ata set or a series of concatenated partitioned data sets. See also partitioned data set extended.
- A repository for demountable recorded media, such as magnetic disks and magnetic tapes.
- A set of object modules that can be specified in a link command.
- In VSE, a collection of data stored in sublibraries on disk. A library consists of at least one sublibrary in which data is stored as members of various types such as phase, object module, or source book.
- A system object that serves as a directory to other objects. A library groups related objects, and allows users to find objects by name.
library-assigned document name (LADN)
A unique name, which includes a time stamp and a system name, that is assigned by a system in the office network to a document when it is filed in the document library. On i5/OS, the time-stamp part of the library-assigned document name is included in a 10-character name that becomes the document object name.
- A server that uses server-to-server communication to access a library that is managed by another storage management server. See also library manager.
- The component of a Content Manager system that provides a low-level programming interface for the library system. The library client includes APIs that are part of the software developer's kit.
Library Control System (LCS)
The component of the object access method (OAM) that is used in the support of tape libraries. The LCS also writes and reads objects on optical disk storage and manipulates the optical volumes on which the objects reside.
A system object that describes an IBM i Library, and is stored in the Rational Team Concert Jazz repository. Every library that a build process references must correspond to a library definition.
- The software application that controls all operations in an Automated Tape Library Dataserver (ATLDS) or in a file.
- A server that controls device operations when multiple storage management servers share a storage device. See also library client.
library manager database
A database that contains entries for all cartridges in the Automated Tape Library Dataserver (ATLDS) and the manual tape library (MTL) data server. Each entry contains volume serial number (VOLSER), category, physical location, and volume status information.
- See resource object.
- A named collection of records or statements in a library.
- In VSE, the smallest unit of data that can be stored in and retrieved from a sublibrary.
See member name.
library name space
An attribute that can be set for the current thread. The library name space is the set of objects and libraries that can be accessed in any independent disk pools in a disk pool group plus the libraries in the system disk pool and basic user disk pools (ASPs 2-32) using the regular library-qualified object name syntax.
- The component of a Content Manager system that stores, manages, and handles queries on items.
- In OnDemand, the workstation or node that users must go through to access the system. The library server controls the OnDemand database.
library user ASP
An auxiliary storage pool that contains libraries and folders. See also nonlibrary user ASP.

- A certificate of authorization that permits an individual to sell insurance products in a state.
Resources such as assets, partitions, users, and locations that a license is assigned to. See also license scope.
Licensed Internal Code (LIC)
The layered architecture below the machine interface (MI). The Licensed Internal Code is a proprietary system design that carries out many functions. These functions include but are not limited to storage management, pointers and addressing, program management functions, exception and event management, data functions, I/O managers, and security.
