(1) The portion of a striped data set (for example, an extended sequential data set) that resides on one disk. The records in that portion are not necessarily logically consecutive. The system distributes records among the stripes such that the discs can be read or written simultaneously to gain better performance.<br />(2) The set of tracks located on the set of physical disc drives configured in a Redundant Array of Independent discs (RAID) logical unit (LU) that have the same parity track. See also striped data set.

(1) The position of being slanted or tilted; oblique.<br />(2) The time difference between two clocks or clock values.
Industry:Software
(1) The primary and secondary log files that are currently needed for recovery and rollback. <br />(2) The portion of the DB2 for z/OS log to which log records are written as they are generated. The active log always contains the most recent log records.<br />(3) A data set with a fixed size on which WebSphere MQ records recovery events as they occur.

(1) The process by which, when an APPC connexion is established between two CICS systems (or reestablished after failure), the name of the system log currently in use on each system is passed to the partner. The exchange log name process affects only synclevel 2 conversations. It is used to detect the situation where a failed CICS has been communicating with a partner that is waiting to perform session recovery, and is restarted using a different system log. See also logname.<br />(2) A process used when sessions are first established to determine which log is being used by the remote system.
