software is upgraded or moved, the hardware processor group is changed, additional license usage is added, or new software that requires license keys is purchased.
- See activation code.
The breadth of a license in terms of enterprise, site, machine, or partition. If discovered software is found within the scope of a license, then that license might be used for that discovered instance. See also license allocation.
See local identifier.
- One complete pass through the four phases of software development: inception, elaboration, construction and transition.
- The set of stages a document passes through in its lifetime, such as draft and review.
- The phases in a release. A lifecycle is a template for the stages of work in a release.
- Passage or transformation through different stages over time. For example markets, brands and offerings have lifecycles.
See last-in first-out.
The improvement in expected return, caused by the use of a classifier or model, over the improvement expected with no classification or prediction. The higher the lift, the better the classifier or model.
- A graphic character consisting of two or more characters joined together. For example, joining A and E form the ligature Æ. Ligatures are very common and important in Arabic.
- Two or more characters that are connected so they appear as one character. For example, ff and ffi are characters that can be presented as ligatures.
light API call
A client operation that only reads data. Light API calls use fewer resources than heavy API calls because they are performing a single function. See also heavy API call.
An unbuffered, unlogged insert operation. See also raw table.
- A system of LEDs that are above the control panel and on various internal components of the compute node.
- A technology that provides a lighted path to failed or failing components to expedite hardware repairs.
lightweight core file
An alternative to standard AIX core files. Core files produced in the Standardized Lightweight Corefile Format provide simple, process stack traces (listings of function calls that led to the error) and consume fewer system resources than traditional core files.
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)
An open protocol that uses TCP/IP to provide access to directories that support an X.500 model and that does not incur the resource requirements of the more complex X.500 Directory Access Protocol (DAP). For example, LDAP can be used to locate people, organizations, and other resources in an Internet or intranet directory. See also LDAP data source adapter, Lightweight Directory Access Protocol injection.
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol injection (LDAP injection)
An attack technique used to exploit websites that construct LDAP statements from user-supplied input. See also Lightweight Directory Access Protocol.
- A protocol that uses cryptography to support security in a distributed environment.
- An authentication framework that allows single sign-on across a set of web servers that fall within an Internet domain.
In social networking, to endorse something that has been posted, for example, a link or a status update. See also unlike.
Data sets that are allocated with one data definition (DD) name so that an application program can read them as if they were one data set. These data sets must have identical or compatible record formats and lengths.
See resolution score.
A means of allocating a specific number of job slots into which IBM Workload Scheduler is allowed to launch jobs. A job limit can be set foreach job stream, and for each workstation. For example, setting the workstation job limit to 25 permits IBM Workload Scheduler to have no more than 25 jobs running concurrently on the workstation.
A phase of the IPL sequence that takes place prior to full paging during which only the data on the load-source disk unit can be accessed by the normal Licensed Internal Code functions. See also full paging, prestatic paging, static paging.
A connection facility that causes a session traversing it to be terminated if no session activity is detected fo
