Some Popular Phrases in Software Industry

The phrase “Web 2.0” was coined by O’Reilly executives in 2004 and refers to a change
in the way the web is used, from a static disseminator of information to a collaborative
platform for interactions.4 For example, an online encyclopaedia is a web 1.0 application
because it presents information to site visitors, but Wikipedia is Web 2.0 because
visitors actively contribute to the site, adding, removing, and modifying entries
according to their areas of expertise.

What is a mashup?
A mashup is a web-based application that combines two or more different sources of
content into a single view. A well constructed mashup creates a unified end-user
experience where the user isn’t even aware that data and visual elements come from
multiple sources. One popular example is Google and just-about-anything-you-can-
think-of. Like a Mashup that creates a list and supporting maps to all the hotels in
Hollywood frequented by the likes of Paris and J-Lo, or displays all the local Wi-Fi cafes
in your area.

Software as a service (SaaS, typically pronounced 'Sass') is a model of software

deployment where an application is hosted as a service provided to customers across
the Internet. By eliminating the need to install and run the application on the
customer's own computer, SaaS alleviates the customer's burden of software
maintenance, ongoing operation, and support.

Language Environment:
Routines that support starting and stopping programs, allocating storage,
communicating with programs written in different languages, and indicating and
handling conditions. Common library services, such as math services and date
and time services, that are commonly needed by programs running on the
system. These functions are supported through a library of callable services.
Language-specific portions of the run-time library. Because many language-
specific routines call Language Environment services, behavior is consistent
across languages.

standards, interoperability profiles, and the ability to send large amounts of binary data
efficiently. Reuse applications and deploy web services into CICS using a wider range of
programming languages and XML data types and attributes, with improvements to performance
and diagnostics. CICS is a transactional application server that enables execution of a complex
and demanding mixed-language application workload while efficiently integrating with SOA
enterprise solutions.

Connector Architecture 1.5 specification (JCA 1.5) which enables better applications to be
developed faster and more easily. With IBM CICS Transaction Gateway for zOS, you can use your
CICS communications area (COMMAREA)-based applications in comprehensive and
sophisticated Java™ and Web services solutions hosted on powerful application servers such as
IBM WebSphere® Application Server. Allows CICS applications rapidly to be service-enabled by
connecting them to new environments - such as the Enterprise Service Bus (ESB), the heart of an
SOA IBM CICS Transaction Gateway for zOS, Version 7.1, provides the highest quality of service.

execution-from user programs, system services and library routines to I/O devices and data sets-
allowing users. pinpointing the causes of excessive CPU consumption and wait time-in program
statements, system services, language runtime routines and I/O operations. reports show users which
program statements are calling resource-consumptive system services (such as MVS SVCs or coupling
facility modules) as well as resource-consumptive COBOL, PL/I, C, Java, CSP and LE runtime
routines. By describing the function each executed module performs, these reports help users gauge

log to see who is accessing or using data on the internal IT environment through the Internet.
analyzes SMF from the live SMF data sets or from extracted SMF data on tape or disk. can remember
the RACF user ID for each IBM Time Sharing Option (TSO) session, batch job or started task it finds
in SMF. Subsequently, SMF records from the same task are tagged with this information. This allows
you to create a comprehensive audit trail of a specific user ID from SMF, help you define a baseline for

IBM Tivoli Automated Tape Allocation Manager for z/OS: maximize usage of costly tape units
across images to minimize wait time and maximize availability. providing automatic and unattended
sharing of tape resources for optimal use across multiple images. Instead of dedicating tape devices to
a specific image, ATAM ensures that existing tape drives are available, on demand, for requests for
existing images. ATAM continually checks the tape units which it has been configured to manage,
and looks for opportunities to vary offline those units that are no longer in use. By doing this, ATAM
frees the devices for use as new requests come in for tape units. ATAM also works the request side of
tape management by instantly responding to requests for tape unit allocations without any required
operator intervention.

cartridge tapes. Build tapes composed of tape volumes from a number of places in the library. Ability
to filter by by volume, dataset name, tape creation date, pending scratch and previously created
copies before copying. Tape Optimizer on z/OS enables you to include tapes that have temporary I/O
errors or exclude tapes with perma­nent I/O errors to avoid copying tapes that are no longer useful for
recovery purposes. Copy large tape volumes to a VTS or high-density cartridge or submit a copy job
on more than one processor to distribute the CPU and I/O resource load. preserve tape media and
