auxiliary storage pool, the user can set the
threshold level in the system values, and
the system notifies the system operator
when that level is reached.
Tivoli Data Warehouse
This member of the IBM Tivoli
Monitoring product family stores Tivoli
Monitoring agents' monitoring data in
separate relational database tables so you
can analyze historical trends using that
enterprise-wide data. Reports generated
from Tivoli Data Warehouse data provide
information about the availability and
performance of your monitored
environment over different periods of
time.
Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server
The host data-management component for
IBM Tivoli Monitoring. It receives and
stores data from either the agents or other
monitoring servers.
Tivoli Enterprise Portal
The client component of a Tivoli
Enterprise Portal Server. The Tivoli
Enterprise Portal provides the graphical
user interface into monitoring data
collected by the Tivoli Enterprise
Monitoring Server and prepared for user
display by the portal server. The Tivoli
Enterprise Portal comes in two versions:
the desktop client and the browser client.
Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server
The server you log onto and connect to
through the Tivoli Enterprise Portal client.
The portal server connects to the hub
Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server; it
enables retrieval, manipulation, and
analysis of data from your enterprise's
monitoring agents.
Tivoli Enterprise Web Services
An open standards-based interface to the
monitoring server that uses SOAP
requests. Using SOAP, any monitoring
agent can be dynamically queried, which
means that its performance and
availability data can be processed by
external applications not a part of IBM
Tivoli Monitoring.
Tivoli Management Services
An integrated, layered architecture
consisting of data-access, communication,
and presentation components that enable
cross-platform operation and integration

of enterprise-wide data for
systems-management applications. The
software foundation that supports the
development and operations of the Tivoli
Enterprise Monitoring Server, the Tivoli
Enterprise Portal Server and Tivoli
Enterprise Portal, and their monitoring
agents.
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol
An open, portable communications
protocol that is the software basis for the
Internet.
TSO Time Sharing Option, the interactive
interface into the z/OS operating system.
value of expression
A function in a situation condition, query
specification, or data view filter or
threshold that uses the raw value of an
attribute. A value can be a number, text
string, attribute, or modified attribute.
Use this function with any operator.
view A window pane, or frame, in a
workspace. It may contain data from an
agent in a chart or table, or it may contain
a terminal session or browser, for
example. A view can be split into two
separate, autonomous views.
warehouse proxy agent
One of the Tivoli Monitoring base agents,
the warehouse proxy agent passes data
from either a monitoring agent or the
Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server to the
Tivoli Data Warehouse. This
multi-threaded server process can handle
concurrent requests from multiple
monitoring agents to roll off data from
their short-term history files to the data
warehouse.
WAV file
Waveform audio format for storing sound
in files, developed jointly by Microsoft
and IBM.
wildcard
An * (asterisk) used to represent any
characters that may follow or precede
those entered, such as Sys* to find System
and SysTray. Used in formulas with the
VALUE function or MISSING function (in
the Missing Task List). Used also with the
SCAN function, but at the beginning of
the text as in *Z to find markZ and typeZ.
