SNMP messaging to discover the devices on your network and their availability. Simple Object Access Protocol The Simple Object Access Protocol is an XML-based interface that vendors use to bridge remote procedure calls between competing systems. SOAP makes it unnecessary for sites to choose between CORBA/Java/EJB and Microsoft's COM+. Because XML and SOAP are platformand language-neutral, users can mix operating systems, programming languages, and object architectures yet maintain business-component interoperability across platforms: using SOAP, applications can converse with each other and exchange data over the Internet, regardless of the platforms on which they run. single sign-on This feature lets IBM Tivoli Monitoring users start other Tivoli web-enabled applications from any Tivoli Enterprise Portal client (desktop, browser, or Java Web Start), or to start the portal client from those applications, without having to re-enter their user credentials (userid and password). For SSO to function, User Authentication must be configured through the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server for an external LDAP registry that is shared by all participating Tivoli applications. All the participating applications must be configured for SSO and must belong to the same security domain and realm. situation The set of monitored conditions running on a managed system that, when met, creates an event. A situation comprises an attribute, an operator such as greater than or equal to, and a value. It can be read as "If system_condition compared_to value is_true." An example of a situation is: "If CPU_usage > 90% TRUE." The expression "CPU_usage > 90%" is the situation condition. Situation Update Forwarder The Situation Update Forwarder is a Javaand CORBA-based background process for communication between IBM Tivoli Enterprise Console and a particular Tivoli 280 IBM Tivoli Monitoring: Troubleshooting Guide Enterprise Monitoring Server running under IBM Tivoli Monitoring version 6.1 and subsequent releases. Your site must install this component on the Tivoli Enterprise Console server; for instructions, see the IBM Tivoli Enterprise Console Installation Guide on the Tivoli Enterprise Console Information Center (http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/ infocenter/tivihelp/v3r1/topic/ com.ibm.itec.doc_3.9/welcome_nd.html) SNMP See Simple Network Management Protocol. SOAP See Simple Object Access Protocol. sockets Refers to the sockets method of passing data back and forth between a networked client and server or between program layers on the same computer. sound The WAV file that plays whenever a situation becomes true for the current Navigator item. Sound is assigned to the Navigator item for a situation in the same way a state is assigned. SPIPE A secure pipe is an implementation of the Internet Protocol's pipe specification that uses the Secure Sockets Layer API. Using SPIPE, your corporate web server can securely access internal servers that are not based on the HTTPS protocol, while retaining their ability to process HTTP requests. SQL See Structured Query Language. SSL See Secure Sockets Layer. SSM See System Service Monitors. SSO See single sign-on. state The severity of the situation event: critical, warning, or informational. Indicated by a colored event indicator, state is set in the Situation editor and can be different for different Navigator items. status The true or false condition of a situation. Structured Query Language A programming language for extracting information from and updating information within a relational database. The Query editor enables you to write
