, and Media Services, a user-defined storage site where media and containers can be stored awaiting reuse or movement to other locations.
location-based service (LBS)
A service offered to a user specifically because of where they are. For example, a restaurant app suggests restaurants close to the user by assessing where the user is, and presents the user with options without ever requiring the user to pick a neighborhood, city, state, and so on.
In NCS, a set of software including the Local Location Broker, the Global Location Broker, and the Location Broker Client Agent. The Location Broker maintains information about the locations of objects.
- A path from the adapter in the processor through the signal cables and fan out box, if there is one, to the device or workstation. The code consists of four fields of information: Drawer, Slot, Connector, and Port.
- The unique identifier that the shipper assigns to each location. See also standard point location code, Sterling TMS number.
The set of attributes of items that are defined in a location hierarchy spec. The attributes are properties of the relationship between an item and a specific location in a location hierarchy. Location data can reference attribute instances at higher locations in the hierarchy through location data inheritance. For example, the attribute "SalesPrice" might set a value for Europe and UK, but for France it might inherit the value set for Europe.
An explicit way to specify that a set of resource groups will always be online on the same node or on the same site, or that a set of resource groups will always be online on different nodes. Location policies can be combined with parent/child dependencies to have all children run on the same node while the parent runs on a different node, or to have all children run on different nodes for better performance. See also dependent resource groups, multitiered application, resource group.
A document in a Personal Address Book that contains communication and other location-specific settings used when users work with Notes in a specific place. Users can create as many location documents as needed.
A map or plan containing interactive areas that have been defined in the IBM Intelligent Operations Center. Events can be associated with one or more of these areas. For example, a diagram of seating areas in a major sports stadium can be defined so that events that have occurred can be associated with the appropriate area.
- In DFSMSrmm, a name given to a place for removable media that DFSMSrmm manages. A location name can be the name of a system-managed library, a storage location name, or the identifier for the shelf space outside a system-managed library or storage location.
- The unique name of a database server. An application uses the location name to access a DB2 database server. See also LU name.
An XPath expression that selects a set of nodes based on the evaluation of a series of navigation steps and filters, starting from the current context node. Navigation steps are separated by the / character. Steps can be expressed using a sequence of XML tags or abbreviations defined by XPath.
location service daemon
A component of the Remote Method Invocation and Internet Inter-ORB Protocol (RMI/IIOP) communication function that works with workload management to distribute RMI requests among application servers in a cell.
A feature that can be used to create differentiated services that are based on a user location. Location services involve collecting geolocational and WiFi data and transmitting this data to a server, where it can be used for executing business logic and analytics. Changes in the location data result in triggers being activated, which cause application logic to execute. See also geolocation.
A part of a search path that consists of an axis (either implied or explicit), an object test, and zero or more predicates. A search path can have multiple location steps. They are used to select a set of objects that function as the context in which to evaluate the next location step.
