In the OSI Communications Subsystem licenced program, a user-specified group of one or more lines used to establish network connections. When sending an outbound connexion request, OSI Communications Subsystem selects a line from a line set. The line characteristics--such as line speed--of each line in a given line set should be similar.
Industry:Software
In XRF, a takeover initiated by the alternate CICS system when there was not an actual failure on the active CICS system. This might be due to an unusual system condition which, although not a true failure, slowed down the active system's participation in the surveillance process to the point where the alternate system believed that a failure on the active system had occurred.
Industry:Software
Pertaining to a task that is scheduled to update a physical segment of a database when another task is currently accessing that segment.
Industry:Software
In the OSI Communications Subsystem licenced program, the machine-readable form of an abstract syntax. The metatable is generated by the Abstract Syntax Checker and used by the OSI Communications Subsystem presentation layer to encode and decode data being exchanged.
Industry:Software
In XRF, the elapsed time between the occurrence of a failure, the completion of switching all terminals to the alternate CICS system, and the running of the first user transaction.
Industry:Software
Pertaining to a transaction in which only the application changing the data knows about the individual update requests until the transaction is complete.
Industry:Software
In the OSI Communications Subsystem licenced program, the node from which one views the rest of the OSI network--the node for which resources are defined. See also remote node.
Industry:Software
In XRF, the name by which the active-alternate pair of CICS systems is known to the end user. In VTAM terms, this is the USERVAR. The generic name is also used in intersystem communication. See also specific applid.
Industry:Software
Pertaining to a transaction that ensures that data is persistent, both before and after the transaction, regardless of success or failure.
