allows you to format a document as a
data structure. As program objects, such
documents can have their contents and
data hidden within the object, which
allows you to control who can manipulate
the document and how. In addition,
documents can carry with them the
object-oriented procedures called
methods. The XML standard aids in
exchanging data between applications and
users.
filter criteria
These limit the amount of information
returned to the data view in response to a
query. You can apply a prefilter to the
query to collect only certain data, or
apply a postfilter to the view properties
to show only certain data from the
information collected.
georeferenced map
A special type of graphic that has built-in
knowledge of latitude and longitude and
can be zoomed into and out of quickly.
The Tivoli Enterprise Portal uses
proprietary .IVL files generated with the
map-rendering component. These files
cannot be opened or saved in a graphic
editor.
GSKit The Global Security Toolkit provides SSL
(Secure Sockets Layer) processing within
protocols such as SPIPE and HTTPS. On
z/OS systems, GSKit is known as the
Integrated Cryptographic Service Facility,
or ICSF.
historical data management
The procedures applied to short-term
binary history files that roll off historical
data to either the Tivoli Data Warehouse
or to delimited text files (the krarloff
utility on UNIX or Windows; jobname
KPDXTRA for the z/OS Persistent
Datastore), and then delete entries in the
short-term history files over 24 hours old,
thereby making room for new entries.
hot standby
A redundant Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring
Server that, if the primary or hub should
fail, assumes the responsibilities of the
failed monitoring server.
HTTP The Hypertext Transfer Protocol is a suite
of Internet protocols that transfer and
display hypertext documents within web
browsers.
HTTP sessions
Data related to invocations of specific
Worldwide websites.
HTTPS
The Secure Hypertext Transport Protocol
is an implementation of the Hypertext
Transport Protocol (HTTP) that relies on
either the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) API
or the Transport Layer Security (TLS) API
to provide your users with secure access
to your site's web server. These APIs
encrypt and then decrypt user page
requests as well as the pages returned by
the Web server.
hub (1) A central host system that collects the
status of situations running on your
systems. (2) The Tivoli Enterprise
Monitoring Server that your site has
selected to act as the focal point to which
the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server and all
remote monitoring servers in this
monitored network connect. A remote
monitoring server passes its collected data
to the hub to be made available to clients,
creating an enterprise-wide view.
IBM Tivoli Monitoring
A client/server implementation for
monitoring enterprise-wide computer
networks that comprises a Tivoli
Enterprise Monitoring Server, an
application server known as the Tivoli
Enterprise Portal Server, one or more
Tivoli Enterprise Portal clients, and
multiple monitoring agents that collect
and distribute data to the monitoring
server.
IIOP See Internet Inter-ORB Protocol.
integral web server
A proprietary web server developed for
IBM Tivoli Monitoring that is installed
and configured automatically with the
Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server. You enter
the URL of the integral web server to start
the Tivoli Enterprise Portal client in
browser mode.
Internet Inter-ORB Protocol
An Internet communications protocol that
runs on distributed platforms. Using this
protocol, software programs written in
different programming languages and
running on distributed platforms can
communicate over the Internet.
