(1) On a data medium, a coded character indicating the end of the medium.<br />(2) A code that signals that the last record of a file has been read.
Industry:Software
(1) An area of the screen with visible boundaries in which an application program or information is displayed or in which a dialog is presented.<br />(2) In data communications, the number of data packets the data terminal equipment (DTE) or data circuit-terminating equipment (DCE) can send across a logical channel before waiting for authorization to send another data packet. The window is the main method of pacing, or flow control, of packets.
Industry:Software
(1) In data communication, a sequence of binary digits, including data and control signals, that is transmitted and switched as a composite whole. See also frame.<br />(2) The field structure and format defined in the CCITT X.25 Recommendation.
Industry:Software
(1) On a federated database, a means of processing a query fragment if the data source cannot process the fragment or if the federated database can process the fragment faster than the data source can. See also push-down processing, query optimizer.<br />(2) The means by which operations in a process that have successfully completed can be undone if an error occurs, to return the system to a consistent state.<br />(3) The action that a collaboration takes during rollback of a transaction to undo a previously executed service call. Such an action semantically negates the action taken by a corresponding step in the service call, which has already been executed. For example, the compensation step for a Create action might involve deleting the object just created. See also isolation checking, minimum transaction level, transactional collaboration.
Industry:Software
(1) An area on a direct access storage device used to store object programs and routines.<br />(2) A file used to store object modules.
Industry:Software
(1) In data communication, an association established between entities for conveying information. <br />(2) A combination of two endpoints that the virtual private network (VPN) protects and a security policy. Such a connection can exist between any combination of a host and a gateway.<br />(3) In Open Systems Interconnection architecture, an association established by a given layer between two or more entities of the next higher layer for the purpose of data transfer.<br />(4) A set of parameters used by HATS to connect to a host application, stored in an .hco file. <br />(5) A link between two process elements. Connections can be used to specify the chronological sequence of activities in a process.
Industry:Software
(1) On a magnetic disk or in an assembly of disks, the set of all tracks that can be accessed by all the magnetic heads of a comb in a given position, without repositioning the access mechanism.<br />(2) A unit of storage on a count-key-data (CKD) device with a fixed number of tracks.
