See also asynchronous.<br />(2) Occurring with a regular or predictable time relationship.<br />(3) In cross-site mirroring, pertaining to the mode of geographic mirroring where the programme that issues the update waits until the operation is completed on both the production copy and the mirror copy. This mode ensures that once control is returned to the client, the operation is accurately reflected on both the production copy and the mirror copy.
Industry:Software
(1) An internal programme that reads jobs from an input device or a database file and places them on a job queue.<br />(2) In RJE, a programme that reads jobs from a database file or interactive display station and sends them to the host system.
