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 place (such as a database system, file, or directory) where data is stored.<br />(2) A data structure where documents are kept in their parsed form.
Industry:Software
(1) A connectivity topology that connects a series of systems or expansion units together. Signals can travel in either direction for optimized performance. Redundancy is provided to each unit by treating the connection as a string when a failure occurs somewhere in the loop.<br />(2) A sequence of instructions performed repeatedly.<br />(3) A closed unidirectional signal path connecting input and output devices to a system.<br />(4) A configuration of devices connected to the fabric by way of a fabric loop port (FL_port) interface card.<br />(5) The physical connection between a pair of device adapters in the ESS. See also device adapter.
Industry:Software
(1) A place in a program at which a check is made, or at which a recording of data is made to allow the program to be restarted in case of interruption.<br />(2) A point at which the database manager records internal status information on the log; the recovery process uses this information if the subsystem abnormally terminates.
Industry:Software
(1) A constraint that must be true at the completion of an operation.<br />(2) A textual description defining a constraint on the system when a use case has terminated.
Industry:Software
(1) A point in time when data is considered to be consistent. See also synchronization point.<br />(2) The point at which an application program commits that a section of work is done and that the data it has modified or created is consistent and complete. The application program's output, which has been held up to that time, is sent to its destinations, its input is removed from the message queues, and its database updates are confirmed and made available to other applications. A commit point occurs when a program terminates normally or when it issues a checkpoint call or command. If a program processes messages, a commit point may also occur when it retrieves a new message.
Industry:Software
(1) A container for the tasks that apply to each role that the user is assigned. The portfolio is the primary way in which a user's work is organized in the interface.<br />(2) The complete inventory of an organization's programs and projects, or both.
Industry:Software
(1) A pointer that keeps track of the current exception handler.<br />(2) A pointer used by the condition manager as it traverses the stack. The handle cursor points to the condition handler currently being invoked in the stack frame, whether it is a user-written condition handler or a condition handler specific to a high level language.
Industry:Software
(1) A continuous sequence of data elements being transmitted one character at a time, or intended for transmission, using a defined format.<br />(2) In the CVS team programming environment, a shared copy of application resources that is updated by development team members as they make changes. The stream represents the current state of the project.<br />(3) A method of topic partitioning that is used by applications that connect to MQSeries Publish/Subscribe SupportPac brokers.<br />(4) An object that specifies configuration rules for a UCM view.<br />(5) A file access object that allows access to an ordered sequence of characters, as described by the ISO C standard. Such objects can be created by the fdopen() or fopen() functions, and are associated with a file descriptor. A stream provides the additional services of user-selectable buffering and formatted input and output.
Industry:Software
(1) A pointer that tracks the current location at which the exception handler may resume processing after handling an exception.<br />(2) The point in an application at which execution should continue if a condition handler requests the resume action for a condition it is processing.
Industry:Software
(1) A control character that follows a write command in the 3270 data stream and provides control information for executing display and printer functions.<br />(2) A character used with a write-tye command to specify that a particular operation, or combination of operations, is to be performed at a display station or printer.
