(1) A function of the DB2 Query Manager and SQL Development Kit for i5/OS licensed program that allows SQL statements to run dynamically instead of in batch mode. Every interactive SQL statement is read from the work station, prepared, and run dynamically.<br />(2) A set of SQL statements that is provided through an interface such as the Command Center or command line processor. These statements are processed as dynamic SQL statements. For example, an interactive SELECT statement can be processed dynamically using the DECLARE CURSOR, PREPARE, DESCRIBE, OPEN, FETCH, and CLOSE statements.
Industry:Software
(1) A server that manages the identity characteristics of users and servers for the purpose of provisioning software.<br />(2) The server on which Tivoli Provisioning Manager is installed.

(1) A function that assigns identifiers to transactions, monitors their progress, and takes responsibility for transaction completion and failure recovery.<br />(2) A software unit that coordinates the activities of resource managers by managing global transactions and coordinating the decision to commit them or roll them back.<br />(3) See sync point manager.
Industry:Software
(1) A server that receives requests intended for another server and that acts on the client's behalf (as the client's proxy) to obtain the requested service. A proxy server is often used when the client and the server are incompatible for direct connection. For example, the client is unable to meet the security authentication requirements of the server but should be permitted some services.<br />(2) A server that acts as an intermediary for HTTP Web requests that are hosted by an application or a Web server. A proxy server acts as a surrogate for the content servers in the enterprise.
Industry:Software
(1) A function that converts a message into a fixed string of digits.<br />(2) An algorithm that converts processing data into a string of bits; known as a hash value or a message digest.<br />(3) In cryptography, pertaining to a type of algorithm that can be applied to a buffer of data to produce a fixed string of digits. Cryptographic programs often apply one-way hash algorithms against a set of data and often compare the results with previously generated hash values.
Industry:Software
(1) A service element (IMS) that is backed up and that can initiate a takeover.<br />(2) A set of DBCTL subsystem identifiers of equivalent DBCTL subsystems, their associated job names, and the specific APPLIDs of the CICS systems that will use them. RSEs are defined by CICS resource definition macros and are held in the recoverable service table (RST). See also equivalent, recoverable service table.
Industry:Software
(1) A function that duplicates the semantics of another function, called a source function. Only scalar and aggregate functions can be sourced functions. See also function, routine.<br />(2) A function that is implemented by another built-in or user-defined function that is already known to the database manager. This function can be a scalar function or an aggregate function; it returns a single value from a set of values (for example, MAX or AVG). See also external function, SQL function, built-in function.
Industry:Software
(1) A service management process that helps to define customer requirements for information technology service availability, the capabilities of the IT infrastructure to deliver those levels of availability, and the actions that are needed to improved availability.<br />(2) In DFSMShsm, the process of ensuring that a current version (backup copy) of the installation's data sets resides on tape or a direct access storage device (DASD).
Industry:Software
(1) A function that exchanges control characters for actual data.<br />(2) A function that expands data to the length that precedes data compression.<br />(3) Process of restoring compressed data to its original state, so that it can be used again.
Industry:Software
(1) A service of a managed resource that includes the sensor and effector that are available to an autonomic manager. The autonomic manager uses the manageability interface to monitor and control the managed resource and any of its managed resources. See also autonomic control loop, effector, management topic, sensor, touchpoint.<br />(2) The composition of one or more manageability capability interfaces. (OASIS)
