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) In OSI, the process of monitoring, coordinating, and controlling resources within open systems.<br />(2) In System Manager, all of the actions and procedures that accomplish the business support activity of making information systems services available. Information systems services include host, application, network, and data services.<br />(3) Functions in the application layer related to the management of Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) resources and their status across all layers of the OSI architecture.
Industry:Software
(1) Any command used to obtain or modify Management Information Base (MIB) variables.<br />(2) A CICSPlex SM command that affects one or more of the resources represented in a view. Action commands can be issued from either the COMM field in the control area of the information display or the COMMAND field in a displayed view.
Industry:Software
(1) In OSI, the process of obtaining identifiers for objects from the appropriate naming authorities. Registered identifiers should be obtained for the following objects, which relate to OSI Communications Subsystem operations: (a) NSAP addresses, (b) DTE addresses, (c) abstract syntaxes, (d) application contexts, and (e) application entities.<br />(2) In X.25, the process used between a DTE and a DCE to establish an agreement on which optional user facilities will be in effect. For example, the DTE can request that the DCE agree to or stop a previous agreement for an optional user facility. Also, a DCE can indicate which optional user facilities are available or which optional user facilities are currently in effect. The negotiation is accomplished through the exchange of registration packets.<br />(3) In SQL replication, the process of registering a DB2 table, view, or nickname as a replication source. See also subscription.<br />(4) The process of creating an object in the installation database that uniquely identifies the managed resource in the hosting environment.<br />(5) In Resource Recovery Services (RRS), the definition of a resource manager to the system.
Industry:Software
(1) Any launchable asset; the physical files that make up a course offering.<br />(2) In the Reusable Asset Specification (RAS), a section of an asset that contains a collection of artifacts providing a solution to a problem.<br />(3) The data semantics of a message that is received by the dynamic assembler.
Industry:Software
(1) In OSI, the representation of a layer on a given open system.<br />(2) A person, object, or concept about which information is stored.<br />(3) In markup languages such as XML, a collection of characters that can be referenced as a unit, for example to incorporate often-repeated text or special characters within a document.<br />(4) In object-oriented design, an item that can be treated as a unit and, often, as a member of a particular category or type. An entity can be a concrete thing or an abstract idea.<br />(5) A user, group, or resource that is defined to RACF.
Industry:Software
(1) Any object that is maintained by a remote DB2 subsystem (that is, by a DB2 subsystem other than the local one). A remote view, for example, is a view that is maintained by a remote DB2 subsystem. See also local.<br />(2) Pertaining to a system, program, or device that is accessed through a communication line.
Industry:Software
(1) In OSI, the service by which an open system can access directory information. Directory service can be provided locally within an open system, or it can be obtained from another open system using the directory service protocols defined by ISO/CCITT. In OSI Communications Subsystem, directory service is used to obtain the presentation address and other attributes of application entities.<br />(2) A component that provides naming, object storage, and lookup capabilities to other components.
Industry:Software
(1) Any of the following types of expressions: a) identifiers, b) parenthesized expressions, c) function calls, d) array element specifications, e) structure member specifications, or f) union member specifications.<br />(2) Literals, names, and names qualified by the :: (scope resolution) operator.<br />(3) The basic primitive structure of the XQuery language. Primary expressions include literals, variable references, context item expressions, constructors, and function calls. A primary expression can also be created by enclosing any expression in parentheses, which can help to control the precedence of operators.
Industry:Software
(1) In OSI, the technique of using a single network connection by multiple Transport Layer connections so that multiple associations can share the same line. Multiplexing is available only for transport classes 2 and 4.<br />(2) In data transmission, a function that permits two or more data sources to share a common transmission medium so that each data source has its own channel.
Industry:Software
An international encoding scheme that has full character data integrity with Unicode. ISO/IEC 10646 assigns 16 bits for each character, which can be used to represent most of the written languages in the world. The ISO/IEC 10646 character set is supported by System i products with a fixed character set.
