situations and policies that use that list
are redistributed to all managed systems
in the list.
MBeans
Managed beans are Java objects that
represent managed resources such as
devices, services, and applications. The
management functions are provided by
the MBean server.
Microsoft Management Console
This feature of Microsoft's various
Windows Server environments provides a
centralized, consistent, and extensible
interface to Windows' various monitoring
and management utilities. In particular,
MMC manages directory services, job
scheduling, event logging, performance
monitoring, and user environments.
middleware
Software that enables the exchange of
information between components in a
distributed computing environment. The
middleware is the data-exchange and
communications channel that allows
programs to cooperate with each other
without having to know details about
how they are implemented or where they
are deployed. Middleware typically
provides a range of related facilities such
as persistence, auditing, and the ability to
build a transactional unit of work. IBM's
CICS and WebSphere MQ are examples of
middleware.
migrating
Preserving your customized configuration
data so that you can use it again after
installing a newer version of the product.
MMC See Microsoft Management Console.
monitor interval
A specified time, scalable to seconds,
minutes, hours, or days, for how often the
Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server
checks to see if a situation has become
true. The minimum monitor interval is 30
seconds; the default is 15 minutes.
NAT See Network Address Translation.
Navigator
The upper-left pane of the Tivoli
Enterprise Portal window. The Navigator
Physical view shows your network
enterprise as a physical hierarchy of
systems grouped by platform. You can
also create other views to create logical
hierarchies grouped as you specify, such
as by department or function.
Network Address Translation
A scheme used by local-area networks
(LANs) to establish an internal and
external set of IP addresses. Internal IP
addresses are kept private and must be
translated to and from the external
addresses for outbound and inbound
communications. NAT is often used in
firewall configurations.
node (1) One computer in a computer network.
(2) Any managed system, such as an
AIX-based pSeries server, that IBM Tivoli
Monitoring is monitoring. A node can
also be a managed system of subnodes,
all of which are being managed as
components of the primary node.
non-agent bundles
These custom bundles let you remotely
deploy components that need not connect
to a Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server,
such as those that support other Tivoli
products like Netcool/OMNIbus.
object An instance of a class, which comprises
an implementation and an interface. An
object reflects its original, holding data
and methods and responds to requests for
services. CORBA defines an object as a
combination of state and a set of methods
characterized by the behavior of relevant
requests.
ODBC
See Open Database Connectivity.
OMEGAMON Dashboard Edition ( DE)
The OMEGAMON implementation that
includes all the features of the Tivoli
Enterprise Portal provided with
OMEGAMON XE, plus
application-integration components that
facilitate an enterprise-wide view of your
computing environment. OMEGAMON
DE's workspaces integrate the data from
multiple OMEGAMON Monitoring
Agents into one network-wide view.
OMEGAMON Extended Edition ( XE)
The IBM Tivoli Monitoring
implementation of a single OMEGAMON
monitoring agent. OMEGAMON XE
displays the monitoring data from each
OMEGAMON monitoring agent
