(1) Pertaining to communication in which data can be sent and received at the same time. See also half-duplex.<br />(2) Pertaining to printing on both sides of a sheet of paper.<br />(3) Pertaining to the process of writing two sets of identical records in order to create a second copy of data.<br />(4) In ESS Copy Services, the state of a volume pair after Peer-to-Peer Remote Copy (PPRC) has completed the copy operation and the volume pair is synchronized.
Industry:Software
An internal service in IMS used for finding certain IMS resources (CCB, CVB, SMB, CNT, RCNT, LNB, and QAB), most of which represent IMS destinations. For searches other than CVBs and CCBs, if the block is not found, then if requested, a search for an LU 6.2 descriptor is made. If LU 6.2 is not requested, or the search fails, then if ETO is active and the caller of FINDDEST request creation, a call is made to create a new user structure for the given destination name.
Industry:Software
(1) An IMS in a multisystem environment that accepts transactions from the front-end system, calls application programmes for transaction processing, and routes replies back to the front-end system for response to the terminal. A back-end system may also perform front-end processing. A back-end system can be another IMS connected by an MSC link or can be part of the same IMSplex as the front-end system. See also front-end system.<br />(2) The CICS or IMS system in which existing applications run. Equivalent to partner system. See also front-end system.
Industry:Software
(1) In Internet communications, a workstation, server, or router that contains a network management agent. In the Internet Protocol (IP), the managed node usually contains a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) agent.<br />(2) In a Tivoli environment, a computer system on which Tivoli Management Framework is installed.<br />(3) A node that is federated to a deployment manager and contains a node agent and can contain managed servers. See also node.
Industry:Software
(1) Pertaining to data transmission between two locations without the use of any intermediate display station or computer.<br />(2) Pertaining to a style of messaging application in which the sending application knows the destination of the message.<br />(3) A fibre-channel topology that employs direct links between each pair of communicating entities. See also switched fabric.
Industry:Software
(1) An IMS in an MSC network in which all terminals are connected, messages are routed to the proper processing IMS, and all replies are routed to the terminals. A front-end system may also perform back-end processing. See also back-end system, pseudo-front-end system, transaction processing system.<br />(2) The CICS system in which the Front End Programming Interface (FEPI) runs to provide access to applications running on other systems. See also back-end system.
Industry:Software
(1) In Internet communications, the identifier for a logical connector between an application entity and the transport service.<br />(2) The part of a socket address that identifies a port within a host.
Industry:Software
(1) Pertaining to events that are not synchronised in time or do not occur in regular or predictable time intervals. See also synchronous.<br />(2) In cross-site mirroring, pertaining to the mode of geographic mirroring in which the programme issuing the update waits until the operation is complete on the production copy and received for processing on the target system.
Industry:Software
(1) An IMS/ESA system service call that can request that a programme restarts normally or from a specific checkpoint ID, a time/date stamp, or (BMPs only) the last checkpoint issued. Extended restart can be requested by EXEC DLI commands or CALL DLI calls in a batch programme or a BMP.<br />(2) A restart, initiated by a DL/I call, that reestablishes database positioning and user-specified areas. See also symbolic checkpoint.
Industry:Software
(1) In Java programming, a class or interface.<br />(2) In DCE X/Open Object Management (XOM), a category into which attribute values are placed on the basis of their purpose.<br />(3) In object oriented programming, a fundamental data type of computer architecture, including, for example, character, string and integer.<br />(4) In a WSDL document, an element that contains data type definitions using some type system (such as XSD).<br />(5) An object that defines a data structure.<br />(6) A characteristic of an element that describes its data content.<br />(7) A description of data characteristics. The descriptions include the operations that can be performed on or by the data. See also data type.
