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 control character that follows a write command in the 3270 data stream and provides control information for executing display and printer functions.<br />(2) A character used with a write-tye command to specify that a particular operation, or combination of operations, is to be performed at a display station or printer.
Industry:Software
(1) A policy decision that is applied initially to QoS reservation requests for controlling the admission of network traffic into the network. Admission control is the process of ensuring that the load on the network links is manageable.<br />(2) The process used by the server to ensure that its bandwidth needs are not compromised by new asset requests.
Industry:Software
(1) A control programme that permits functions written for one system or device to be run on another system or device.<br />(2) A programme that allows a host system to communicate with a workstation in the same way as it would with the emulated terminal.
Industry:Software
(1) A portion of a page set. Each partition corresponds to a single, independently extendable data set. Partitions can be extended to a maximum size of 1, 2, or 4 gigabytes, depending on the number of partitions in the partitioned page set. All partitions of a given page set have the same maximum size.<br />(2) On a personal computer hard disk, one of four possible storage areas of variable size; one may be accessed by DOS and each of the others may be assigned to another operating system.<br />(3) A subset of the active cluster nodes that result from a network failure. Members of a partition maintain connectivity with each other.<br />(4) A logical division of storage on a fixed disk.<br />(5) In VSE, a division of the virtual address area that is available for programme execution.<br />(6) In BMS, an addressable subset of a display device's internal resources, consisting of a fixed part of the device's screen, and a fixed part of its internal storage. See also presentation space, viewport.<br />(7) In basic N_UP printing, the division of the medium presentation space into a specified number of equal-sized areas in a manner determined by the current physical medium.<br />(8) In activity diagrams, a rectangular, uniquely named grouping that shows activity nodes and edges that have common characteristics. Partitions provide a view of the behaviours in an activity diagram, but do not affect the control flow or object flow.<br />(9) In architecture, a subset of classifiers or packages at the same level of abstraction. A partition represents a vertical slice through an architecture, whereas a layer represents a horizontal slice.
Industry:Software
(1) A control section used to reserve a virtual storage area to which other modules can refer.<br />(2) In a Web page that is based on a page template, the fixed region of the page.
Industry:Software
(1) A positive or negative whole number, or zero.<br />(2) In DB2 for i5/OS, a data type indicating that the data is a binary number with a precision of 31 bits.<br />(3) In COBOL, a numeric constant or a numeric data item that does not include any digit position to the right of the assumed decimal point.
Industry:Software
(1) A controller description that emulates the function of a physical controller for communication with a remote device. As an example, when a PC is attached to a system, a virtual controller must be created to allow the PC to communicate with the system.<br />(2) A controller description that is used by Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking (APPN) and high-performance routing (HPR) support to attach and manage APPN device descriptions. This type of controller does not represent a connexion to a remote station.
Industry:Software
(1) A predetermined value, attribute, or option that is assumed when no other value is specified. A default value can be defined for column data in DB2 tables by specifying the DEFAULT keyword in an SQL statement that changes data (such as INSERT, UPDATE, and MERGE).<br />(2) A value that is automatically assigned.
Industry:Software
(1) A control-structure database object produced during programme preparation that can contain both executable forms of static SQL statements or XQuery expressions and placement holders for executable forms of dynamic SQL statements.<br />(2) A function that allows an application programmer to collect all the parts of an application together for distribution.<br />(3) In Java programming, a group of types. Packages are declared with the package keyword. (Sun)<br />(4) An installable unit of a software product. Software product packages are separately installable units that can operate independently from other packages of that software product.<br />(5) A collection of catalogue entries that has a SKU and may be ordered as a single item. See also bundle, stock keeping unit.<br />(6) A shipping unit that may be tracked by a shipping carrier.<br />(7) A collection of related classes and interfaces that provides access protection and namespace management.<br />(8) A container that organises artefacts into groups.<br />(9) The wrapper around the document content that defines the format used to transmit a document over the Internet, for example, RNIF, AS1, and AS2.
Industry:Software
(1) A primary key or unique key that is used in a referential constraint. The values of a parent key determine the valid values of the foreign key in the constraint.<br />(2) A field or set of fields in a database file that must be unique, ascending, and may or may not contain null values. The parent key may be the same as the primary or unique key.
