(1) In the storage industry, a concept in which a pool of storage is created that contains several disc subsystems. Subsystems from various vendors can be used. The pool can be split into virtual discs (VDisks) that are visible to the host systems that use them.<br />(2) A technique that encapsulates the characteristics of resources from the way in which other systems interact with those resources.

(1) A virtual storage area that provides the control, scheduling, and work management mechanisms necessary to coordinate shared resources.<br />(2) The MVS main storage region that contains the IMS control program.

(1) In COBOL, a conceptual entity consisting of the top margin, the page body, and the bottom margin.<br />(2) The defined presentation space on the physical form. All the text and images in the print data must fit within the boundaries of the logical page, which has specified characteristics, such as size, shape, orientation, and offset.<br />(3) In the IMS message format service, a user-defined group of related message segment and field definitions. See also physical page.

(1) In the Task Center, a unit of work and its associated schedule and task actions. A task can be set to run on a schedule and can perform various actions based on the success or failure of the task. DB2 scripts, operating system scripts, and warehouse steps are all examples of tasks. See also step, task action.<br />(2) A process and the procedures that run the process.<br />(3) A unit of work to be accomplished by a device or process.<br />(4) An activity that has business value, is initiated by a user, and is performed by software.<br />(5) In a Tivoli environment, the definition of an action that must be routinely performed on various managed resources throughout the network. A task defines the executables to be run; the authorization role required to execute the task; and the user or group name under which the task will execute.<br />(6) In CICS, a single instance of the execution of a transaction.<br />(7) A unit of work representing one of the steps in a process.<br />(8) The basic building blocks in the model. Each task performs some function. Visually, a task represents the lowest level of work that can be portrayed in a process.<br />(9) In Tivoli Intelligent Orchestrator, an action that runs a deployment job on one or more target devices. A deployment job can include one or more job items that correspond to workflows.

(1) A visual presentation of data.<br />(2) To present data visually.<br />(3) To direct the output to the user's terminal. If the output is not directed to the terminal, the results are undefined.

(1) In COBOL, a device-dependent concept defined by the action taken by a printer when a new page is requested.<br />(2) In MFS, all or part of a logical page that is defined to be entered (input) or displayed (output) at one time. See also logical page.<br />(3) In printing, a single surface (front or back) of a form.

(1) In the Tivoli common agent services, the service provided by the agent manager to validate and process requests for X.509 certificates from common agents and management applications. It functions as a registration authority.<br />(2) The z/OS system component that enables a resource manager to register itself with the system and identify the exit routines it provides for resource recovery.
Industry:Software
(1) A VSAM data set that contains name and status information for DB2 for z/OS and relative-byte address-range specifications for all active and archive log data sets. It also contains passwords for the DB2 for z/OS directory and catalogue and lists of conditional restart and checkpoint records.<br />(2) A VSAM data set that contains an inventory of all active and archived log data sets known to WebSphere MQ for z/OS, and a wrap-around inventory of all recent WebSphere MQ for z/OS activity. The BSDS is required to restart the WebSphere MQ for z/OS subsystem.
Industry:Software
(1) In COBOL, a key field whose contents identify a record within an indexed file.<br />(2) In RPG, all the key fields defined for the record type.
Industry:Software
(1) In Tivoli NetView, a particular view of some aspect of a network that displays symbols that represent objects. The application programme that creates a submap determines what part of the network the submap displays.<br />(2) A map that is called from within another map.
