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 computer program that performs functions such as scheduling, initiation, and termination of jobs.<br />(2) A multithread, multiprocess background server designed to handle the scheduling and launching of jobs, based on a simple timing scheme. See also broadcast job.<br />(3) A service that provides time-dependent services.
Industry:Software
(1) A physical sheet of paper or other medium on which data is printed.<br />(2) In query management, an object that describes how to format the data for printing or displaying a report.<br />(3) A display screen, printed document, or file with defined spaces for information to be inserted.<br />(4) A partially-filled message containing data that can be copied for a new message of the same message type.<br />(5) A Notes database element that controls how a user edits, displays, and prints documents. A form can contain fields, static text, graphics, and special objects. A Notes database can have any number of forms.
Industry:Software
(1) A condition under which a transaction cannot proceed because it is dependent on exclusive resources that are locked by another transaction, which in turn is dependent on exclusive resources in use by the original transaction.<br />(2) Unresolved contention for the use of resources.<br />(3) A condition in which two independent threads of control are blocked, each waiting for the other to take some action. Deadlock often arises from adding synchronization mechanisms to avoid race conditions.
Industry:Software
(1) A piece of equipment. Devices can be workstations, printers, disk drives, tape units, or remote systems.<br />(2) In the AIX operating system, a valuator, button, or the keyboard. Buttons have values of 0 or 1 (up or down); valuators return values in a range, and the keyboard returns ASCII values.<br />(3) In UML modeling, a type of node that represents a physical computational resource in a system, such as an application server.
Industry:Software
(1) A connection between two programs over a session that allows them to communicate with each other while processing a transaction. See also SQL processing conversation, transaction, session.<br />(2) See speech recognition session.<br />(3) In FEPI, a sequence of related data transmission between a FEPI application and a particular back-end system. This is analogous to a CICS APPC conversation, but it is not the same as an IMS conversation, and it is not related to CICS conversational mode.<br />(4) The communication between a CICS Transaction Gateway and a CICS server.<br />(5) A dialog between a terminal and a message processing program using IMS conversational processing facilities. Also, a dialog between an LU 6.2 program and an IMS application program. A conversation between a terminal and a message processing program is significant status that is kept in RM, if RM is used. Status for a held conversation is not kept in RM. The IMS conversation is represented by a CCB. See also conversational processing.
Industry:Software
(1) A connection that provides the physical transfer of data from one node to another.<br />(2) In a file system, a connection between a directory and an object. The link is established when the object is created.<br />(3) In hypertext, an author-defined association between two information nodes.<br />(4) In SNA, the combination of the link connection (the transmission medium) and two link stations (one at each end of the link connection).<br />(5) In TCP/IP, a term for a communications line. A TCP/IP link may share the use of a communications line with SNA.<br />(6) In a file system, a connection between an i-node and one or more file names associated with it.<br />(7) In data communication, a transmission medium and data link control (DLC) component that together transmit data between adjacent nodes.<br />(8) A line or arrow that connects activities in a process. A link passes information between activities and determines the order in which they run.<br />(9) A directional relationship between two items: the parent and the child. You can use a set of links to model one-to-many associations. See also reference.
Industry:Software
(1) A connectivity topology that connects a series of systems or expansion units together. Signals can travel in either direction for optimized performance. Redundancy is provided to each unit by treating the connection as a string when a failure occurs somewhere in the loop.<br />(2) A sequence of instructions performed repeatedly.<br />(3) A closed unidirectional signal path connecting input and output devices to a system.<br />(4) A configuration of devices connected to the fabric by way of a fabric loop port (FL_port) interface card.<br />(5) The physical connection between a pair of device adapters in the ESS. See also device adapter.
Industry:Software
(1) A place in a program at which a check is made, or at which a recording of data is made to allow the program to be restarted in case of interruption.<br />(2) A point at which the database manager records internal status information on the log; the recovery process uses this information if the subsystem abnormally terminates.
Industry:Software
(1) A continuous sequence of data elements being transmitted one character at a time, or intended for transmission, using a defined format.<br />(2) In the CVS team programming environment, a shared copy of application resources that is updated by development team members as they make changes. The stream represents the current state of the project.<br />(3) A method of topic partitioning that is used by applications that connect to MQSeries Publish/Subscribe SupportPac brokers.<br />(4) An object that specifies configuration rules for a UCM view.<br />(5) A file access object that allows access to an ordered sequence of characters, as described by the ISO C standard. Such objects can be created by the fdopen() or fopen() functions, and are associated with a file descriptor. A stream provides the additional services of user-selectable buffering and formatted input and output.
Industry:Software
(1) A portion of a page set. Each partition corresponds to a single, independently extendable data set. Partitions can be extended to a maximum size of 1, 2, or 4 gigabytes, depending on the number of partitions in the partitioned page set. All partitions of a given page set have the same maximum size.<br />(2) On a personal computer hard disk, one of four possible storage areas of variable size; one may be accessed by DOS and each of the others may be assigned to another operating system.<br />(3) A subset of the active cluster nodes that result from a network failure. Members of a partition maintain connectivity with each other.<br />(4) A logical division of storage on a fixed disk.<br />(5) In VSE, a division of the virtual address area that is available for program execution.<br />(6) In BMS, an addressable subset of a display device's internal resources, consisting of a fixed part of the device's screen, and a fixed part of its internal storage. See also presentation space, viewport.<br />(7) In basic N_UP printing, the division of the medium presentation space into a specified number of equal-sized areas in a manner determined by the current physical medium.<br />(8) In activity diagrams, a rectangular, uniquely named grouping that shows activity nodes and edges that have common characteristics. Partitions provide a view of the behaviors in an activity diagram, but do not affect the control flow or object flow.<br />(9) In architecture, a subset of classifiers or packages at the same level of abstraction. A partition represents a vertical slice through an architecture, whereas a layer represents a horizontal slice.
