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) An internal program that reads jobs from an input device or a database file and places them on a job queue.<br />(2) In RJE, a program that reads jobs from a database file or interactive display station and sends them to the host system.
Industry:Software
(1) In message queuing, a set of application programs that can each be connected to a different queue manager, but that collectively comprise a single application.<br />(2) An application made up of distinct components that are physically located on different computer systems, connected by a network. See also client/server.
Industry:Software
(1) Pertaining to user-specific data that has meaning only for connection-oriented (stream) sockets. The server generally receives stream data in the same order that it was sent. OOB data is received independent of its position in the stream (independent of the order in which it was sent).<br />(2) Pertaining to signals that are carried within the telephony signaling channel, as opposed to the voice channel. See also in-band.
Industry:Software
An interlanguage communication (ILC) application that includes two or more of the following programs or routines: a C routine, a COBOL program, a Fortran program, a PL/I routine, and an Assembler program.
Industry:Software
An intermediary server that lets a client access a target server to which the client is not connected. A mobile user can access multiple servers through a single phone connection; a LAN client can connect to servers running network protocols different from its own.
Industry:Software
An intermediate node in a transaction program network that uses the two-phase commit protocol.
Industry:Software
An intermediate result table that is the result of either an inner join or an outer join.
Industry:Software
(1) An Internet Protocol (IP) datagram that contains only a portion of the user data from a larger IP datagram.<br />(2) The smallest unit of file system disk space allocation. A fragment can be 512, 1024, 2048, or 4096 bytes in size. The fragment size is defined when a file system is created.<br />(3) The space allocated for an amount of data too small to require a full block. A fragment consists of one or more subblocks.
Industry:Software
(1) In multiprogramming, the environment in which high-priority programs are run. See also background.<br />(2) In TSO, the environment in which programs are swapped in and out of main storage to allow terminal users to share processing time.
Industry:Software
(1) Proprietary code that is usually delivered as microcode as part of an operating system. Firmware is more efficient than software loaded from an alterable medium and more adaptable to change than pure hardware circuitry. An example of firmware is the Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) in read-only memory (ROM) on a PC system board.<br />(2) An ordered set of microcode instructions and data stored in a hardware EPROM. When microcode software is installed in a hardware EPROM, it becomes firmware. Firmware cannot be modified by the user but can be updated by service personnel. See also microcode.
