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) An American Telephone and Telegraph (AT&T) unit that is part of the AT&T nonswitched digital data system.<br />(2) A device used to connect a digital phone line to a multiplexer, a channel bank, or directly to another device producing a digital signal. A CSU performs certain line-conditioning and equalization functions, and responds to loopback commands sent from the central office (CO).
Industry:Software
(1) An ANSI-standard electronic interface that allows personal computers to communicate with peripheral hardware, such as disk drives, tape drives, CD-ROM drives, printers, and scanners faster and more flexibly than previous interfaces. See also iSCSI, fixed-block device, SCSI device.<br />(2) A standard hardware interface that enables a variety of peripheral devices to communicate with one another. See also target.
Industry:Software
(1) An association of banks that manages the EBA clearing system through ABE Clearing SAS. The EBA is connected to the S.W.I.F.T. network in a manner similar to other S.W.I.F.T. users. The EBA monitors the operations of the EBA Clearing Service (a netting payment system), in particular the positions of all the clearing banks, through a direct connection to the clearing computer.<br />(2) The netting payment system maintained by the Euro Banking Association.
Industry:Software
(1) An attribute of a process that is used in determining various permissions, including file access permissions.This value is subject to change during the process lifetime.<br />(2) The current group ID, but not necessarily the user's own ID. For example, a user logged in under a particular group ID might be able to change to another group ID. The ID to which the user changes then becomes the effective group ID.
Industry:Software
(1) An authentication framework that allows single sign-on across a set of Web servers that fall within an Internet domain.<br />(2) A protocol that uses cryptography to support security in a distributed environment.
Industry:Software
(1) An editing facility that allows application programs to deal with simple logical messages instead of device-dependent data, thus simplifying the application development process.<br />(2) A MERVA direct service that formats a message according to the medium to be used, and checks it for formal correctness.
Industry:Software
(1) An environment that allows full-function databases and DEDBs to be accessed from one or more transaction management subsystems.<br />(2) An interface between CICS Transaction Server and IMS/ESA that allows access to IMS DL/I full-function databases and to data entry databases (DEDBs) from one or more CICS systems without the need for data sharing. It also provides release independence, virtual storage constraint relief, operational flexibility, and failure isolation.
Industry:Software
(1) An environment, in one or more CECs, that supports more than one VSE image. See also VSE image.<br />(2) A physical processing system (such as an IBM 3090) that is partitioned into one or more processors, where each processor is capable of running under the control of a single VSE operating system.<br />(3) A physical processing system, using the processor resource/systems manager (PR/SM), divided into multiple logical partitions, with each logical partition (LP) operating a copy of VSE. See also Processor Resource/Systems Manager.
Industry:Software
An integrity option that Virtual Storage Access Method record-level sharing (VSAM RLS) obtains for a share lock on a record; VSAM RLS then keeps the share lock on the record until the end of transaction. This option is available only to Customer Information Control System (CICS) transactions because VSAM does not recognize the end of transaction for non-CICS usage. This capability is also referred to as repeatable read.
Industry:Software
An Intel server that fits inside System i products to support larger Windows application demands.
