Action Block: A feature of Storage Manager that allow the sharing of specific policy options between multiple policies. With the release of Storage Manager 5.0, you can create Action Blocks for policy-based vaulting, policy-based grooming, and non-policy-based grooming.
Associated policy: A policy specifically assigned to a container, group, or user through the Associations settings in the Policy Editor.
Auxiliary policy: A policy associated with a User Home Folder policy that creates auxiliary storage for a user (along with the user home folder that is created from a user home folder policy) when a new user is created in Active Directory.
Auxiliary storage: Home folders associated to a user in addition to the regular network home folder. Depending on the storage policy, auxiliary storage can be made accessible or unaccessible to the associated user.
Blocking policy: A policy designed to block other Storage Manager policies from affecting members of organizational units, members of groups, or even individual users.
Consistency check: This Management Action notifies you of inconsistencies or potential problems pertaining to user and group storage being managed through Storage Manager. These potential problems might be missing storage quotas, inconsistent directory attributes, missing home directories, inconsistent file paths, and more.
Container: A synonym for organizational unit in the Micro Focus Storage Manager documentation.
Collaborative storage: A shared storage area where a group of people in an organization can collaborate by accessing files. Storage Manager lets you easily create collaborative storage areas through collaborative storage policies that you can assign to Group objects or to an organizational unit.
Cross-Empire Data Migration: Separately-purchased susbsystems of Storage Manager that allow for the movement of file system data, along with associated permissions, and metadata, between storage infrastructures on different platforms or different Active Directory forests. There is a Cross-Empire Data Migration offering from eDirectory to Active Directory, and another from Active Directory to Active Directory.
Deferred delete event: The scheduled deletion of a managed path, but has not yet taken place because the number of days in the Cleanup Storage parameter of the policy has not been met.
Dynamic Template Processing: Within Storage Manager, the process that creates personal folders in a collaborative storage folder.
Effective policy: A policy that is applied by default to a group, user, or subcontainer when no associated policy is specifically assigned.
Enumeration operation: The process of locating and displaying all objects.
Identity map: Within the Cross-Empire Data Migration subsystem, the mechanism that lets you make security and ownership associations between the source and the target.
Managed Path: A location that Storage Manager manages in an automated fashion for any of the following: Home folder, Profile path, Remote Desktop Services Home folder, Remote Desktop Services Profile path, Collaborative storage (group and container), and Auxiliary storage.
Management Action: A manual action that allows you to enact a setting from a policy on existing users.
Operation: An action performed in Storage Manager that is not tied to a policy. At the present time, Storage Manager can perform Vault and Groom operations.
Personal folder: A user-specific folder in a collaborative storage area.
Policy: Rules and settings within Storage Manager that indicate what storage-specific actions to enact when an event in Active Directory takes place. These actions include creating user storage when a new user is added to Active Directory, moving storage when a user is moved from one organizational unit to another, and archiving or deleting storage when a user is removed.
Policy weight: When a user is a member of multiple groups and each group has a separate policy, Storage Manager uses this setting to determine which policies to apply. Storage Manager applies the policy with the largest numerical weight.
Quota Manager: A Web browser-based management interface for designated users such as help desk administrators or support personnel that enables them to adjust quota on user home folder or collaborative storage areas without needing rights to the file system. Quota Manager can also provide select storage information such as total number of files and file types in a home folder.
SMAdmin: The management interface for Storage Manager.
Target Path: The path to the network share where managed paths are hosted.
Template: If you want to have subfolders and documents provisioned in a home folder, auxiliary storage folder, or collaborative storage folder when they are created, you can use an existing path in the file system as a template.
Work Log: An optional mechanism that maintains a history of Storage Manager events. The Work Log contains summary records for events that have reached the processed state; in other words, those for which an effective policy has been calculated and run to completion or have been aborted by administrative action.
