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) An object that contains message descriptions. The system-recognized identifier for the object type is *MSGF.<br />(2) In CICS, the file holding the text of all CICS messages.<br />(3) A file containing messages sent in bulk through a message bulking service.
Industry:Software
(1) In object distribution, an entry in the network job table that specifies the system action required for incoming network jobs sent by a particular user or group of users. Each entry is identified by the user ID of the originating user or group.<br />(2) In CICS/VSE only, a facility for transmitting jobs (JCL and in-stream data sets), SYSOUT data sets, (job-oriented) operator commands and operator messages, and job accounting information from one computing system to another.<br />(3) A facility for linking single-processor systems or multi-access spool complexes into a processing network
Industry:Software
An internal component of IMS that manages buffers. The buffer handler maintains pools of buffers. When a buffer is needed, the buffer handler selects the buffer at the bottom of the use chain.
Industry:Software
An internal control block containing information about each network job entry (NJE) node.
Industry:Software
An internal control block containing information about each pair of nodes that is connected or recently disconnected.
Industry:Software
An internal control block within the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) address space.
Industry:Software
(1) In object-oriented design or programming, a service that can be requested at the boundary of an object. Operations include modifying an object or disclosing information about an object.<br />(2) A specific action (such as add, multiply, or shift) that the computer performs when requested.<br />(3) An implementation of functions or queries that an object might be called to perform. See also method.
Industry:Software
(1) An object that owns a thread and can initiate control activity.<br />(2) An instance of active class. See also active class.
Industry:Software
(1) In object-oriented programming, a class that represents a concept; classes derived from it represent implementations of the concept. An object cannot be constructed from an abstract class; that is, it cannot be instantiated. See also parent class, base class, concrete class.<br />(2) A class with at least one pure virtual function that is used as a base class for other classes.
Industry:Software
(1) An object that provides dynamic storage for a procedure. The object is part of the activation group and is deleted when the activation group is deleted.<br />(2) A logical grouping of memory that fulfills the needs of a particular component. For example, the utility heap memory is used by DB2 utilities such as backup, restore, and load.<br />(3) An area of storage that is allocated with a lifetime unrelated to the execution of the current routine. The heap consists of the initial heap segment and zero or more increments.<br />(4) In Java programming, a block of memory that the Java virtual machine (JVM) uses at run time to store Java objects. Java heap memory is managed by a garbage collector, which automatically de-allocates Java objects that are no longer in use.
