CUSTOMER BEST PRACTICE
The Best Practice policies allow a customer to define Best Practices that are specific
to a single node. The Best Practices are prefixed with CP (Customer Practice).
DATA DISCOVERY QUERY
A data discovery query is the display of information gathered in a collection dataset
according to a defined rule. There are five types of security rules/queries. The most
common is a value-based query, which compares an attribute of each item of
information gathered in the dataset to a specific value and displays the information if
the attribute matches the value. The orphan query compares a userid that is part of
the item of information to the list of users and aliases defined for the NonStop server
host, and displays the information if the userid cannot be found. The comparative
query displays the same attribute for each NonStop host represented in the dataset.
The distinct query is a query that looks for specific information or mismatching data
that is unexpected. The distinct comparisons query finds items that are missing or
different from one node to another.
DATASET
A dataset is the information that was gathered at one specific time according the
instructions defined by the collection to which the dataset belongs. All datasets that
have been gathered using the same criteria but at different times are part of the overall
collection.
DISTINCT QUERY
A distinct query is a query that distinctly looks for specific information or mismatching
data that is unexpected. For example; a duplicate binder timestamp between
programs. Binder timestamps are normally distinct, unless expected to be matching.
The other types of Rules/Queries are the comparative query, distinct comparison,
orphan query and the value-based query.
DISTINCT COMPARISON QUERY
A distinct comparison query is a query that distinctly looks for mismatching data
between nodes; for example, non-matched Safeguard Globals. A distinct comparison
retrieves like items that have different values plus items that are missing from one of
the nodes. The other types of Rules/Queries are the comparative query, distinct
query, orphan query, and the value-based query.
