There are two types of dump code, transaction dump codes and system dump codes, used in transaction dumps and system dumps, respectively. A dump code can be defined by CICS or the user and is used to select a set of system actions. These actions are held in either the system or transaction dump table. See also system dump code, system dump table, transaction dump code, transaction dump table.<br />(2) In CICS/VSE, a predefined name by which a transaction dump is known.

(1) In the operating systems for personal computers, the directory on a disk or diskette that contains the list of files stored on that disk or diskette. If more than one directory is on a disk or diskette, the root directory is at the top of the hierarchy of directories. The root directory is created by the operating system when the disk or diskette is formatted.<br />(2) The directory that contains all other directories in the system.

(1) A two-step process by which recoverable resources and an external subsystem are committed. During the first step, the database manager subsystems are polled to ensure that they are ready to commit. If all subsystems respond positively, the database manager instructs them to commit. See also distributed transaction.<br />(2) The process used by resource managers to coordinate changes in an atomic, consistent, isolated, and durable (ACID) transaction. In the first phase, all resource managers confirm that a transaction has been received and that it is possible to process it. In the second phase, the changes are committed if all the resource managers agreed to them. If any resource manager fails to confirm that it is able to process the transaction, then no databases are updated. Using the two-phase commit process, multiple changes across multiple resource managers can be treated as a single ACID transaction.
