disconnect Since connections are transient, there is no concept of logging on or logging off. The HPDM
equivalent of logon is making a system usable by entering the correct settings. The HPDM
equivalent of logoff is making a system unusable by disconnecting (or invalidating any of its
other settings). Use the Disconnect function when you want the client application to continue
running, but you want to deny continued access to a system without having to remove the
system definition . See “Disconnect From a System” (page 27) .
favorite A favorite is a shortcut to an object on the navigation tree pane. Favorites are displayed in the
My Favorites
pane. Clicking a favorite enables you to navigate quickly to any object on the
tree pane that might otherwise require scrolling through and expanding numerous parent
objects. HPDM enables you to create favorites and organize them in folders.
LDAP Lightweight Directory Access Protocol. The protocol used on the Neoview platform for access
to standards-based electronic directory information. The Neoview security infrastructure
explicitly supports only integration with openLDAP-compliant directory servers and Microsoft
Active Directory. For more information about managing directory servers, see
“Manage Directory
Servers” (page 131) .
locally
authenticated
database user A database user whose credentials (name and password) are maintained and validated on the
Neoview platform. Such a user can log on even if no external directory server is running.

menu bar The menu bar is the list of commands at the top of the HPDM main window. The menu bar
commands are: File, Edit, Tools, Windows, and Help.
“See the Parts of the HPDM Interface”
(page 35) shows the menu bar.
Metric Miner A utility that allows you to create and manage reports from within HPDM. Like the SQL
Whiteboard, Metric Miner allows you to execute SQL statements from HPDM, but Metric Miner
is capable of running multiple reports at the same time and allows you to parameterize and
link the reports. For more information, see
“About Metric Miner” (page 219) . See also report .
Contrast with SQL Whiteboard .
MXAS2 MXAS2 is the component of NDCS that receives connection requests from the Neoview
Transporter and associates that requestor with a server to execute the requested database access.
