidth transmissions between different pairs of nodes.<br />(2) A device that provides connections between telephone lines and trunks.<br />(3) A half-duplex or full-duplex device that detects which devices are attached at each port and passes only frames addressed to those devices on that port. A switch has a small collision domain.
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.
