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) Independent of any other device, program, or system. In a network environment, a stand-alone machine accesses all required resources locally.<br />(2) Pertaining to a program that is capable of running separately from the DB2 database system, without using DB2 services.
Industry:Software
(1) An area of storage that compensates for the different speeds of data flow or timings of events by temporarily holding a block of data to be processed or written to an I/O device.<br />(2) A storage area used by MERVA programs to store a message in its internal format. A buffer has an 8-byte prefix that indicates its length.<br />(3) To allocate and schedule the use of temporary storage areas.
Industry:Software
(1) In Cryptographic Support, a data-encrypting key used to encrypt data before it is sent to another location.<br />(2) In computer security, a temporary key that grants access to a particular resource or session. A session key is similar to a service ticket in the Kerberos protocol.<br />(3) A key that uniquely identifies each CICS-IMS session. The session key is formed from the CICS name for the session and the IMS subpool name.
Industry:Software
(1) Information attached to an object that describes the object to an application system or user.<br />(2) A characteristic of a shared folder file. Each extended attribute consists of a name, a value, and a set of flags.<br />(3) In configuration management, a configuration item (CI) attribute that is not part of the original CI definition, but is added by the customer.<br />(4) In change management, a request for change (RFC) type attribute that provides information that is needed to fulfill the RFC. A required RFC type attribute must be specified when an RFC of that type is created.
Industry:Software
(1) An area of storage that defines the layout of the fields, called subfields, within the area. A data structure is program described.<br />(2) In Open Source Initiative (OSI), the syntactic structure of symbolic expressions and their storage allocation characteristics.
Industry:Software
(1) In Cryptographic Support, the first 4 bytes from the last 8-byte block of ciphertext produced when encrypting a message using cipher block chaining, that is added to the end of the plaintext message from which it was created and used to detect whether the message was changed during transmission.<br />(2) In computer security, a value that is a part of a message or accompanies a message and is used to determine that the contents, origin, author, or other attributes of all or part of the message are as they appear to be.
Industry:Software
(1) Information, labeled as a managed object, that relates to an event that has occurred within the managed object.<br />(2) An unscheduled, spontaneously generated message, issued by an agent when a significant or critical (data) condition occurs.<br />(3) An occurrence within a process that can trigger an action. Notifications can be used to model conditions of interest to be transmitted from a sender to a (usually unknown) set of interested parties (the receivers).<br />(4) A message that contains the event descriptions that are sent to managed resources, Web services and other resources.
Industry:Software
(1) An area of storage that is external to DB2 and that is connected to DB2. An allied address space can request DB2 services. See also address space.<br />(2) A z/OS address space that is connected to WebSphere MQ for z/OS.
Industry:Software
(1) In Cryptographic Support, to convert ciphertext into plaintext. See also encrypt.<br />(2) To decipher data.
Industry:Software
(1) Loss of data caused by the inability of a transmitting device or channel to provide data to the communications control logic at a rate that is fast enough for the attached data link or loop.<br />(2) To run out of audio data to play, resulting in voice or music being audibly broken up or cut off.
