(1) A coordinated commitment control process between communicating transactions that ensures that all logically-related updates to recoverable resources are completed or that all are backed out.<br />(2) The cross-site mirroring (XSM) processing that copies data from the production copy to the mirror copy.<br />(3) In Unified modelling Language (UML), the visual representation of the forks and joins representing parallel workflows. Synchronizations enable you to see a simultaneous workflow in an activity diagram or state chart diagram.<br />(4) The process by which a satellite downloads and runs the same DB2 database commands, operating system commands, and SQL statements from the satellite control server as the other members of its group download and then reports the results to the satellite control server.

(1) A private volume that contains data that is available for write processing.<br />(2) The first volume assigned to the system storage pool that stores the most critical system metadata.
Industry:Software
(1) A copy of a data entity (a logical volume {LVOL}), for example) that contains the contents of the entire data entity at an instant in time.<br />(2) In a remote copy relationship, a copy of a secondary virtual disc (VDisk) that is identical to the primary VDisk from the viewpoint of a host system, even if a power failure occurred while I/O activity was in progress.
Industry:Software
(1) A privilege that accompanies the ownership of an object, such as the privilege to drop that object. Different authority levels and database authorities can also provide implicit privileges on one or more objects. See also explicit privilege.<br />(2) A privilege on one or more data objects that are referenced by a package. During package execution, the user ID running the package inherits within certain boundaries the privileges of the user ID that bound the package. See also authority level.
Industry:Software
(1) A coupling facility structure that lets data be shared and manipulated as elements of a queue.<br />(2) A coupling facility structure that enables multisystem applications in a sysplex to share information organised as a set of lists or queues. A list structure consists of a set of lists and an optional lock table, which can be used for serialising resources in the list structure. Each list consists of a queue of list entries.
Industry:Software
(1) A procedure that is not contained within a block. <br />(2) A procedure that has its procedural logic implemented in an external programming language application. The association of the procedure with the external application is specified by a CREATE PROCEDURE statement with a LANGUAGE clause that has a value other than SQL and an EXTERNAL clause that implicitly or explicitly specifies the name of the external application.
Industry:Software
(1) A customer request for a price quotation on alterations or additions to the functional capabilities of system control programming or licenced programs. The PRPQ may be used in conjunction with computing system RPQs to solve unique data processing problems. See also computing system RPQ.<br />(2) A customer request for a price quotation for a licenced programme to be designed especially for a particular group of customers or an application. Documentation for the programme is provided only to those customers who order the PRPQ. See also request for price quotation.
Industry:Software
(1) A process by which VTAM automatically creates a session-initiation request to establish a session between two logical units (LUs). The session is between a designated primary logical unit (PLU) and a secondary logical unit (SLU) that is neither queued for nor in session with another PLU.<br />(2) In VM, a process by which a virtual machine is initiated by other than the user of that virtual machine; for example, the primary VM operator's virtual machine is activated automatically during VM initialization.<br />(3) The option of IMS to automatically create a VTAM session for a non-signed-on user to whom output has been made available.
Industry:Software
(1) A customer who is registered with a store. To register, a customer provides personal information to the WebSphere Commerce system, such as an e-mail address.<br />(2) In WebSphere Commerce, a defined role that allows the reseller to shop in the marketplace. Resellers must first register in the marketplace and be approved by the seller administrator in order to attain the registered customer role.
Industry:Software
(1) A process in which an application server or any product that interacts with a database on behalf of applications establishes a finite set of connexions to the database and maps requests from the applications to this set of connections. Using these connexions reduces the overall connexion time for these applications and removes the cost of establishing a database connexion from the host.<br />(2) A technique used for establishing a pool of resource connexions that applications can share on an application server.
