make up a workspace, as well as the
general workspace properties.
pure event
A pure event is one that occurs
automatically, such as when a paper-out
condition occurs on the printer or when a
new log entry is written. Situations
written to notify you of pure events
remain true until they are manually
closed or automatically closed by an
UNTIL clause.
query A particular view of specified attributes of
selected instances of a set of
managed-object classes, arranged to
satisfy an end-user request. Queries are
written using SQL.
remote deployment
Using IBM Tivoli Monitoring software,
you can deploy agents and other
non-agent, Tivoli Management
Services-based components to remote
nodes without your having to sign onto
those nodes and perform the installation
and configuration steps yourself. Remote
deployment requires two pieces on the
destination node: (1) a bundle containing
the component code and the instructions
for installing and configuring it and (2) an
operating-system agent to read the bundle
and perform the installation and
configuration steps.
Remote Procedure Call
A protocol based on the Open Software
Foundation's Distributed Computing
Environment (DCE) that allows one
program to request services from a
program running on another computer in
a network. RPC uses the client/server
model: the requesting program is the
client, and the responding program is the
server. As with a local procedure call (also
known as a function call or a subroutine
call, an RPC is a synchronous operation:
the requesting program is suspended
until the remote procedure returns its
results.
remote Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server
A remote monitoring server collects
monitoring data from a subset of your
site's monitoring agents and passes its
collected data to the hub Tivoli Enterprise
Monitoring Server to be made available to
one or more Tivoli Enterprise Portal
clients through the Tivoli Enterprise
Portal Server, thereby creating an
enterprise-wide view.
RPC See Remote Procedure Call.
RTE See runtime environments.
runtime environments
A group of execution libraries that
provide an operational environment on a
z/OS system. RTEs execute OMEGAMON
products on a z/OS image.
runtime libraries
Libraries in the runtime environment that
the product uses when it is started and
running.
sample
The data that the monitoring agent
collects for the monitoring server instance.
The interval is the time between data
samplings.
sampled event
Sampled events happen when a situation
becomes true. Situations sample data at
regular intervals. When the situation
becomes true, it opens an event, which
gets closed automatically when the
situation goes back to false (or when you
close it manually).
Secure Sockets Layer
A security protocol for communication
privacy that provides secure client/server
conversations.
seed data
The product-provided situations,
templates, policies, and other sample data
included with a monitoring agent to
initialize the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring
Server's Enterprise Information Base.
Before you can use a monitoring agent,
the monitoring server to which it reports
must be seeded, that is, initialized with
application data.
server An application that satisfies data and
service requests from clients.
Simple Network Management Protocol
A TCP/IP transport protocol for
exchanging network management data
and controlling the monitoring of network
nodes in a TCP/IP environment. The
SNMP software protocol facilitates
communications between different types
of networks. IBM Tivoli Monitoring uses
