(1) In CICS Transaction Server, CICS statistics written to an SMF data set at the quiesce or termination of a CICS run, or at a user-specified time. See also interval statistics, unsolicited statistics.<br />(2) In CICS/VSE, CICS statistics written to the CSSL transient data destination at the quiesce or termination of a CICS run, or at a user-specified time. End-of-day statistics are reset by an end-of-day statistics collection.
Industry:Software
(1) In the original programme model (OPM), a set of instructions in machine-readable form. The object programme is produced by a compiler from a source program. In the Integrated Language Environment (ILE) model, an object programme is the result of binding modules together.<br />(2) A fully compiled or assembled programme that is ready to be loaded into the computer. An object programme consists of object modules.
Industry:Software
(1) A variable that represents an internal structure within a software system.<br />(2) A character string that is created by an extender that is used to represent an image, an audio, or a video object in a table. A handle is stored for an object in a user table and in administrative support tables. In this way, an extender can link the handle that is stored in a user table with information about the object that is stored in the administrative support tables.<br />(3) In application programming interfaces, a variable that represents an object, an instance of an application using some function, or a processing session.<br />(4) In WebSphere MQ, the identifier or token by which a programme accesses an MQM object.<br />(5) In the AIX operating system, a data structure that is a temporary local identifier for an object. Allocating a handle creates it. Binding a handle makes it identify an object at a specific location.<br />(6) A character string that represents an object, and is used to retrieve the object.<br />(7) In the Java EE specification, an object that identifies an enterprise bean. A client may serialise the handle, and then later deserialize it to obtain a reference to the enterprise bean. (Sun)<br />(8) In DB2 ODBC, a variable that refers to a data structure and associated resources.
Industry:Software
(1) In the OSI Communications Subsystem licenced program, a change in the status of an application entity or association--for example, an application entity changing from activated to deactivated.<br />(2) In the OSI Communications Subsystem licenced program, an event that indicates that a resource--such as a line--has had a change in status. State change events are logged and generate a message to the operator.
Industry:Software
(1) A variable used to pass information, such as a file name, for use in a message.<br />(2) In pseudo-JCL, a symbol that is used in a build script and that receives a value from a build server default, from the build script itself, or from a symbolic parameter.<br />(3) A variable in a procedure or query whose value is specified either by a global variable or by a runtime variable.<br />(4) A variable in a form whose value is specified by a global variable.
Industry:Software
(1) In CICS, a method of optimising the use of system resources by spreading workload as evenly as possible between different regions.<br />(2) The optimization of the distribution of incoming work requests to the application servers, enterprise beans, servlets and other objects that can effectively process the request.
Industry:Software
(1) In the OSI Communications Subsystem licenced program, a node that is the final recipient of data sent by the local node and the origin of data sent to the local node. A destination node may or may not be an adjacent node.<br />(2) The node to which a request or data is sent.
Industry:Software
(1) A view that provides a hierarchical view of an object and the objects that it contains.<br />(2) See traceability tree.
Industry:Software
(1) In CICS, an index based on an alternate key. It allows the file to be processed in a secondary key order.<br />(2) For VSAM key-sequenced data sets and entry-sequenced data sets, an index of alternate keys that provides a path for secondary access to the data set. If the records have alternate keys, the alternate index is built when the data set is created. See also secondary index.<br />(3) A subordinate index in a hierarchy of indexes.<br />(4) In z/OS Virtual Storage Access Method (VSAM), a collection of index entries related to a given base cluster and organised by a key other than the prime key of the associated, base-cluster, data records. An alternate index provides an alternate directory for locating records in the data component of a base cluster.
Industry:Software
(1) In the OSI reference model, a layer that provides services to the next higher layer.<br />(2) In System Manager, the system used to provide problem-handling support to another system or systems connected to it by communications lines. The service provider can also be the alert focal point in a network. See also service requester.<br />(3) Any company that provides services for a fee to its customers, such as telecommunication companies, application service providers, enterprise IT, and Internet service providers.<br />(4) A company or programme that provides a business function as a service. The service provider receives messages from a service requester and runs the requested service. The service provider might also send messages in reply to the request.
