(1) In TCP/IP, that part of the IP address that defines a network. The length of the network ID depends on the type of network class (A, B, or C).<br />(2) A single character that is placed before a message type to indicate which network is to be used to send the message; for example, S for SWIFT.<br />(3) The network ID that is assigned by IMS or CICS, or if the connection type is RRSAF, the RRS unit of recovery ID (URID).

(1) A view that provides a hierarchical view of an object and the objects that it contains.<br />(2) See traceability tree.

(1) In CICS, an index based on an alternate key. It allows the file to be processed in a secondary key order.<br />(2) For VSAM key-sequenced data sets and entry-sequenced data sets, an index of alternate keys that provides a path for secondary access to the data set. If the records have alternate keys, the alternate index is built when the data set is created. See also secondary index.<br />(3) A subordinate index in a hierarchy of indexes.<br />(4) In z/OS Virtual Storage Access Method (VSAM), a collection of index entries related to a given base cluster and organized by a key other than the prime key of the associated, base-cluster, data records. An alternate index provides an alternate directory for locating records in the data component of a base cluster.
Industry:Software
(1) In the OSI reference model, a layer that provides services to the next higher layer.<br />(2) In System Manager, the system used to provide problem-handling support to another system or systems connected to it by communications lines. The service provider can also be the alert focal point in a network. See also service requester.<br />(3) Any company that provides services for a fee to its customers, such as telecommunication companies, application service providers, enterprise IT, and Internet service providers.<br />(4) A company or program that provides a business function as a service. The service provider receives messages from a service requester and runs the requested service. The service provider might also send messages in reply to the request.
Industry:Software
(1) A type of input event that is triggered by BTS's internal processing. For example, issuing a RUN command against an activity for the first time in a process instance triggers a DFHINITIAL system event. See also input event, user-defined event.<br />(2) An event that is generated by the management server or a management agent for changes related to system operation; for example, a server starting or stopping, failure of the ARM engine on an application server, or authentication problems. See also application event.

(1) In TCP/IP, the function that allows a system to get an internet address from a remote site rather than from its own host table.<br />(2) A name server that exists outside a local network.
Industry:Software
(1) A view-only scalable partition.<br />(2) In CICS/VSE, a partition, defined at IPL time and occupying a defined amount of virtual storage that remains constant. See also dynamic partition.
Industry:Software
(1) In CICS, an option whereby trace entries are written to an internal control region table. The table, which can be specified to wrap when full, is most appropriate if the user does not need to capture a large number of trace entries.<br />(2) A CICS trace facility that is present in virtual storage. When CICS detects an exception condition, an entry always goes to the internal trace table, even if you have turned tracing off.
Industry:Software
(1) In the Reusable Asset Specification (RAS), a location in an asset that may be altered, customized, modified, or supplied by an asset consumer. An extension point can define the assets variability at design time, code time, and run-time.<br />(2) In Eclipse, the specification that defines what attributes and values must be declared by an extension. See also extension.
Industry:Software
(1) A type of IP address that identifies a group of interfaces and permits all of the systems that are in that group to receive the same packet of information.<br />(2) See group address.
