Company Profile:
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.
Pertaining to a system of numbers to the base 10. The decimal digits range from 0 through 9.
Industry:Software
In the OSI Communications Subsystem licensed program, a set of values that represent the communications services requested when establishing an association. If the application entity uses the presentation layer services, the application mode specifies both presentation layer and session layer values; if the application entity uses the session layer services, the application mode specifies session layer values only. The application mode also indicates the transport mode to be used for an association.
Industry:Software
In XRF, a series of processes by which the alternate CICS system monitors the active CICS system for a lapse of activity in order to detect potential failure conditions requiring a takeover. The active and alternate CICS systems use the CAVM surveillance mechanism to monitor each other's well-being.
Industry:Software
Pertaining to a system that operates using multiple interfaces (e.g. both text and speech). Multi-modal paradigm user interfaces (MMUIs) will be used in next-generation devices to allow interaction via voice, touch and keyboard input.
Industry:Software
In the OSI Communications Subsystem licensed program, a user-specified group of one or more lines used to establish network connections. When sending an outbound connection request, OSI Communications Subsystem selects a line from a line set. The line characteristics--such as line speed--of each line in a given line set should be similar.
Industry:Software
In XRF, a takeover initiated by the alternate CICS system when there was not an actual failure on the active CICS system. This might be due to an unusual system condition which, although not a true failure, slowed down the active system's participation in the surveillance process to the point where the alternate system believed that a failure on the active system had occurred.
Industry:Software
Pertaining to a task that is scheduled to update a physical segment of a database when another task is currently accessing that segment.
Industry:Software
In the OSI Communications Subsystem licensed program, the machine-readable form of an abstract syntax. The metatable is generated by the Abstract Syntax Checker and used by the OSI Communications Subsystem presentation layer to encode and decode data being exchanged.
Industry:Software
In XRF, the elapsed time between the occurrence of a failure, the completion of switching all terminals to the alternate CICS system, and the running of the first user transaction.
Industry:Software
Pertaining to a transaction in which only the application changing the data knows about the individual update requests until the transaction is complete.
