When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

connectivity
Internally developed using D/2000 with IBM host connectivity
(I took 内政 as 内製.)
Situation:
A database resides in an IBM host computer.
This software system makes use of a computer network to connect to the IBM host.
This system is developed using D/2000--a database system development environment.
The meaning of 連携 is a 連携 between the IBM host and the client software developed with D/2000.

Let me rewrite the Situation part:
A database resides in an IBM host computer.
Client computers are connected to the host via a network.
Client computers run client programs that access the database in the host.
The client programs (and possibly the host system as well) are developed using D/2000 (a database system development environment).
This D/2000 environment can develop a system that can connect to (and work together with) an IBM host.

連携 means "working together in coordination", but "connectivity" sounds more natural in this context.
co-operation,collaberation
IBMホスト連携D/2000による内政）my guess is it is probably refering to IBM`s cooperating host ID#
Anybody agree with me out there??
