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 MVS, a variable-size subdivision of virtual storage that is allocated to a job step or system task. CICS Transaction Server runs in an MVS/ESA region, usually referred to as the CICS region.<br />(2) A physical instance of a CICS server.<br />(3) A contiguous area of virtual storage that has common characteristics and that can be shared between processes.
Industry:Software
(1) An object that contains specifications, such as priority, maximum processing time, and maximum storage, to control the run-time environment of a job. The system-recognized identifier for the object type is *CLS.<br />(2) In the Distributed Computing Environment (DCE), a category into which objects are placed based on their purpose and internal structure.<br />(3) In object-oriented design or programming, a model or template that can be used to create objects with a common definition and common properties, operations, and behavior. An object is an instance of a class.<br />(4) In C++, a user-defined data type. A class data type can contain both data representations (data members) and functions (member functions).<br />(5) In RACF, a collection of defined entities (users, groups, and resources) with similar characteristics.<br />(6) An attribute that is related to a transaction code and a message region that is used to determine scheduling. See also message class, region class.<br />(7) A description of a set of objects that share the same attributes, operations, methods, relationships, and semantics. A class may use a set of interfaces to specify collections of operations that it provides to its environment. See also interface, object.<br />(8) The definition of an object within a specific hierarchy. A class can have properties and methods and can serve as the target of an association.<br />(9) A section of a module. A class can represent program text, that is, the instructions and data that are loaded into virtual storage during execution. Other classes, such as an external symbol dictionary (ESD) and a relocation dictionary (RLD), are required for binding and loading the program.
Industry:Software
(1) In object-oriented programming, an operation that an object can perform. An object can have many methods. See also operation.<br />(2) In object-oriented design or programming, the software that implements the behavior specified by an operation.<br />(3) See member function.<br />(4) In Java programming, a function that is defined in a class. (Sun)<br />(5) A database object that encapsulates procedural logic to provide behavior for a structured type. A method can be implemented as an SQL method or an external method. See also structured type, external method, SQL method, routine.<br />(6) A way to implement a function on a class.
Industry:Software
(1) In object-oriented programming, pertaining to a class member that is accessible to all classes.<br />(2) In the Java programming language, pertains to a method or variable that can be accessed by elements residing in other classes. (Sun)
Industry:Software
(1) An operation such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, or exponentiation that is performed only on numeric fields.<br />(2) In COBOL, the process caused by the running of an arithmetic statement or the evaluation of an arithmetic expression that results in a mathematically correct solution to the arguments presented.
Industry:Software
(1) In OSI, a logical unit of work into which peer application entities can separate the data that they exchange.<br />(2) In System Manager, a change management operation initiated by the central site, for example, sending an object, deleting a file, and installing a PTF. An activity is a single stop within a change request.<br />(3) An operation in an activity plan that is performed on a set of targets on a specific schedule and that can depend upon the execution of other activities.<br />(4) A unit of work or a building block that performs a specific, discrete programmatic task.<br />(5) In BTS, one part of a process managed by CICS business transaction services. Typically, an activity is part of a business transaction. A program that implements an activity differs from a traditional CICS application program only in its being designed to respond to BTS events.<br />(6) An item within a course outline that contains some tasks for the student to complete, such as taking a test or attending a live session in the LearningSpace -- Virtual Classroom.<br />(7) A set of steps that perform a portion of a scenario. See also action, activity diagram, scenario.<br />(8) An object that tracks the work required to complete a development task. An activity includes a text headline, which describes the task, and a change set, which identifies all versions that developers create or modify while working on the activity.<br />(9) A unit of work that an individual or group performs.
Industry:Software
(1) An optional facility that allows an application program to accumulate information acquired through multiple interchanges with a terminal, even though the program terminates between interchanges. Conversation information for the active and held conversations is significant status that can optionally be kept in the RM if a status recovery mode of GLOBAL is selected. See also conversation.<br />(2) An optional IMS facility that allows a user's application program to accumulate information acquired through multiple interchanges with a terminal, even though the program terminates between interchanges. In the context of IMS Connector for Java, the interchanges are between a Java client program and a user's application program. See also IMS conversation.
Industry:Software
Una rappresentazione interna di un DB2 per z/OS database di definizione, che riflette la definizione di dati nel DB2 per catalogo z/OS. Gli oggetti definiti in un descrittore di database sono spazi tabella, tabelle, indici, spazi di indice, relazioni, vincoli check e trigger. Un DBD contiene anche informazioni su come accedere a tabelle nel database.
Industry:Software
(1) In OSI, a service primitive issued by a service user to call a function supported by the service provider.<br />(2) The part of a Web address that follows the protocol and server host name. For example, in the address http://www.server.com/rfoul/sched.htm, the request is /rfoul/sched.html.<br />(3) In a request/response interaction, the role performed by a business object that instructs a connector to interact with an application or other programmatic entity.<br />(4) An item that initiates a workflow and the various activities of a workflow.
Industry:Software
(1) An OSI Communications Subsystem file that contains a set of commands that activate OSI Communications Subsystem resources each time OSI Communications Subsystem is started.<br />(2) For DB2 ODBC applications, a file containing values that can be set to adjust the performance of the database manager.
