Company Profile:
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) The process during which a build programme (clearmake, clearaudit, or omake) produces one or more derived objects. This may involve actual translation of source files and construction of binary files by compilers, linkers, text formatters, and so on.<br />(2) An operational version of a system or part of a system that demonstrates a subset of the capabilities to be provided in the final product.<br />(3) To create or modify resources, usually based on the state of other resources. A Java builder converts Java source files into executable class files, for example, and a Web link builder updates links to files whose name or location has changed.<br />(4) To convert a product from source code to a binary or executable software product.
Industry:Software
(1) The process of aggregating events and then submitting the set of events with a much smaller number of summary events.<br />(2) The process of including non-redundant sentences in search results to briefly describe the content of a document. See also dynamic summarization, static summarization.
Industry:Software
(1) The process of analysing event data to identify patterns, common causes, and root causes. Correlation analyses the incoming events for known states, using rules and relationships.<br />(2) In transaction monitoring, the process of tracking hierarchical relationships among transactions and associating transactions with their nested subtransactions.<br />(3) A record used with business processes and state machines to allow two partners to initialize a transaction, temporarily suspend an activity, and then recognise each other again when that activity resumes.<br />(4) A mechanism that bridges a point in a process flow between two or more process instances.<br />(5) The relationship, captured in a correlation expression, that describes how an incoming event is matched with one or more monitoring context instances to which it will be delivered.
Industry:Software
(1) The process of backing up files or directories, or copying pages in the database, that are new or changed since the last full or incremental backup. See also cumulative backup.<br />(2) A copy of all database data that has changed since the most recent successful full backup operation. An incremental backup is also known as a cumulative backup image because each incremental backup includes the contents of the previous incremental backup.
Industry:Software
(1) The process of breaking down an Internet Protocol (IP) datagram into smaller parts to match the capabilities of the physical medium over which it will be transmitted. See also defragmentation.<br />(2) An operating system's process of writing different parts of a file to discontiguous sectors on a computer storage medium when contiguous space that is large enough to contain the entire file is not available. When data is thus fragmented, the time that it takes to access the data may increase because the operating system must search different tracks for information that should be in one location.<br />(3) The separation of the index into pieces as a result of inserts and deletions in the index.
Industry:Software
(1) The process of breaking up an XML document for storage in database tables.<br />(2) The separation of a compound word into its constituents (or formation elements). Internally this consists of three distinct steps: segmentation, normalization, and annotation.
Industry:Software
(1) The process of changing data from one form of representation to another.<br />(2) The process of changing from one coded character set identifier (CCSID) to another. A system does data conversion when exchanging data with another system that is using a different CCSID.
Industry:Software
(1) The process of changing from one method of data processing to another or from one data processing system to another. Changing a code point that is assigned to a character in one code page to its corresponding code point in another code page is an example of conversion.<br />(2) In programming languages, the transformation between values that represent the same data item but belong to different data types. Information may be lost because of conversion since accuracy of data representation varies among different data types.<br />(3) The process of changing from one form of representation to another. Changing a code point that is assigned to a character in one code page to its corresponding code point in another code page is an example of conversion.<br />(4) In DFSMSrmm, the process of moving removable-media-library inventory from another media management system to DFSMSrmm. DFSMSrmm manages the inventory and policies after conversion.
Industry:Software
(1) The process of changing the structure and values of data from one form to another.<br />(2) A HATS resource that specifies how to convert components of a host screen into widgets on a Web page.
Industry:Software
(1) The process of checking to ensure that the contents of a message are correct.<br />(2) The act of confirming that a user is eligible to use a RACF-defined userid.
