(1) A database object that is associated with a single base table or view and that defines a rule. The rule consists of a set of SQL statements that runs when an insert, update, or delete database operation occurs on the associated base table or view. See also before trigger, delete trigger, insert trigger, trigger activation, trigger activation time, trigger granularity, after trigger, instead of trigger, update trigger.<br />(2) In database technology, a program that is automatically called whenever a specified action is performed on a specific table or view. See also read trigger.<br />(3) A mechanism that causes something to begin.<br />(4) Data values for which AFP Conversion and Indexing Facility (ACIF) searches, to delineate the beginning of a new group of pages. The first trigger is then the anchor point from which ACIF locates the defined index values.<br />(5) A monitor that specifies one or more standard programs or built-in actions to be executed whenever a certain ClearCase operation is performed.<br />(6) A condition that signals that a risk factor should be monitored.<br />(7) A mechanism that detects an occurrence and can cause additional processing in response.<br />(8) To initiate or reinitiate copying between a pair of virtual disks (VDisks) that have a copy relationship.
Industry:Software
(1) A program used to communicate with stations in a network, enabling users to perform application-oriented activities.<br />(2) A complete, self-contained program, such as an editor or electronic mail, that performs a specific task for the user, in contrast to system software, such as the operating system kernel, server processes, and program libraries.
Industry:Software
(1) A DBCS character.<br />(2) A visual representation of a character, other than a control character, that is normally produced by writing, printing, or displaying. See also glyph.
Industry:Software
(1) A defined role in WebSphere Commerce that has access to all WebSphere Commerce Accelerator capabilities. See also expected inventory, expected inventory record.<br />(2) The role that supervises the overall store objectives and management, in addition to tracking the store sales. The seller role is equivalent to a merchant.
Industry:Software
(1) A device for processing data from programmed instructions. It may be part of another unit.<br />(2) One or more integrated circuits that process coded instructions and perform a task.<br />(3) In a computer, the part that interprets and executes instructions. Two typical components of a processor are a control unit and an arithmetic logic unit.
Industry:Software
(1) A device or program used to connect networks or systems with different network architectures.<br />(2) An entity that operates above the link layer and converts, when required, the interface and protocol used by one network into those used by another distinct network.<br />(3) Software that provides services between the endpoints and the rest of the Tivoli environment.<br />(4) A component of a Voice over Internet Protocol that provides a bridge between VoIP and circuit-switched environments.<br />(5) A middleware component that bridges Internet and intranet environments during Web service invocations.<br />(6) A ground-based link to a mobile satellite service network.<br />(7) An exit point from Partner Gateway that is used by Partner Gateway to deliver documents to a back-end system or a trading partner.
Industry:Software
(1) A device that converts measurable elements of a physical process into data that is meaningful to a computer.<br />(2) Software that monitors security networks, applications, or systems for security-related information, possibly indicative of suspicious activity.<br />(3) An interface that exposes information about the state and state transitions of a managed resource. A sensor is used to retrieve data from a managed resource, whereas an effector is used to alter data in a managed resource. See also managed resource, effector, externalized data value, manageability interface, touchpoint.<br />(4) A program that reads information from a managed software system to create configuration information.
Industry:Software
(1) A relationship between a set of input data values and a set of result values that is used to extend and customize SQL or XQuery. Functions are invoked from elements of SQL statements such as the select list or the FROM clause and from XQuery as primary expressions. See also aggregate function, built-in function, external function, scalar function, sourced function, table function, user-defined function, SQL function, row function, routine.<br />(2) Any instruction or set of related instructions that perform a specific operation.<br />(3) A named group of statements that can be called and evaluated and can return a value to the calling statement. See also built-in function.<br />(4) In REXX, a series of instructions that a REXX procedure calls to perform a specific task and to return a value. The three types of routines that can be called as functions are internal, built-in, and external.<br />(5) In SQL, an operation that supplies a single value from another value or from a set of values. A function obtains a single value by applying the function name (for example, AVG) to the result of the expression (for example, column-name).<br />(6) A machine action such as carriage return or line feed.<br />(7) In ADSI, an ADSI instruction, or group of instructions.
Industry:Software
(1) A device that coordinates and controls the operation of one or more input/output devices (such as workstations) and synchronizes the operation of such devices with the operation of the system as a whole.<br />(2) Software that administrators use to perform remote control, file transfer, or chat functions.<br />(3) The functional component responsible for resource management (load balancing and admission control). The controller communicates with one or more data pumps to initiate and terminate connections to clients.
Industry:Software
(1) A device that examines text, graphics, or bar code patterns and generates electrical signals corresponding to the pattern. It sends the signals to a computing device for processing.<br />(2) The software used to gather hardware information and software information from systems and devices.
