(1) In DCE Remote Procedure Call (RPC), a part of the application programming interface (API) of the RPC run time. NSI routines access a name service, such as the Cell Directory Service (CDS), for RPC applications.<br />(2) The WebSphere MQ interface to which customer- or vendor-written programs that resolve queue-name ownership must conform. A part of the WebSphere MQ Framework.
Industry:Software
(1) One or more storage units that are defined from the storage devices or storage device subsystems that make up auxiliary storage. An ASP provides a way of organizing data to limit the impact of storage-device failures and to reduce recovery time. See also main storage pool.<br />(2) A group of disk units defined from the auxiliary storage devices. See also system ASP, user ASP.
Industry:Software
(1) An element of information in a table, list, queue, or other organized structure of data or control information.<br />(2) An item in an index. It consists of a main entry plus a locator, and can also have subentries or cross-references.<br />(3) A collection of information about a cataloged object in a master or user catalog. See also entry name.
Industry:Software
(1) In DCE Remote Procedure Call (RPC), a record in an RPC profile that maps an RPC interface identifier to a profile member (a server entry, group, or profile in a name service database).<br />(2) An element or monitoring task belonging to a user profile. The element defines what is to be monitored and when.
Industry:Software
(1) One or more units of recovery, with the associated application programs, resource managers, and protected resources. A context represents a work request in an application, and the life of a context consists of a series of units of recovery.<br />(2) A set of one or more grammars that are enabled and used during a recognition action.<br />(3) A named part of the CICSPlex SM environment that is currently being acted upon by CICSPlex SM. For configuration tasks, the context is a CICSPlex SM address space (CMAS); for all other tasks, it is a CICSplex. See also scope.<br />(4) A view of a set of related modeling elements for a particular purpose, such as specifying an operation.<br />(5) The address space for a process, hardware registers, and related kernel data structures.<br />(6) In ODBC, an application's logical connection to the data source and associated DB2 ODBC connection information that allows the application to direct its operations to a data source. A DB2 ODBC context represents a DB2 thread.<br />(7) An object created for a service request in the business service model. The object contains one or more of the following details of information captured from the metadata: a business process, organization, role, channel, and domain specific information. See also context propagation.
Industry:Software
(1) An element of the CICS address space. It generally contains the control blocks for storage and contents supervision. See also high private area.<br />(2) In MVS, one or more segments associated with each virtual storage region that contain job-related system control blocks.
Industry:Software
(1) In DCE Remote Procedure Call (RPC), a set of encoding rules used for transmitting data over a network and for converting application data to and from different local data representations. See also abstract syntax.<br />(2) In OSI, a set of rules for the representation of user information while it is in transit between presentation layer entities. The transfer syntax is usually derived from the abstract syntax by use of encoding rules.
Industry:Software
(1) One or more words that together form a unit that is to be searched for in the content of a document.<br />(2) An ordered set of one or more consecutive COBOL character strings that forms part of a clause or a Procedure Division statement.
Industry:Software
(1) An enrollable item made available through the offerings catalog. These include course offerings, curriculums, learning events, and certificates.<br />(2) A logical unit of software packaging and sharing that has a managed development and maintenance life cycle and customer visible attributes (offering features, product IDs, licenses, maintenance contracts, and so forth). An offering is a serviceable software asset that is orderable by an IBM customer. It can be a collection of common components, assemblies, and other offerings. See also common component, feature, assembly, serviceable software asset.<br />(3) A template used to describe one or more services, with guaranteed service levels, which forms the basis for service level agreements (SLAs).
Industry:Software
(1) In DCE Remote Procedure Call (RPC), an opaque data structure that is generated by the DCE Interface Definition Language (IDL) compiler from an interface definition. It contains identifying and descriptive information about an RPC interface.<br />(2) Internet Protocol (IP) information that is used to transfer data in a network. Examples of IP information include an address, network mask, line description, line type, current status, maximum transmission unit, and type of service.
