(1) A reference to a symbol, such as an entry point name, defined in another program or module.<br />(2) In a compare or merge session, a pointer to any object outside the item being compared or merged.
Industry:Software
(1) A device or program used to connect networks or systems with different network architectures.<br />(2) An entity that operates above the link layer and converts, when required, the interface and protocol used by one network into those used by another distinct network.<br />(3) Software that provides services between the endpoints and the rest of the Tivoli environment.<br />(4) A component of a Voice over Internet Protocol that provides a bridge between VoIP and circuit-switched environments.<br />(5) A middleware component that bridges Internet and intranet environments during Web service invocations.<br />(6) A ground-based link to a mobile satellite service network.<br />(7) An exit point from Partner Gateway that is used by Partner Gateway to deliver documents to a back-end system or a trading partner.
Industry:Software
(1) A register in which one operand of an operation can be stored and subsequently replaced by the result of that operation.<br />(2) A printer hardware feature that supplies a separate storage area to hold data in raster form. It can be used either for composing a sheet of data that combines a large amount of variable and constant data, or for storing an electronic overlay in raster form so that the overlay is merged with variable data as the page is printed.
Industry:Software
(1) A device that converts measurable elements of a physical process into data that is meaningful to a computer.<br />(2) Software that monitors security networks, applications, or systems for security-related information, possibly indicative of suspicious activity.<br />(3) An interface that exposes information about the state and state transitions of a managed resource. A sensor is used to retrieve data from a managed resource, whereas an effector is used to alter data in a managed resource. See also managed resource, effector, externalized data value, manageability interface, touchpoint.<br />(4) A program that reads information from a managed software system to create configuration information.
Industry:Software
(1) A relationship between a set of input data values and a set of result values that is used to extend and customize SQL or XQuery. Functions are invoked from elements of SQL statements such as the select list or the FROM clause and from XQuery as primary expressions. See also aggregate function, built-in function, external function, scalar function, sourced function, table function, user-defined function, SQL function, row function, routine.<br />(2) Any instruction or set of related instructions that perform a specific operation.<br />(3) A named group of statements that can be called and evaluated and can return a value to the calling statement. See also built-in function.<br />(4) In REXX, a series of instructions that a REXX procedure calls to perform a specific task and to return a value. The three types of routines that can be called as functions are internal, built-in, and external.<br />(5) In SQL, an operation that supplies a single value from another value or from a set of values. A function obtains a single value by applying the function name (for example, AVG) to the result of the expression (for example, column-name).<br />(6) A machine action such as carriage return or line feed.<br />(7) In ADSI, an ADSI instruction, or group of instructions.
Industry:Software
(1) A device that coordinates and controls the operation of one or more input/output devices (such as workstations) and synchronizes the operation of such devices with the operation of the system as a whole.<br />(2) Software that administrators use to perform remote control, file transfer, or chat functions.<br />(3) The functional component responsible for resource management (load balancing and admission control). The controller communicates with one or more data pumps to initiate and terminate connections to clients.
Industry:Software
(1) A relationship between two states indicating that an object in the first state performs certain specified actions and then enters the second state when a specified event occurs and specified conditions are satisfied. On such a change of state, the transition is said to fire.<br />(2) The phase of the software development life cycle in which the final product is completed and made available to users.<br />(3) In a business state machine, the connection between states that guards the execution between them. A transition recognizes an appropriate triggering operation, evaluates the conditions necessary for execution to flow through the transition, and determines the actions that can occur if execution is allowed.
Industry:Software
(1) A device that examines text, graphics, or bar code patterns and generates electrical signals corresponding to the pattern. It sends the signals to a computing device for processing.<br />(2) The software used to gather hardware information and software information from systems and devices.
Industry:Software
(1) A report based on data from the WebSphere Commerce database that is created in real time.<br />(2) A report that shows current information about data center inventory, activity, and system compliance.
Industry:Software
(1) A device that includes a selection of cartridges in a common (secure) area within access of one or more automated removable media (ARM).<br />(2) A set of equipment and facilities that support an installation's tape environment. The tape library can include tape storage racks, a set of tape drives, and a set of related tape volumes mounted on those drives. See also Automated Tape Library Dataserver, system-managed tape library, manual tape library.
