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.
(1) A method of sending and receiving data in which records are defined as a stream of data without boundaries.<br />(2) In MFS, the input mode in which fields are defined as a stream of data without record boundaries. See also input mode, record mode.
Industry:Software
(1) A CICS facility that provides support for inbound and outbound terminal requests from another CICS system connected by an advanced program-to-program communications (APPC) link.<br />(2) An intercommunication facility that allows terminals or logical units connected to one CICS region to initiate and to communicate with transactions in another CICS region within the same processor system or in another CICS system connected by an APPC link.
Industry:Software
(1) A method of starting CICS where all local resources are refreshed, but information relating to remote systems and resource managers is preserved.<br />(2) The process of starting a system or program using an initial program load procedure.<br />(3) A process in which the system is initialized. All jobs that were active or in the job queue at the time of the cold start are removed from the system. See also warm start.<br />(4) A process by which DB2 restarts without processing any log records. See also warm start.<br />(5) The starting of IMS when it is initialized for the first time or when some error condition prevents a warm or emergency restart. See also emergency restart, normal restart.
Industry:Software
(1) A CICS task that is eligible for dispatching by CICS.<br />(2) During emergency restart, a task that completed an LUW and started another, but that did not cause any records to be written to the system log during the second LUW.
Industry:Software
(1) A method of storing records in which each record belongs to a list or group of records and has a linking field for tracing the chain.<br />(2) In the Distributed Computing Environment (DCE), a mode of interaction optionally used by a directory system agent (DSA) that cannot perform an operation by itself. The DSA chains by invoking the operation in another DSA and then relaying the outcome to the original requester.
Industry:Software
(1) A circuit that increases the signal current for sending data over long cables or to many other circuits.<br />(2) A circuit that sends small electronic signals to a device.
Industry:Software
(1) A method of writing and reading data on magnetic tape as continuous fields without record boundaries.<br />(2) In object-oriented programming, the serialization of class information and object instance data.
Industry:Software
(1) A circular path on the surface of a disk or diskette on which information is magnetically recorded and from which recorded information is read.<br />(2) A unit of storage on a count-key-data (CKD) device that can be formatted to contain a number of data records. See also data record, track-descriptor record, home address.
Industry:Software
(1) A method that creates class instances.<br />(2) In Java, a method that is called without referring to a particular object. Class methods affect the class as a whole, not a particular instance of the class. See also instance method.
Industry:Software
(1) A class data type that contains an ordered group of data objects. Unlike an array, the data objects within a structure can have varied data types.<br />(2) A name that refers collectively to different types of DB2 objects, such as tables, databases, views, indexes, and table spaces.<br />(3) A series of elements that have been graded or ranked in some useful manner. In Business Integration Modeler, a graphical representation of the relationships between different real entities in an organization.<br />(4) A construct used to map and manage storage on a coupling facility.
