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 Glossary 279
