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 of forming multiple physical partitions from one processor complex.<br />(2) Dividing the resources in a tape library (tape drives and tape volumes) among multiple systems, sysplexes, or both, for their exclusive use. Each partition can be viewed as a logical library with each logical library (TCDBplex) represented by one tape configuration database (TCDB).<br />(3) The division of a machine's computing resources into independent subsystems with processor, memory, and I/O resources dedicated to the exclusive use of a subsystem. This division allows multiple operating systems to run concurrently in the subsystems.
Industry:Software
(1) The process of giving a value to a variable.<br />(2) In REXX, a single clause with the form symbol = expression. An assignment gives a variable a new value.
Industry:Software
(1) The process of handling files or directories that are modified during backup or archive processing.<br />(2) The process of controlling access to a resource to protect the integrity of the resource.<br />(3) The consecutive ordering of items.<br />(4) In Q replication, the process of applying transactions in the same order in which they were committed at the source.<br />(5) In object-oriented programming, the writing of data in sequential fashion to a communications medium from programme memory.
Industry:Software
(1) The process of keeping sufficient free storage space available on a client node by migrating files to server storage. The files are migrated based on criteria defined in management classes to which the files are bound and the include-exclude list.<br />(2) The process of managing aged data sets on DFSMShsm-managed and migration volumes. The three types of space management are migration, deletion, and retirement.
Industry:Software
(1) The process of maintaining a defined set of data in more than one location. Replication involves copying designated changes for one location (a source) to another (a target) and synchronising the data in both locations.<br />(2) The process of copying objects from one node in a cluster to one or more other nodes in the cluster, which makes the objects on all the systems identical.<br />(3) The process of exchanging modifications between replicas. Through replication, Notes makes all of the replicas essentially identical over time.
Industry:Software
(1) The process of planning (for example, scheduling) and controlling (for example, distributing, installing, and tracking) software changes over a network.<br />(2) The process of controlling and tracking modifications to artifacts. See also scope management.<br />(3) The process of planning for and executing changes to configuration items in the information technology environment.
Industry:Software
(1) The process of planning, organizing, and controlling a communications-oriented system.<br />(2) In OSI, systems management that involves processing and exchanging management information over two or more nodes. Network management provides the ability to manage one or more nodes from another node.
Industry:Software
(1) The process of re-creating a database or table space that became unusable because of hardware failure, software failure, or both. The process includes restoring a backup image and can also include rolling database logs forward in time.<br />(2) In Backup, Recovery, and Media Services, the process of locating and restoring data in the event of partial or total data destruction. The recovery service automatically locates the correct media to be restored based on user-defined media management and recovery requirements.<br />(3) The process of returning the system to a state from which operation can be resumed.<br />(4) The restoration of resources following an error.<br />(5) The process of rebuilding data after it has been damaged or destroyed, often by using a backup copy of the data or by reapplying transactions recorded in a log.<br />(6) The process of restoring access to file system data when a failure has occurred. Recovery can involve reconstructing data or providing alternative routing through a different server.
Industry:Software
(1) The process of restoring a database after a partial or complete site failure that was caused by a catastrophic event such as an earthquake or fire. Typically, disaster recovery requires a full database backup at another location.<br />(2) A procedure for copying and storing an installation's essential data in a secure location, and for recovering that data in the event of a catastrophic problem. See also vital records.
Industry:Software
(1) The process of restoring a physically or logically damaged DBDS by merging an image copy and logs or change accumulation data sets.<br />(2) The function of restoring the user data sets, starting with a backup copy and applying all changes made to each data set after the backup was taken.
