(1) Any collection of data stored in a document object. A document can contain any type of data. For example, the System i Access shared folders function can store any data that could otherwise be stored in a PC file; a server application can store any data into a document by using CL commands, such as FILDOC and RPLDOC. The system-recognized identifier for the document object type is *DOC. See also document library object.<br />(2) A machine-readable collection of one or more objects that represent a composition, a work, or a collection of data.<br />(3) An item that can be stored, retrieved, and exchanged among Content Manager systems and users as a separate unit. It can be any multimedia digital object. A single document can include varied types of content, including for example, text, images, and spreadsheets. See also workbasket, workflow.<br />(4) A logical structure that a CICS transaction can use to manipulate text or other structured information. See also document template.<br />(5) A Notes database entry that users create by using a form on the Create menu. Documents consist of fields, text, numbers, graphics, and so on. Information may be entered by a user, automatically calculated by formulas, imported from other applications, or linked to another application and dynamically updated.<br />(6) A business document, such as a purchase order or invoice, that can be represented in any supported format. For example, an XML purchase order and an EDI purchase order are both documents, but each uses a different format.<br />(7) An attachment of any medium such as a text file, a spreadsheet, graphics, videos, or a URL that can be appended to an element in the work breakdown structure (WBS), a resource record, scope element or requirement.

(1) In OSI, system-defined values that are used as the initial values of certain parameters. In OSI Communications Subsystem, side information is a combination of (a) information in the OSI Communications Subsystem information base, and (b) information provided by directory service.<br />(2) System-defined variables that are used for the initial values of the communications element of the SAA Common Programming Interface partner_LU_name, mode_name, and TP_name characteristics.
Industry:Software
(1) Any combination of alphabetic or numeric characters (A-Z, a-z, or 0-9) and the characters @, #, $, ., !, ?, and _.<br />(2) In MVS, a group of 1 - 8 characters, including alphanumeric characters and the three characters: #, @, $. The symbol begins with either an alphabetic character or one of the three characters (#,@,$).
Industry:Software
(1) In OSI, the process of monitoring, coordinating, and controlling resources within open systems.<br />(2) In System Manager, all of the actions and procedures that accomplish the business support activity of making information systems services available. Information systems services include host, application, network, and data services.<br />(3) Functions in the application layer related to the management of Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) resources and their status across all layers of the OSI architecture.

(1) Any command used to obtain or modify Management Information Base (MIB) variables.<br />(2) A CICSPlex SM command that affects one or more of the resources represented in a view. Action commands can be issued from either the COMM field in the control area of the information display or the COMMAND field in a displayed view.
Industry:Software
(1) In OSI, the process of obtaining identifiers for objects from the appropriate naming authorities. Registered identifiers should be obtained for the following objects, which relate to OSI Communications Subsystem operations: (a) NSAP addresses, (b) DTE addresses, (c) abstract syntaxes, (d) application contexts, and (e) application entities.<br />(2) In X.25, the process used between a DTE and a DCE to establish an agreement on which optional user facilities will be in effect. For example, the DTE can request that the DCE agree to or stop a previous agreement for an optional user facility. Also, a DCE can indicate which optional user facilities are available or which optional user facilities are currently in effect. The negotiation is accomplished through the exchange of registration packets.<br />(3) In SQL replication, the process of registering a DB2 table, view, or nickname as a replication source. See also subscription.<br />(4) The process of creating an object in the installation database that uniquely identifies the managed resource in the hosting environment.<br />(5) In Resource Recovery Services (RRS), the definition of a resource manager to the system.
Industry:Software
(1) Any launchable asset; the physical files that make up a course offering.<br />(2) In the Reusable Asset Specification (RAS), a section of an asset that contains a collection of artefacts providing a solution to a problem.<br />(3) The data semantics of a message that is received by the dynamic assembler.
Industry:Software
(1) In OSI, the representation of a layer on a given open system.<br />(2) A person, object, or concept about which information is stored.<br />(3) In markup languages such as XML, a collection of characters that can be referenced as a unit, for example to incorporate often-repeated text or special characters within a document.<br />(4) In object-oriented design, an item that can be treated as a unit and, often, as a member of a particular category or type. An entity can be a concrete thing or an abstract idea.<br />(5) A user, group, or resource that is defined to RACF.
