(1) In RACF, an installation-defined name that corresponds to a specific RACF security level with a set of security categories.<br />(2) In a trusted computing base, a label used to maintain multiple levels of security on a system. This label is a combination of a security class and a security level. See also identification label.<br />(3) In label-based access control (LBAC), a database object that can be granted to users and can also be applied to columns and rows in a table to protect the data.

(1) In a multithreaded environment, to mark a thread so that the system reclaims the thread resources when the thread ends. If the thread is already ended, the resources are freed immediately.<br />(2) In cross-site mirroring, to disassociate a mirror copy from the production copy to use the mirror copy for a separate operation, such as to save data, to run reports, or to perform data mining. Detaching a mirror copy suspends geographic mirroring.
Industry:Software
Gap
(1) In SQL replication, a range of log or journal records that the Capture programme cannot read. The changed data in a gap can be lost.<br />(2) Active-site log data that is not available to the tracking IMS.
