Glossary
Event Definition Parameters that define what an event does. For example, you can tell the Oware
application that the event waits for incoming data from a remote database, then the
Oware application performs a certain action after it receives the data.
Event Instance A notification sent between two Oware components. An event instance is the action the
event performs per the event definition.
Event Template Defines how an event is handled.
Event Threshold Number of events within a given time frame that must occur before an alarm is raised.
Execution Center
(OEC)
This Oware center renders solutions by executing solution blades. It does this by
completing the application. It loads classes into the classes database, it and reads and
creates objects in the database.
Exporting Saving business objects, packages, or solution blades to a file for others to import.
FCAPS Fault Configuration Accounting Performance Security
Filter In network security, a filter is a program or section of code that is designed to examine
each input or output request for certain qualifying criteria and then process or forward it
accordingly.
Flavors OpenManage Network Manager deployment configurations that specify the number of
network services, virtualized network functions, etc. The deployment flavors are useful
when there is a need to scale in/out the number of instances to decrease/increase capacity,
respectively.
In an OpenStack configuration, flavors define resources, such as CPU, memory, and disk
space.
Form An interface that lets users interact with a solution blade. Users can use forms to enter
data, view data and/or events, and trigger rules and/or events in a solution blade.
Grammar Translates ASCII text communications between the solution blade and the external
systems via patterns built into the OCC Grammar Composer.
Growl A small pop-up message that appears in the upper right corner when you save an item,
when information is shown, or when there is an error. The growl only shows for a few
seconds. This message is also sent to the My Alerts list to view later.
Hypervisor Software that partitions the underlying physical resources and creates Virtual Machines
(VMs), and isolates the VMs from each other.
A hypervisor runs one or more virtual machines on a host machine, and each virtual
machine is called a guest machine. This allows multiple guest VMs to effectively share the
system’s physical resources, such as CPU cycles, memory space, network bandwidth, and
so on.
IDE Integrated Development Environment. A programing environment integrated into an
application.
IIOP Internet Inter-ORB Protocol. A protocol used to implement CORBA solutions over the
World Wide Web
Image A blueprint from which new VMs are deployed. An image captures the operating system,
applications, and their configuration settings. The image does not contain any sensitive
data (such as private keys and passwords).
