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 special file that can contain information about the files packaged in a JAR file. (Sun)<br />(2) A text file that specifies the properties of a diagnostic guide or a tool.<br />(3) A shipment confirmation that may contain tracking identification information.
Industry:Software
(1) A keystroke generally indicating the end of a command line.<br />(2) The movement of the printing position or display position to the first position on the same line.
Industry:Software
(1) A special purpose, dedicated computer that attaches two or more networks.<br />(2) A part of the System i Access licensed programs that handle requests to send and receive data from applications on the personal computer and routes them to the appropriate applications on the system.<br />(3) A computer that determines the path of network traffic flow. The path selection is made from several paths based on information obtained from specific protocols, algorithms that attempt to identify the shortest or best path, and other criteria such as metrics or protocol-specific destination addresses.<br />(4) An attaching device that connects two LAN segments at the reference-model network layer. The LAN segments can use similar or different architectures.<br />(5) An MVS program that presents a common systems interface for all products providing resource control. Resource managing components (such as CICS) call the MVS router as part of certain decision-making functions in their processing.
Industry:Software
(1) A kind of IMS data sharing that allows multiple subsystem access to the same database, controlled by means of a lock manager. Sharing is at the physical-block level for ISAM or OSAM databases and at the control-interval level for VSAM databases.<br />(2) A method of sharing data among IMSs so that multiple application programs can access and update data concurrently between multiple IMSs.
Industry:Software
(1) A special-purpose buffer storage, smaller and faster than main storage, used to hold a copy of instructions and data obtained from main storage and likely to be needed next by the processor.<br />(2) A buffer that contains frequently accessed instructions and data; it is used to reduce access time.<br />(3) Memory used to improve access times to instructions, data, or both. Data that resides in cache memory is normally a copy of data that resides elsewhere in slower, less expensive storage, such as on a disk or on another network node.<br />(4) To place, hide, or store frequently used information locally for quick retrieval.
Industry:Software
(1) A language element that specifies an unchanging value. Constants are classified as string constants or numeric constants.<br />(2) Data that has an unchanging, predefined value to be used in processing.
Industry:Software
(1) A specific algorithm or operation (such as a queueing discipline) that is implemented in a node to realize a set of one or more per-hop behaviors.<br />(2) A pattern that provides a common solution to a common problem in a given context.
Industry:Software
(1) A language for performing TSO tasks.<br />(2) A list of commands and statements designed to perform a specific function for the user.
Industry:Software
(1) A specific instance of a configuration of hardware and software established for the purpose of installing and running the developed software for its intended use. See also test environment.<br />(2) A collection of configured clusters, servers, and middleware that collaborate to provide an environment to host software modules. For example, a deployment environment might include a host for message destinations, a processor or sorter of business events, and administrative programs.
Industry:Software
(1) A level of classification of information as defined by the X.400 Standard. Mail items can be assigned a sensitivity of none, personal, private, or confidential.<br />(2) An IMS capability that ensures that only data segments or fields predefined as "sensitive" are available for use in a particular application. The sensitivity concept also provides a degree of control over data security, inasmuch as users can be prevented from accessing particular segments or fields by omission of those segments or fields from the logical database. Sensitivity is implemented through the DB PCB.<br />(3) The amount of time by which a threshold-based health indicator must exceed its threshold or the amount of time that a state-based health indicator must be in a non-normal state before an alert is generated.
