(1) In SNA, the smallest amount of data that the system sends out on a communications line, consisting of a transmission header followed by a basic information unit or a basic information unit segment.<br />(2) In VTAM, data sent by the host according to the definition of the VPACING parameter that determines how many messages can be sent in a session to the VTAM application by another VTAM logical unit without requiring that an acknowledgment be sent.
Industry:Software
(1) A system program that provides queuing services to applications. It provides an application programming interface so that programs can access messages on the queues that the queue manager owns.<br />(2) An object that defines the attributes of a particular queue manager.

(1) In a file system, an actual path to an existing object. A hard link is established by creating a directory entry. A hard link cannot cross file systems.<br />(2) A named connection between an object and its parent directory. An object may have multiple named connections between itself and one or more parent directories.

(1) In SNA, the value (binary 1) of the conditional end bracket indicator in the request header (RH) of the last request of the last chain of a bracket; the value denotes the end of the bracket. See also end bracket.<br />(2) An SNA indicator in the request header, FMH5, denoting the end of a conversation between two transactions. See also begin bracket.
Industry:Software
(1) A system that runs application programs independently of another system. The exchange of data files or applications with another system is done manually, through portable media, such as diskette or tape.<br />(2) A DirectTalk system that is not part of a single system image (SSI). A stand-alone system is not connected to other DirectTalk systems, so it contains its own application and voice data.
Industry:Software
(1) In a generalization relationship, the specialization of another element, the parent.<br />(2) A node that is subordinate to another node in a tree structure. Only the root node is not a child.
Industry:Software
(1) In SNA, two or more concurrently active sessions between the same two logical units. Each session can have different session parameters.<br />(2) Two or more concurrently active sessions between the same two network addressable units using different pairs of network addresses or local-form session identifiers. Each session can have independent session parameters.<br />(3) A single intersystem link that can carry multiple independent sessions. Parallel sessions are supported by CICS intersystem communication (ISC).
Industry:Software
(1) A table on a direct access volume that describes the location, size and other characteristics of each data set on the volume. Each entry is a data set control block (DSCB).<br />(2) An area on a disk or diskette that describes the location, size, and other characteristics of each file, library, and folder on the disk or diskette.
Industry:Software
(1) In a graphical representation of data as a tree, a node that has no parents but typically has children.<br />(2) The common ancestor of all nodes in a set of nodes. There is only one root node for each XML instance document.
Industry:Software
(1) In SNADS, a list of entries in a table that the system uses to route a message or electronic mail to a user on the system. Each entry is made up of a destination group name (such as a department or organization) and a destination element name (the user ID of each person in that department or organization).<br />(2) In a point-to-point profile, a collection of path information through which hosts or networks can communicate with other hosts and networks.
