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 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.

(1) A parameter whose value limits or defines the resources that can be used by the database manager or a database. Some configuration parameters are informational and define characteristics about the environment that cannot be changed. See also database configuration parameter.<br />(2) A variable that controls the behavior of the system or the behavior of all applications running on the system.
Industry:Software
(1) A communication sent from a person or program to another person or program.<br />(2) In OSI Message Services, a piece of electronic mail in the format of the X.400 CCITT standard. An X.400 message can be a document, note, message, or file.<br />(3) An assembly of characters and sometimes control codes that is transferred as an entity from an originator to one or more recipients. A message consists of two parts: envelope and content.<br />(4) A formatted transfer unit used to exchange control or payment information.<br />(5) In system programming, information intended for the terminal operator or system administrator.<br />(6) A set of data that is passed from one application to another. A message can be modeled by a message definition, which describes the structure and content of the message. Messages must have a structure and format that is agreed by the sending and receiving applications. See also category.<br />(7) In UML modeling, a model element that defines a specific kind of communication between participants (roles or objects) in an interaction.
Industry:Software
(1) A particular computing system, including the work it does and the people who manage it, operate it, apply it to problems, service it, and use the results it produces.<br />(2) The process of adding a hardware or software component to a computing environment.<br />(3) A set of artifacts from one or more DB2 database products.
Industry:Software
(1) A communications handle used by TCP/IP.<br />(2) An identifier that an application uses to uniquely identify an end point of communication. The user associates a protocol address with the socket by associating a socket address with the socket.<br />(3) A means for directing data to an application in a TCP/IP network using a unique identifier that is a combination of an IP address and a port number.<br />(4) In the Network Computing System (NCS), a port on a specific host; a communications end point that is accessible through a protocol family's addressing mechanism. A socket is identified by a socket address.<br />(5) A callable TCP/IP programming interface that TCP/IP network applications use to communicate with remote TCP/IP partners.
Industry:Software
(1) A pattern to help the user identify the location of keys on a keyboard, functions assigned to keys on a keyboard, or switches and lights on a control panel.<br />(2) An object used to create new objects of the same type. The newly created object has the same characteristics as the template.<br />(3) In REXX, a guide that allows strings to be parsed by words (delimited by blanks), by explicit matching of strings, or by specifying numeric positions.<br />(4) A family of C++ classes or functions with variable types.<br />(5) A DB2 utilities output data set descriptor that is used for dynamic allocation. A template is defined by the TEMPLATE utility control statement.<br />(6) In WebSphere Commerce, a predefined skeleton or pattern that determines how information displays on a Web page. The template defines characteristics such as the location and type of text and images, and background color.<br />(7) A model of a new Notes database. If it is a design template, it will update database design elements created from the template.<br />(8) A standard layout used in such system communications as e-mail, approval requests, and error messages.<br />(9) A HATS resource that describes the relatively static portion of the Web pages presented by the HATS application, including a banner and navigation area.
Industry:Software
(1) A component of a schedule that divides the timeline into named intervals, such as peak, off-peak, and no service.<br />(2) The symbol ".". The term dot is used for the same symbol when referring to a Web address or file extension. This character is named <period> in the portable character set. See also dot.
Industry:Software
(1) A permanent global variable defined by WebSphere Voice Response for use by state tables. Many system variables are loaded with values when the state table is initialized. Some values are taken from system parameters. See also input parameter, local variable.<br />(2) A user-defined keyword and value pair that can be used to test and track the status of network resources. System variables can be referred to wherever event-data substitution is allowed.
Industry:Software
(1) A persistent storage area for data and other application resources.<br />(2) A collection of information about the queue managers that are members of a cluster. This information includes queue manager names, their locations, their channels, what queues they host, and so on.<br />(3) A VSAM data set on which the states of BTS processes are stored. When a process is not executing under the control of BTS, its state (and the states of its constituent activities) are preserved by being written to a repository data set. The states of all processes of a particular process-type (and of their activity instances) are stored on the same repository data set. Records for multiple process-types can be written to the same repository.<br />(4) A persistent storage area where packages are available for download.
Industry:Software
(1) A person who creates or modifies components of the WebSphere business integration system, such as connectors, collaborations, business objects, and maps. The developer typically uses IBM-provided templates or existing components as the basis for developing new ones.<br />(2) A person responsible for developing the required software functions that conform to project standards and procedures. This work can include performing activities in any of the requirements, analysis and design, implementation, and test disciplines.
