The agent discovers all services on its node.
One of the three standard privileges to an Oracle database.
A DBA can grant a user one or more of the database privileges.
An authorized user of an operating system or a product. Depending
on the operating system, may be referred to as ID, User ID, login, and
others. Accounts are often created and controlled by a system administrator.
One or more program modules used to achieve a specific result.
applications can be nested within other applications.
The process of verifying the identity of a user, device,
or other entity in a computer system, often as a prerequisite to allowing
access to resources in the system.
Permission given to a user, program, or process to access
resources in the system.
The creation of a copy (or copies) of existing data to enable
recovery of that data subsequently required.
Users specify a query to run in batch if they do not want
to stop work to wait for the results. The computer decides when to run
the query. Users can go back and look at the results of the query later.
A temporary storage place for database data that is currently
being accessed or changed by users or for data that Oracle Server requires
to support users. The term buffers (database) is used interchangeably with
cache.
To press and quickly release the left mouse button. You generally
use the click function to highlight items in a window. You click and hold
down the left mouse button primarily to make a choice within a choice.
For example, you may click and hold on a menu option to bring up a submenu,
and then release it after making a selection from the submenu.
A user, software application, or computer that requests the
service, data, or processing of another application or computer (the "server").
In a two-task environment, the client is the user process. In a network
environment, the client is the local user process and the server may be
local or remote.
A process that runs on the same computer as the OEM Console.
The process sends and receives information to and from the OEM Console
and the Oracle Intelligent Agent.
To access an Oracle database using a valid username and password.
Similar to logging on to an operating system using an account name and
password. You must connect if you want to create or modify queries or access
a display stored in a database.
1. Graphical user interface (GUI) that provides menus, toolbars,
launch palettes, and the framework to allow access to Oracle tools, plus
utilities available through other vendors. 2. A computer running either
Windows NT or Windows 95 operating system where Oracle Enterprise Manager
is installed. The console is also referred to as the OEM Console.
To bring an object (a table, block, field and others) into
existence, usually by defining its primary characteristics.
Allows you to manage the Console's communication daemon.
1. A set of operating system files, treated as a unit, in
which an Oracle Server stores a set of data dictionary tables and user
tables. A database requires three types of files: database files, redo
log files, and control files. 2. The disk space corresponding to this set
of files. 3. A subset of the database objects necessary to support a single
database application.
1. A person responsible for the operation and maintenance
of an Oracle Server or a database application. the database administrator
monitors its use in order to customize it to meet the needs of the local
community of users. 2. An Oracle username that has been given DBA privileges
and can perform database administrative functions. Usually the two meanings
coincide. There may be more than one DBA per site.
A unique name assigned to a connect descriptor in a TNSNAMES.ORA
file. The use of database names allows connect descriptors to be easily
referenced.
The category of SQL statements that define or delete database
objects such as tables or views. Examples are the CREATE, ALTER, and DROP
statements.
Dynamically linked library on a Windows NT/95 platform.
A file which contains all the database data. A datafile can
be associated with only one database.
A tool which allows you to transfer data in and out of an
Oracle database.
A value supplied by the system when a user does not specify
a required command parameter or qualifier.
The process of identifying services and adding them to the
Oracle Enterprise Manager Navigator.
An in-memory list of information about services and nodes.
A server that has been designated as a creation, distribution
and storage center for software packages and releases.
An occurrence associated with a service monitored by the
Intelligent Agent. Users select the events they want to monitor for and
register them with the Intelligent Agent.
Allows you to monitor specific event conditions that occur
in your network environment.
To write database data to files for the purpose of archiving
or moving data between operating systems or Oracle databases. To store
a copy of a module to a file or database.
A logical unit of database storage space allocation made
up of a number of contiguous data blocks.
A collection of data treated as a unit, such as a list, document,
index, note, set of procedures, and so on. Generally used to refer to data
stored on disks.
The name component of a file specification. A filename is
assigned by either the user or the system when the file itself is created.
An unscheduled job associated with a registered event by
an Oracle Enterprise user. When the event the fixit job is associated with
occurs, the job executes automatically to resolve the problem.
To give a user access to modules. Only a module's creator
can grant its access to other users.
A user-definable collection of similar objects such as databases,
listeners, Names Servers, or nodes that share a common location or function.
Optional structures associated with tables and clusters which
provide a fast access path to the data.
Combination of the background processes and memory buffers.
An Oracle instance has two types of processes: user processes and Oracle
Processes.
A declarative method of defining a rule for a column of a
table.
Provides a tree list of all the objects in a network, providing
a direct view of objects such as user-defined groups, nodes, listeners,
names servers, and databases, plus the objects that they contain.
A uniquely addressable computer attached to a network.
A process that interacts with the OEM Console's Communication
Daemon. The Agent receives and processes requests from the Communication
Daemon over SQLNET and RPC. The Agent can also communicate through SNMP
to an SNMP Master Agent allowing third party SNMP Monitoring stations to
access information about Oracle through Management Information Blocks (MIB).
A server process that performs work for user processes and
background processes that perform maintenance work for the Oracle Server.
A set of tables in an Oracle database which stores data and
information required by the OEM Console. The tables are owned by the account
that creates them.
A tool that will allow installation of OSM compliant software
remotely to other Windows NT servers or Windows clients.
A set of valuable Oracle tools integrated with the OEM Console
for monitoring and maintaining performance of Oracle databases. The Performance
Pack is purchased separately from Oracle Enterprise Manager.

Declares all public constructs of the package.
A set of SQL and PL/SQL statements grouped together to perform
a specific task.
A dialog box used to specify options when creating or altering
a composite instance, such as user or tablespace.
The queues are required for event and job scheduling. They are created the first time the agent starts up.
A set of files that protect altered database data in memory
that has not been written to the datafiles.
A set of tables in an Oracle database.
Named groups of related privileges that are granted to users
or other roles.
A portion of the database that records the actions of transactions
if the transaction should be rolled back (undone). Rollback segments are
used to provide read consistency, to rollback transactions, and to recover
the database.
A measure of how well the software or hardware product is
able to adapt to future business needs.
A named collection of schema objects, such as tables, views,
clusters, procedures, and packages.

stored procedures, synonyms, indexes, clusters, and database links.
A database object used to generate a serial list of unique
numbers for numeric columns of a database's tables.
A specific connection of a user to an Oracle instance via
a user process.

A read-only copy of a master table located on a remote node.
It is periodically refreshed to reflect changes made to the master table.

divided. A tablespace is used to group related logical structures together.
An industry standard string processing language for issuing

by the Intelligent Agent.
A description of the interconnections and relationships in
