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) A conceptual two-dimensional surface in storage on which data for a portion of the display surface is represented.<br />(2) The display data buffer associated with a partition. The size of the presentation space is defined as equal to, or larger than, the size of the viewport. When the presentation space is equal to the viewport size, all the data in the presentation space is displayed. When the presentation space is larger than the viewport, the user must move the scrolling window within the presentation space to display the data within the viewport. See also scrolling window, viewport.<br />(3) A portion of the device's buffer storage, allocated to a partition, that contains only display data that CICS sends to that partition. See also partition.
Industry:Software
(1) A physical sheet of paper or other medium on which data is printed.<br />(2) In query management, an object that describes how to format the data for printing or displaying a report.<br />(3) A display screen, printed document, or file with defined spaces for information to be inserted.<br />(4) A partially-filled message containing data that can be copied for a new message of the same message type.<br />(5) A Notes database element that controls how a user edits, displays, and prints documents. A form can contain fields, static text, graphics, and special objects. A Notes database can have any number of forms.
Industry:Software
(1) A concise statement articulating a specific component of what the strategy must achieve and what is critical to its success. Objectives are best stated as action phrases which may include the means and desired results.<br />(2) A target level of performance expressed as a measurable goal, against which actual achievement can be compared. Objectives may be expressed as a quantitative standard, value (numeric or time), or rate. See also initiative.
Industry:Software
(1) A physical unit that provides a mechanism to store data on a given medium so that it can be subsequently retrieved.<br />(2) A logical unit number (LUN) that terminates a collection of ports on the storage network.
Industry:Software
(1) A condition defined in the filter table and used to regulate the flow of traps.<br />(2) The act of cutting off or reducing input or output.
Industry:Software
(1) A picture or text on an acetate sheet designed to be viewed by light shining through it.<br />(2) In asynchronous communications, a method of hiding certain ASCII control characters from modems or asynchronous devices.<br />(3) See transparent text mode.<br />(4) Terminal attribute whereby data is not translated between terminal and main storage representation on read or write requests. This allows the transmission of all 256 possible byte values.
Industry:Software
(1) A condition under which a transaction cannot proceed because it is dependent on exclusive resources that are locked by another transaction, which in turn is dependent on exclusive resources in use by the original transaction.<br />(2) Unresolved contention for the use of resources.<br />(3) A condition in which two independent threads of control are blocked, each waiting for the other to take some action. Deadlock often arises from adding synchronization mechanisms to avoid race conditions.
Industry:Software
(1) A piece of equipment. Devices can be workstations, printers, disk drives, tape units, or remote systems.<br />(2) In the AIX operating system, a valuator, button, or the keyboard. Buttons have values of 0 or 1 (up or down); valuators return values in a range, and the keyboard returns ASCII values.<br />(3) In UML modeling, a type of node that represents a physical computational resource in a system, such as an application server.
Industry:Software
(1) A connection between two programs over a session that allows them to communicate with each other while processing a transaction. See also SQL processing conversation, transaction, session.<br />(2) See speech recognition session.<br />(3) In FEPI, a sequence of related data transmission between a FEPI application and a particular back-end system. This is analogous to a CICS APPC conversation, but it is not the same as an IMS conversation, and it is not related to CICS conversational mode.<br />(4) The communication between a CICS Transaction Gateway and a CICS server.<br />(5) A dialog between a terminal and a message processing program using IMS conversational processing facilities. Also, a dialog between an LU 6.2 program and an IMS application program. A conversation between a terminal and a message processing program is significant status that is kept in RM, if RM is used. Status for a held conversation is not kept in RM. The IMS conversation is represented by a CCB. See also conversational processing.
Industry:Software
(1) A pivoted tongue or sliding bolt adapted to fall into notches on a machine to permit motion in only one direction.<br />(2) The tongue of a ratchet.
