(1) In SNA, the combination of the transmission connection, protocol, devices, and programming joining network nodes.<br />(2) A part of Recommendation X.25 that defines the link protocol used to get data into and out of the network across the duplex line connecting the subscriber's equipment to the network.
Industry:Software
(1) In a federated system, an identifier that is used in a distributed request to refer to an object at a remote data source. The objects that nicknames identify are referred to as data source objects. Examples of data source objects are tables, views, synonyms, table-structured files, and search algorithms. See also data source object.<br />(2) In the OSI Communications Subsystem licensed program, a 1- to 8-character name that identifies an object or entity in an OSI network.

(1) A system that runs application programs independently of another system. The exchange of data files or applications with another system is done manually, through portable media, such as diskette or tape.<br />(2) A DirectTalk system that is not part of a single system image (SSI). A stand-alone system is not connected to other DirectTalk systems, so it contains its own application and voice data.
Industry:Software
(1) In SNA, two or more concurrently active sessions between the same two logical units. Each session can have different session parameters.<br />(2) Two or more concurrently active sessions between the same two network addressable units using different pairs of network addresses or local-form session identifiers. Each session can have independent session parameters.<br />(3) A single intersystem link that can carry multiple independent sessions. Parallel sessions are supported by CICS intersystem communication (ISC).
