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 small piece of plastic-covered metal that is used to connect two contacts and complete a circuit.<br />(2) A connector between two pins on a network adapter that enables or disables an adapter option, feature, or parameter value.
Industry:Software
(1) A hierarchical arrangement of organisational units, such that each user is included once and only once.<br />(2) An entity where people cooperate to accomplish specified objectives, such as an enterprise, a company, or a factory.
Industry:Software
(1) A software development model that provides for consistent packaging of software components; the ability to upgrade part of a system as it is executing; the ability to control, monitor, and deploy software across global networks; and the ability to locate and implement services on a global scale. When developed according to the component model, components have interfaces that are rigorously implemented, are packaged into JAR files, and have dynamic execution environments.<br />(2) An architecture and an API that allows developers to define reusable segments of code that can be combined to create a program.
Industry:Software
(1) A hierarchical collection of nodes that can have an arbitrary number of references to other nodes. A unique path connects every two nodes.<br />(2) A data structure whose elements are linked in a hierarchical fashion.
Industry:Software
(1) A software mechanism that the ESS uses to request that an operating system of a zSeries or S/390 host verify that one or more subsystem resources can be taken offline for service. The ESS can use this process to automatically vary channel paths offline and online to facilitate bay service or concurrent code installation. Depending on the operating system, support for this process might be model-dependent, might depend on the IBM TotalStorage Enterprise Storage Server Subsystem Device Driver, or might not exist.<br />(2) An automation of the process used by service representatives to vary off and vary on subsystem resources for maintenance.
Industry:Software
(1) A hierarchical sequence of numbers that uniquely identifies an object.<br />(2) An identifier, which is usually a string of integers, that uniquely identifies a particular object within a distributed system.<br />(3) An ISO-defined format for identifying elements within an OSI network. An object ID consists of a string of integers. The integers in the string can identify a particular standards body, an enterprise, or the type or value of an object. An object ID is intended to be a universal identifier of an object. Examples of values that are specified in object ID format are abstract syntaxes, application context names, and application process titles.<br />(4) The unique 4-byte value or identifier that is assigned to a data model device. Object IDs can be used in SOAP commands, for quick searching in the data model or debugging.
Industry:Software
(1) A software programme or a computer that provides services to other software programmes or other computers. <br />(2) In WebSphere MQ, a queue manager that provides queue services to client applications running on a remote workstation.<br />(3) A definition that identifies where an application will be tested or published.<br />(4) The target of a request from a remote requester. In a DB2 database system, the server function is provided by the distributed data facility, which is used to access a DB2 database from remote applications.
Industry:Software
(1) A Java Client Application using a Gateway network protocol to connect to the Gateway daemon. See also local mode.<br />(2) A J2EE resource adapter that has been configured with a ConnectionURL starting tcp://, http://, or ssl://. Such resource adapters communicate with the Gateway daemon.
Industry:Software
(1) A software programme or computer that requests services from a server. <br />(2) A runtime component that provides access to queuing services on a server for local user applications. The queues used by the applications reside on the server.<br />(3) A classifier that requests a service from another classifier.
Industry:Software
(1) A job function that identifies the tasks that a user can perform and the resources to which a user has access. A user can be assigned one or more roles.<br />(2) A position or responsibility within an organization, such as order entry clerk, marketing manager, travel advisor, sales associate, and so on. Activities are often assigned to roles rather than to individuals.<br />(3) A defined set of permissions that can be assigned to database objects such as fields, forms, and views to simplify their maintenance.<br />(4) A set of permissions.<br />(5) A logical group of principals that provides a set of permissions. Access to operations is controlled by granting access to a role.<br />(6) The behaviour and characteristics that a given model element, classifier or other element can adopt for a given period of time.<br />(7) A description of a function to be carried out by an individual or bulk resource, and the qualifications required to fulfil the function. In simulation and analysis, the term role is also used to refer to the qualified resources.<br />(8) A definition of the behaviour and responsibilities of an individual or a team within the context of a software engineering organization.<br />(9) A database entity that groups together one or more privileges and that can be assigned, for example, to users, PUBLIC, other roles, or trusted contexts.
