Real storage ( For Program execution)
Auxiliary storage (DASD)
Virtual storage (Address space,
combination of above two)
The address space conceptThe address space concept
•Virtual storage is divided into 4-kilobyte pages
•Transfer of pages between auxiliary storage
and real storage is called paging
•Swapping is one of several methods that z/OS
uses to balance the system workload and ensure
that an adequate supply of available real storage
frames is maintained.
Swapping has the effect of moving an entire
address space into, or out of, real storage
• z/OS provides each user with a unique address
space and maintains the distinction between the
programs and data belonging to each address
space.

23. Some Popular Phrases in Software IndustrySome 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.

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

IBM Tivoli zSecure CICS Toolkit: Help increase productivity and efficiency by decentralizing basic RACF
security commands to CICS terminals, Extend security controls and security administration of CICS
applications to RACF by leveraging a sophisticated API. Manage RACF security administration through CICS
applications. enables users to stay within the CICS application, rather than forcing them into another
environment, such as time sharing option (TSO) or interactive system productivity facility (ISPF) screens, to
issue security commands to the mainframe. If you have an application on your Web server that communicates
with CICS on your mainframe, your CICS application can use the advanced COBOL application programming
interface (API) capabilities in Tivoli zSecure CICS Toolkit to execute select RACF security functions. Web
application can then use this information to configure the menu shown to the user, using the security functions
in RACF to control your Web server and Web applications.

rules, TSS Access or IDs (ACIDs)/TSS permits, RACF access lists and ACF2 rule entries, Flawed settings,
Exceptions, such as changes to the z/OS parameters, profiles and options, system and user libraries, and
customized, installation-specific items. Generate reports in XML format. Exploit workstation scrolling
capabilities, Save reports directly on the Web server, thus allowing the reports to be accessible through the
intranet. can also analyze the HTTP access and error 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 RACF and ACF2 security parameters, as well as find indicators, such as profiles and parameters, that differ
from the baseline.

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.
