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 defined connexion between the rows of a table or the rows of two tables. A relationship is the internal representation of a referential constraint.<br />(2) An association between two or more data entities in the WebSphere business integration system. Most often, these entities are business objects. Relationships are used to transform data that is equivalent across business objects but is represented differently.<br />(3) A semantic connexion among model elements. Examples of relationships include associations and generalizations.<br />(4) An association between two components that enables management applications to perform or assist in operations, such as problem determination, based on an understanding of that association. Types of relationships include the federates relationship, has components relationship, hosts relationship, supersedes relationship, and uses relationship.<br />(5) Pertinent to remote copy and Peer-to-Peer Remote Copy, the association between a master virtual disc (VDisk) and an auxiliary VDisk. These VDisks also have the attributes of a primary or secondary VDisk. See also auxiliary virtual disk, secondary virtual disk, master virtual disk, primary virtual disk.
Industry:Software
(1) A query issued from Information Integrator for Content that simultaneously searches for data in one or more content servers, which can be heterogeneous. See also federated collection.<br />(2) A search capability that enables searches across multiple search services and returns a consolidated list of search results.
Industry:Software
(1) A defined data stream used to store raster image data. The images in a Mixed Object:Document Content Architecture document are stored using IOCA.<br />(2) An architecture that provides a collection of constructs used to interchange and present images, such as printing image data on a page, page segment, or overlay.
Industry:Software
(1) A random, unique text string that is encrypted along with data and then is used to detect attacks against the system that sends the encrypted data. A nonce is used especially for authentication and ensures that encrypted data is different each time that it is encrypted.<br />(2) A unique cryptographic number that is embedded in a message to help detect a replay attack.
Industry:Software
(1) A defined role in WebSphere Commerce that has access to all WebSphere Commerce Accelerator capabilities. See also expected inventory, expected inventory record.<br />(2) The role that supervises the overall store objectives and management, in addition to tracking the store sales. The seller role is equivalent to a merchant.
Industry:Software
(1) A real number represented by a pair of distinct numerals. The real number is the product of the fractional part, one of the numerals, and a value obtained by raising the implicit floating-point base to a power indicated by the second numeral.<br />(2) Either a 32-bit or 64-bit approximate representation of a real number. In IBM SQL, floating-point numbers do not include decimal floating-point numbers. See also double-precision floating-point number, single-precision floating point number, decimal floating-point number.
Industry:Software
(1) A defined set of characters with no coded representation assumed that can be recognised by a configured hardware or software system. A character set may be defined by alphabet, language, script, or any combination of these items.<br />(2) A set of binary codes that represent specific text characters.
Industry:Software
(1) A record having a length independent of the length of other records with which it is logically or physically associated. See also fixed-length record.<br />(2) In distributed data management (DDM) and Distributed FileManager (DFM), a record whose length can be changed after it has been written to a file. Variable-length records are normally used in reference to count-key-data (CKD) and extended count key data (ECKD) formats. See also fixed-length record.
Industry:Software
(1) A defined task that an application performs on an object as a result of an event.<br />(2) An access control list (ACL) permission attribute.<br />(3) A single step that specifies a unit of work in a collaboration business process. See also action node, activity, code fragment, collaboration template.<br />(4) The specification of an executable statement that forms an abstraction of a computational procedure. An action typically results in a change in the state of the system, and can be realised by sending a message to an object or modifying a link or a value of an attribute.<br />(5) In a policy-enabled system, a type of unsolicited decision that specifies the operation or set of operations to run when a policy is evaluated, selected, and executed. In Policy Management for Autonomic Computing, only a single operation is supported.<br />(6) An instruction in an artefact that defines a change management operation that needs to be performed in a hosting environment.<br />(7) A series of processing steps, such as document validation and transformation.<br />(8) In a business rule, the event that results from the evaluation of the condition.<br />(9) An activity that is run on a transition.
Industry:Software
(1) A record of the current state of the database environment.<br />(2) In Tivoli NetView, a copy of a map that reflects the topology and status of the map's nodes and links at a given moment in time.<br />(3) A copy of changed data in the active files and directories of a file system with the exception of the inode number, which is changed to allow application programmes to distinguish between the snapshot and the active files and directories.
