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-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 disc 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 realise 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.
Industry:Software
(1) A level set in the system at which a message is sent or an error-handling programme 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 specialised 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.
