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 a federated system, an identifier that is used in a distributed request to refer to an object at a remote data source. The objects that nicknames identify are referred to as data source objects. Examples of data source objects are tables, views, synonyms, table-structured files, and search algorithms. See also data source object.<br />(2) In the OSI Communications Subsystem licensed program, a 1- to 8-character name that identifies an object or entity in an OSI network. Nicknames are provided by OSI Communications Subsystem to enable users to use simple names instead of the often long, multipart, sometimes binary-coded identifiers required by OSI protocols.<br />(3) See alias.
Industry:Software
(1) In SNA, the control information that precedes a request unit.<br />(2) In SNA, a 3-byte header that precedes a request unit. The request header specifies the type of request unit and contains control information associated with that request unit. See also response header.
Industry:Software
(1) A system object that serves as a directory to other objects. A library groups related objects, and allows users to find objects by name.<br />(2) A repository for demountable recorded media, such as magnetic disks and magnetic tapes.<br />(3) A collection of model elements, including business items, processes, tasks, resources, and organizations.<br />(4) A partitioned data set or a series of concatenated partitioned data sets. See also partitioned data set extended.<br />(5) A Notes database that contains lists of links to other databases. Unlike a catalog, which lists all the Notes databases on a server, a library contains links to selected databases from one or several servers.<br />(6) A set of object modules that can be specified in a link command.
Industry:Software
(1) In a federated system, the association between the authorization ID at the federated server and the authorization ID at the data source. User mappings are needed so that distributed requests can be sent to the data source. See also user option.<br />(2) The association of Information Integrator for Content user IDs and passwords to corresponding user IDs and passwords in one or more content servers. User mapping enables single logon to Enterprise Information Portal and multiple content servers.
Industry:Software
(1) In SNA, the record sent to respond to a request. The response can be either positive or negative and can include control information.<br />(2) A message unit that acknowledges a request unit. It can contain prefix information received in a request unit.
Industry:Software
(1) A system object where changes made to data are recorded. The object created contains historical information about tasks, the database, messages, and notifications, which can be used to reconstruct a previous version of the data. The system-recognized identifier for the object type is *JRN.<br />(2) A chronological record of changes made in a set of data; the record can be used to reconstruct a previous version of the set.<br />(3) The destination pages from which a user can view all available historical information about tasks, the database, messages, and notifications.<br />(4) A feature of OS/400 that WebSphere MQ for iSeries uses to control updates to local objects. Each queue manager library contains a journal for that queue manager.
Industry:Software
(1) In a federated system, the database system catalog. The catalog contains information about objects in the federated database and at the data source. The catalog also contains information about the entire federated system. The information in the global catalog is used by the query optimizer to plan the best way to process SQL statements.<br />(2) A system data set in which CICS records CICS system information. See also local catalog.
Industry:Software
(1) In SNA, the remote participant in a session.<br />(2) An access point in the SNA network that is connected to the local DB2 for z/OS subsystem by way of a VTAM conversation.
Industry:Software
(1) A system of characters, symbols, or abbreviated expressions used to express technical facts or qualities.<br />(2) An XML construct that contains a note, a comment or an explanation about information in an XML file. A notation can be used to associate a binary description with an entity or attribute.
Industry:Software
(1) In a federated system, the mechanism that the federated server uses for operations such as connecting to a data source and retrieving data from it. To implement a wrapper, the federated server uses routines stored in a library called a wrapper module.<br />(2) An alternate and supported interface that hides unsupported data types required by a server object behind a thin intermediate server object.<br />(3) An object that encapsulates and delegates to another object to alter its interface or behavior in some way.
