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) Any operation that allows traffic priorities to be designated. Through quality of service, different traffic throughout a network can be classified and administered.<br />(2) In OSI, a value that specifies certain performance characteristics of a service, session, or link. In OSI Communications Subsystem, quality of service is provided at the network layer.<br />(3) For an asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) virtual channel or a Networking BroadBand Services (NBBS) network connection, a set of communication characteristics such as end-to-end delay, jitter, and packet loss ratio.<br />(4) A set of communication characteristics required by an application. QoS defines a specific transmission priority, level of route reliability, and security level.<br />(5) A measure of system performance and system availability.
Industry:Software
(1) In PC operating systems, a file with a file name extension of .CMD that functions like a batch file in DOS.<br />(2) In RJE, a remote job input stream that can contain host system commands and job control language (JCL), data, and RJE control statements (READFILE or EOF). See also data file.
Industry:Software
(1) Any point or location, such as a program, node, station, printer, or a particular terminal, to which information is to be sent.<br />(2) In IMS TM, an application program, a logical terminal, or an operator command that is associated with the control region.<br />(3) A queue of data used with the CICS transient data facility.<br />(4) An exit point that is used to deliver documents to a back-end system or a trading partner.
Industry:Software
(1) In performance profiling, a class that is normally excluded in the filtering criteria, but which is directly invoked by the classes that are included as filters.<br />(2) A class used to model communication between the system's environments and its inner workings.
Industry:Software
(1) Any significant change in the state of a system resource, as represented in a Common Base Event. An event can be generated for a situation, such as a problem, the resolution of a problem, or the successful completion of a task. See also Common Base Event.<br />(2) A set of conditions that, when met, creates an event. A condition consists of an agent attribute, an operator such as greater than or equal to, and a value. It can be read as, "If - system condition - compared to - value - is true". An example of a situation is: IF - CPU usage - GT - 90% - TRUE. "IF" and "TRUE" are part of every situation. The expression "CPU usage GT 90%" is the situation condition.<br />(3) A significant occurrence that is detected when a set of conditions are met. For example, exceeding the limits of a Key Performance Indicator (KPI).
Industry:Software
(1) In Performance Tools, a job attribute that specifies whether a job is to be marked eligible to be moved out of main storage to auxiliary storage when entering a long wait or leaving the activity level.<br />(2) The abnormal end of a task by task control to alleviate a short-on-storage condition.<br />(3) In WebSphere Commerce Payments, to remove all associated payments and credits from a batch object, treating it as if it has just been created.
Industry:Software
An interruption that occurs when an I/O channel obtains a channel command word with the program-controlled interruption flag on.

(1) Any symbol that can be entered on a keyboard, printed, or displayed. For example, letters, numbers, and punctuation marks are all characters.<br />(2) In a computer system, a member of a set of elements that is used for the representation, organization, or control of data. See also glyph.<br />(3) A sequence of one or more bytes representing a single graphic symbol or control code.
Industry:Software
(1) In Performance Tools, a stream of transactions generated by specific jobs or tasks. Key attributes of a workload include the number of local and remote jobs generating transactions, the number of interactive and noninteractive transactions per job, and the system resources required for each transaction.<br />(2) A sequence of requests, such as commands, I/O operations, and subroutine-library calls, that constitutes a unit of work being performed by a system. Workload frequently refers to work that is repeatable so that it can be used to measure performance.<br />(3) A group of service classes.
Industry:Software
(1) Any valid command, transaction, or message switch.<br />(2) A message that is input into the SWIFT network. An input message has an input header.
