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) CICS resource recovery mechanism that provides a CICS resource manager, for example file control, with more flexibility than the DWE two-phase commit support for syncpoint and backout processing.<br />(2) A subcomponent that supplies coordination services that control the interaction of DB2 resource managers during commit, abort, checkpoint, and restart processes. The recovery manager also supports the recovery mechanisms of other subsystems (for example, IMS) by acting as a participant in the other subsystem's process for protecting data that has reached a point of consistency.<br />(3) A coordinator or a participant (or both), in the execution of a two-phase commit, that can access a recovery log that maintains the state of the logical unit of work and names the immediate upstream coordinator and downstream participants.
Industry:Software
(1) In programming languages, the form of data used for storing and manipulating text.<br />(2) A group of auxiliary storage devices connected in a series on the system. The order and location in which each device is connected to the system determines the physical address of the device.<br />(3) A sequence of elements of the same nature, such as characters considered as a whole. For example, character string, binary string, and hexadecimal string.<br />(4) A sequence of bytes that might represent characters.<br />(5) A contiguous sequence of bytes terminated by and including the first null byte.
Industry:Software
(1) A specified point in a programme at which the system stops processing; processing can be resumed after manual intervention.<br />(2) A marked point in a process or programmatic flow that causes that flow to pause when the point is reached, usually to allow debugging or monitoring.
Industry:Software
(1) Component of the CICS-DBCTL interface in the CICS address space. Its functions include requesting connexion and disconnection from DBCTL, telling CICS when a shutdown of DBCTL has been requested or if DBCTL has failed, managing threads, establishing contact with the DBCTL address space, and loading the DRA startup parameter table.<br />(2) An interface to IMS DB full-function databases and DEDBs. The DRA can be used by a coordinator controller (CCTL) or a z/OS application programme that uses the ODBA interface.
Industry:Software
(1) In QoS, a control function that selects packets according to the content within the packet headers.<br />(2) A mechanism that describes behavioural and structural features. Classifiers include interfaces, classes, data types, and components.<br />(3) A specialised attribute used for grouping and color-coding process elements.
Industry:Software
(1) A speech recognition process that accepts voice data as input and returns the text form of what was said as output. It is the process which performs the recognition.<br />(2) The unit that contains the processors that respond to requests for data from clients. The operating software for the IBM TotalStorage appliance resides in the engine. See also storage port.<br />(3) The unit that hosts the software for the metadata server.
Industry:Software
(1) Connectionless service between ports with notification of delivery or nondelivery.<br />(2) See transport class 2.
Industry:Software
(1) In QoS, the process of setting the bits in the Internet Protocol (IP) type-of-service byte. This is primarily a mechanism that is used in differentiated services. As an example, in-profile packets could be marked with one differentiated services code point, while out-of-profile packets are marked with another code point.<br />(2) A method of updating certain structured fields to identify a resource as printer-resident.
Industry:Software
(1) A standardised form of comment which has meaning to a compiler. A pragma usually conveys non-essential information, often intended to help the compiler to optimise the program. See also directive.<br />(2) A preprocessor directive that is not specified by the ISO standard. Pragmas often control actions of the compiler and linker. A pragma always begins with a number sign (#).
Industry:Software
(1) Convenience grouping of one or more attributes. For example, Address might include the attributes Street, City, State, and Zip.<br />(2) A set of related attributes that can be combined in a view or a situation.
