(1) A system object that serves as a directory to other objects. A library groups related objects, and allows users to find objects by name.<br />(2) A repository for demountable recorded media, such as magnetic discs and magnetic tapes.<br />(3) A collection of model elements, including business items, processes, tasks, resources, and organizations.<br />(4) A partitioned data set or a series of concatenated partitioned data sets. See also partitioned data set extended.<br />(5) A Notes database that contains lists of links to other databases. Unlike a catalog, which lists all the Notes databases on a server, a library contains links to selected databases from one or several servers.<br />(6) A set of object modules that can be specified in a link command.

(1) In a federated system, the association between the authorization ID at the federated server and the authorization ID at the data source. User mappings are needed so that distributed requests can be sent to the data source. See also user option.<br />(2) The association of Information Integrator for Content user IDs and passwords to corresponding user IDs and passwords in one or more content servers. User mapping enables single logon to Enterprise Information Portal and multiple content servers.

(1) In SNA, the record sent to respond to a request. The response can be either positive or negative and can include control information.<br />(2) A message unit that acknowledges a request unit. It can contain prefix information received in a request unit.

(1) A unique code or identifier for a register, device, workstation, system, or storage location.<br />(2) The second part of a two-part user identification used to send distributions.
Industry:Software
(1) In APPC, a reference point during transaction processing to which resources can be restored if a failure occurs.<br />(2) In OSI, a point to which a session can be reset. Setting a synchronisation point requires the appropriate token. synchronisation points are a session-layer service.<br />(3) A point in time from which IMS or an application programme can start over if a failure makes recovery necessary. The two types of synchronisation points are system checkpoints done by IMS itself, and application programme synchronisation points (also known as commit points) done on behalf of individual application programs. See also commit point, system checkpoint.

(1) In the C, COBOL, and REXX languages, a token that specifies the type of action to be done on one or more terms. The four types of operators are concatenation, arithmetic, comparison, and logical.<br />(2) In an access plan for an SQL or XQuery statement, a token that specifies the type of action that must be performed on data or on the output from a table or an index when the access plan is executed.<br />(3) In Query Patroller, a person who has a subset of administrator authorities, as defined in his or her operator profile. See also profile.<br />(4) An enterprise search user who has the authority to observe, start, and stop collection-level processes.
Industry:Software
(1) A system object where changes made to data are recorded. The object created contains historical information about tasks, the database, messages, and notifications, which can be used to reconstruct a previous version of the data. The system-recognized identifier for the object type is *JRN.<br />(2) A chronological record of changes made in a set of data; the record can be used to reconstruct a previous version of the set.<br />(3) The destination pages from which a user can view all available historical information about tasks, the database, messages, and notifications.<br />(4) A feature of OS/400 that WebSphere MQ for iSeries uses to control updates to local objects. Each queue manager library contains a journal for that queue manager.
Industry:Software
(1) In a federated system, the database system catalog. The catalogue contains information about objects in the federated database and at the data source. The catalogue also contains information about the entire federated system. The information in the global catalogue is used by the query optimizer to plan the best way to process SQL statements.<br />(2) A system data set in which CICS records CICS system information. See also local catalog.
Industry:Software
(1) In SNA, the remote participant in a session.<br />(2) An access point in the SNA network that is connected to the local DB2 for z/OS subsystem by way of a VTAM conversation.
Industry:Software
(1) A unique connexion to an application programme that is able to activate an LU-to-LU session without assistance from a system services control point (SSCP). An independent logical unit can be used as either a primary logical unit (PLU) or a secondary logical unit (SLU), and can have one or more active LU-toLU sessions at a time. Currently, only an LU 6.2 can be an independent LU. See also dependent logical unit.<br />(2) A logical unit (LU) that can both send and receive a BIND command, and which supports single, parallel, and multiple sessions.
