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) In hardware, a functional unit that converts small electronic signals to signals that control a device.<br />(2) The object handling a stimulus passed from a sender object. See also sender, receive.<br />(3) A defined role in WebSphere Commerce that receives inventory at the fulfilment center, tracks expected inventory records and ad hoc receipts for ordered products, and receives returned products as a result of customer returns. See also logistics manager.<br />(4) A component that accepts documents from external partners and from back end applications and stores them in a file system for the Document Manager to process. Specifically, it receives a document over a supported transport protocol, writes the document and metadata relating to the document to the shared file system, records any transport-specific data to the metadata file, and completes any transport-specific technical acknowledgment.
Industry:Software
(1) Pertaining to a resource that is currently operational.<br />(2) Pertaining to a file, page, or programme that is in main storage or memory, as opposed to a file, page, or programme that must be retrieved from auxiliary storage.<br />(3) Pertaining to a node or device that is connected or is available for connexion to another node or device.<br />(4) In cross-site mirroring, pertaining to the configuration state of a mirror copy that indicates geographic mirroring is being performed.
Industry:Software
(1) An existing type that is used to internally represent a distinct type.<br />(2) In the application development tools, a characteristic of i5/OS members that allows the user to select a subset of the members available in a CoOperative Development Environment/400 session. Source types include i5/OS members with a particular member type.
Industry:Software
(1) In hardware, a uniprocessor or symmetric multiprocessor (SMP) computer that is part of a clustered system or a massively parallel processing (MPP) system.<br />(2) In communications, an end point of a communication link or a junction common to two or more links in a network. Nodes can be processors, communication controllers, cluster controllers, terminals, or workstations. Nodes can vary in routing and other functional capabilities.<br />(3) A location in a communications network that provides host-processing services.<br />(4) In X.25, a point where packets are received, stored, and forwarded to another location (or data terminal equipment) according to a routing method defined for the network.<br />(5) In networking, a point capable of sending and receiving data. A node can be a device, such as printer or workstation, a system, or a storage location on a disk. See also port.<br />(6) In XML, the smallest unit of valid, complete structure in a document.<br />(7) One of the points in a topology view or topology diagram. A node usually corresponds to a machine, but depending on the type of view, might also correspond to a facility, base product, solution element, or solution artifact.<br />(8) In a network, a point at which one or more functional units connect channels or data circuits.<br />(9) A logical grouping of managed servers. See also managed node.
Industry:Software
(1) Pertaining to a selection, choice, or condition that has two possible values.<br />(2) Pertaining to a system of numbers with a base of two. The binary digits are 0 and 1.<br />(3) In DB2 for i5/OS, pertaining to a data type indicating that the data is a binary number with a precision of 15 (halfword) or 31 (fullword) bits.
Industry:Software
(1) An exit that is not under programme control, such as a trap or a segmentation violation.<br />(2) A system failure or operator action that causes a job to end unsuccessfully.
Industry:Software
(1) In high availability disaster recovery, the process of restarting the original primary system and returning it to its status of primary system after a failover has occurred.<br />(2) The restoration of an appliance to its initial configuration after detection and repair of a failed network or component.<br />(3) Cluster recovery from failover following repair. See also failover.
Industry:Software
(1) Pertaining to a single data item.<br />(2) A type of programme object that contains either string or numeric data. It provides the byte string it is mapped to with representation and operational characteristics. See also pointer.<br />(3) An arithmetic object, an enumerated object, or a pointer to an object.<br />(4) A quantity characterised by a single value. See also array, vector.
Industry:Software
(1) An expression that can be evaluated to either true or false. It can be expressed in natural language text, in mathematically formal notation, or in a machine-readable language.<br />(2) In the Integrated Language Environment (ILE) model, a system-independent representation of an error condition within a high-level language (HLL). For an i5/OS program, each ILE condition has a corresponding exception message.<br />(3) In REXX, a specific event, or state, that can be trapped by the REXX CALL ON or SIGNAL ON instruction.<br />(4) An exception that has been enabled, or recognized, by the Language Environment and thus is eligible to activate user and language condition handlers. Conditions can be detected by the hardware/operating system and result in an interrupt. They can also be detected by language-specific generated code or language library code.<br />(5) The component of a policy expression that specifies the states for which a policy is relevant.<br />(6) The circumstances or state information of a managed resource that are examined during policy evaluation.<br />(7) In a business state machine, an expression that guards the transition and only allows the transition to the next state when and if the incoming operation evaluates to 'True'. Otherwise, the current state is maintained.<br />(8) A test of a situation or state that must be in place in order for a specific action to occur.
Industry:Software
(1) In hypertext markup language (HTML) coding, a subset of the Web browser window.<br />(2) In Open Systems Interconnection architecture, a data structure consisting of slots that can accept the values of specific attributes and from which inferences can be drawn.<br />(3) The block of information transmitted between two or more stations in the data link layer of a network. It includes delimiters, control characters, information, and checking characters.<br />(4) A group of data bits, surrounded by a beginning sequence and an ending sequence or other control information.<br />(5) A rectangular area on microfilm, bounded by imaginary intersecting, orthogonal lines that form a grid pattern, within which data can be recorded. The grid pattern does not actually appear on the microfilm.<br />(6) The hardware support structure, covers, and all electrical parts mounted there that are packaged as one entity for shipping.<br />(7) In fibre-channel technology, the structure used to transmit data between ports. A frame consists of a start-of-frame delimiter, a header, any optional headers, the data payload, a cyclic redundancy cheque (CRC), and an end-of-frame delimiter. There are two types of frames: link control frames (such as transmission acknowledgments) and data frames. See also packet, data word.
