(1) A level set in the system at which a message is sent or an error-handling program is called. For example, in a user auxiliary storage pool, the user can set the threshold level in the system values, and the system notifies the system operator when that level is reached.<br />(2) In OSI, a user-specified value that determines the frequency with which events will be reported. For example, if a certain error threshold is set at 10, the error will not be reported until the tenth occurrence of the error.<br />(3) A customizable value for defining the acceptable tolerance limits (maximum, minimum, or reference limit) for an application resource or system resource. When the measured value of the resource is greater than the maximum value, less than the minimum value, or equal to the reference value, an exception or event is raised. See also performance threshold.<br />(4) A setting that applies to an interrupt in a simulation that defines when a process simulation should be halted based on a condition existing for a specified proportion of occurrences of some event.<br />(5) A storage group attribute that controls the space usage on direct access storage device (DASD) volumes, which is defined as a percentage of occupied tracks versus total tracks.<br />(6) A user-defined entity that establishes a condition or boundary that, if exceeded, causes the data server to take a prescribed set of actions. See also workload definition.
Industry:Software
(1) A line of a source statement where characters are entered when the source statement cannot be contained on the previous line or lines.<br />(2) An additional line (or lines) required to continue the coding of a CL command or a DDS keyword and its value.<br />(3) In RLU, a report line or sample line that is part of a record format or a group of sample lines excluding the first line in the record format or group of sample lines.<br />(4) In RPG, additional lines specified on the file description specifications to provide more information about the file being defined.
Industry:Software
(1) A link along which signals can be sent, such as the channel that handles the transfer of data between processor storage and local peripheral equipment. See also trunk.<br />(2) A specialized Web application within a portal to which a user can subscribe.<br />(3) An entry point to the Web services gateway that carries requests and responses between Web services and the gateway.<br />(4) The means of distribution of a company's products. Examples are e-commerce and physical stores.<br />(5) In mainframe computing, the part of a channel subsystem that manages a single I/O interface between a channel subsystem and a set of control units.<br />(6) A mode by which a business service is consumed by a subscriber.<br />(7) A communication path through a chain to an endpoint.
Industry:Software
(1) A list of requests to either add or remove a document to or from text search services.<br />(2) A list of requests for main and delta index builds to be processed.
Industry:Software
(1) A list of system distribution directory entries, which allows users to send messages, notes, and documents to a group of users in one step.<br />(2) In voice mail, a list of subscribers to whom the same message can be sent.<br />(3) A list of queues to which a message can be put using a single MQPUT or MQPUT1 statement.
Industry:Software
(1) A list on which messages are placed when they are sent to a user ID or device description. The system-recognized identifier for the object type is *MSGQ.<br />(2) In interprocess communications, a mechanism that allows a process to communicate with other processes by sending messages to a process, receiving messages from a process, or performing control operations on a process.<br />(3) A set of messages that are waiting to be processed by a program or to be sent to a terminal, display, or workstation.<br />(4) A named destination to which messages can be sent until they are retrieved by programs that service the queue.
Industry:Software
(1) A list used to organize objects according to a user's tasks. When a user closes a work area, all windows opened from objects contained in the work area are removed from the workplace.<br />(2) That portion of central storage that is used by a computer program to hold data temporarily.
Industry:Software
(1) A local or remote relational or nonrelational data manager that is capable of supporting data access using an ODBC driver that supports the ODBC APIs.<br />(2) In a federated system, typically a relational database management system (RDBMS) instance and one or more databases that are supported by that instance. A federated system can include other types of data sources, such as flat-file databases and table-structured files.<br />(3) A DB2 subsystem that is assigned by XCF services to a data sharing group.
Industry:Software
(1) A lock that limits concurrently running application processes to read-only operations on database data. See also exclusive lock, gross lock.<br />(2) A lock that several tasks can hold.
Industry:Software
(1) A lock that prevents the concurrent use of resources within a single subsystem of DB2 for z/OS.<br />(2) An IRLM lock that interests the IRLM that grants it only.
