independently, without integrating the information into the enterprise-wide workspaces provided by OMEGAMON DE. OMEGAMON Monitoring Agent The software process that probes a managed z/OS system or subsystem (such as CICS) for data. The monitoring agent sends that monitoring information back to the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server and then on to the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server to be formatted into table and chart views for display on a Tivoli Enterprise Portal client. OMEGAMON Tivoli Event Adapter The OMEGAMON Tivoli Event Adapter invokes the Event Integration Facility API to synchronize IBM Tivoli Monitoring events with the IBM Tivoli Enterprise Console product. OTEA is a component of the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server; it forwards IBM Tivoli Monitoring events to Tivoli Enterprise Console and maps them to their corresponding Tivoli Enterprise Console event classes based on the situation name's suffix, either _Warning or _Critical. Integrating these products requires two parts: a Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server piece (included with IBM Tivoli Monitoring version 6.1 and subsequent releases) called the OMEGAMON Tivoli Event Adapter, and a Tivoli Enterprise Console piece called the Situation Update Forwarder (SUF) that is installed on the Tivoli Enterprise Console server. Open Database Connectivity A standard for accessing different database systems using procedural, non-object-based languages such as C. The Query editor enables you to write custom SQL queries for creating views that retrieve data from ODBC-compliant databases. OTEA See OMEGAMON Tivoli Event Adapter. PDS See Persistent Datastore. PerfMon See Performance Monitor Performance Monitor (PerfMon) The Windows Performance Monitor is an SNMP-based performance-monitoring tool for Windows environments. PerfMon 278 IBM Tivoli Monitoring: Troubleshooting Guide monitors network elements such as computers, routers, and switches. Persistent Datastore A set of z/OS data sets where IBM Tivoli Monitoring running on z/OS systems stores historical monitoring data. platform The operating system upon which the managed system is running, such as z/OS or Linux. The Navigator's Physical mapping places the platform level under the Enterprise level. policy A set of automated system processes that can perform actions, schedule work for users, or automate manual tasks, frequently in response to events. Policies are the IBM Tivoli Monitoring automation tool; they comprise a series of automated steps, called activities, whose order of execution you control. In most cases, a policy links a Take Action command to a situation that has turned true. When started, the policy's workflow progresses until all activities have been completed or until the Tivoli Enterprise Portal user manually stops the policy. You can create both policies that fully automate workflow strategies and those that require user intervention. As with situations, policies are distributed to the managed systems you want to monitor and to which you are sending commands. private situation A situation that is defined in an XML "privateconfiguration" file for the local Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Agent or Tivoli System Monitor Agent and does not interact with a Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server. Events are viewed through the Agent Service Interface or can be sent as EIF events or SNMP alerts to a receiver. See also situation. product code The three-letter code used by IBM Tivoli Monitoring to identify the product component. For example, the product code for IBM Tivoli Monitoring for WebSphere Application Server is KWE. Properties editor A multi-tabbed window for specifying the properties of the individual views that
