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) In the Task Center, a unit of work and its associated schedule and task actions. A task can be set to run on a schedule and can perform various actions based on the success or failure of the task. DB2 scripts, operating system scripts, and warehouse steps are all examples of tasks. See also step, task action.<br />(2) A process and the procedures that run the process.<br />(3) A unit of work to be accomplished by a device or process.<br />(4) An activity that has business value, is initiated by a user, and is performed by software.<br />(5) In a Tivoli environment, the definition of an action that must be routinely performed on various managed resources throughout the network. A task defines the executables to be run; the authorization role required to execute the task; and the user or group name under which the task will execute.<br />(6) In CICS, a single instance of the execution of a transaction.<br />(7) A unit of work representing one of the steps in a process.<br />(8) The basic building blocks in the model. Each task performs some function. Visually, a task represents the lowest level of work that can be portrayed in a process.<br />(9) In Tivoli Intelligent Orchestrator, an action that runs a deployment job on one or more target devices. A deployment job can include one or more job items that correspond to workflows.

(1) In the Tivoli common agent services, the service provided by the agent manager to validate and process requests for X.509 certificates from common agents and management applications. It functions as a registration authority.<br />(2) The z/OS system component that enables a resource manager to register itself with the system and identify the exit routines it provides for resource recovery.
Industry:Software
(1) A VSAM data set that is contained within a partitioned table space.<br />(2) A set of table rows that is stored separately from other sets of rows. A data partition is grouped by the specifications that are provided in the PARTITION BY clause of the CREATE TABLE statement. See also database partitioning, table partitioning.
Industry:Software
(1) A unique code or identifier for a register, device, workstation, system, or storage location.<br />(2) The second part of a two-part user identification used to send distributions.
Industry:Software
(1) In APPC, a reference point during transaction processing to which resources can be restored if a failure occurs.<br />(2) In OSI, a point to which a session can be reset. Setting a synchronization point requires the appropriate token. Synchronization points are a session-layer service.<br />(3) A point in time from which IMS or an application program can start over if a failure makes recovery necessary. The two types of synchronization points are system checkpoints done by IMS itself, and application program synchronization points (also known as commit points) done on behalf of individual application programs. See also commit point, system checkpoint.
Industry:Software
(1) In COBOL, a name that is declared in only one program but that may be referred to from that program and from any program contained within that program. Condition names, data names, file names, record names, and some special registers may be global names.<br />(2) In Managed System Services, the name by which an object is known to SNA File Services (SNA/FS). SNA/FS enables objects to be uniquely named in an SNA network with systems of different types.
Industry:Software
(1) In the C, COBOL, and REXX languages, a token that specifies the type of action to be done on one or more terms. The four types of operators are concatenation, arithmetic, comparison, and logical.<br />(2) In an access plan for an SQL or XQuery statement, a token that specifies the type of action that must be performed on data or on the output from a table or an index when the access plan is executed.<br />(3) In Query Patroller, a person who has a subset of administrator authorities, as defined in his or her operator profile. See also profile.<br />(4) An enterprise search user who has the authority to observe, start, and stop collection-level processes.
Industry:Software
(1) In two-phase commit processing, a recovery manager that must wait for confirmation from its coordinator before committing or backing out changes made to recoverable resources by its part of a distributed unit of work. The subordinate can be in doubt in respect to its coordinator. See also coordinator, in-doubt.<br />(2) A system in which a child unit of recovery (UR) of a multisystem cascaded transaction resides.
Industry:Software
(1) In the context of Tivoli software, the model configuration for a system, or set of systems, that is used to maintain consistent configurations in a distributed environment.<br />(2) A model that contains model information from one referenced component. Reference models are kept as separate models and are included by reference into code projects.
Industry:Software
(1) In COBOL, a phrase that specifies the action to be taken on the determination of the truth value of a condition resulting from the running of a conditional statement.<br />(2) In REXX, a phrase in a DO instruction, introduced by the subkeyword WHILE or UNTIL, that is used to change the iteration of a repetitive DO loop.
