OPERATING DIFFERENTIAL SUBSIDY. A grant provided by the Federal government to U.S. firms that operate American-built vessels over certain prescribed trade routes deemed essential to American commerce. The object of the subsidy is to reduce the net operating costs to American shipping firms so as to permit them to compete against lower-cost foreign operators.
A type of database that is updated often and only contains recently used information.
Operational Data Store. A set of integrated, scrubbed data without history or summarization provided for tactical decision support. ODSs are also commonly used to populate data warehouses and data marts . ()
Operational Data Store. An updateable set of integrated operational data used for enterprise- wide tactical decision-making. Contains live data, not snapshots, and has minimal history retained. A database used to provide a denormalized view of transactional ERP systems data. The denormalized view reduces the complexity of reporting requirements by giving end users the ability to use ad hoc reporting tools. The ODS is ERP-specific since it still uses the ERP systems' application values. Data transformations to enterprise values do not occur in this database. See EDS.
Operational Data Store. An exact copy, of both structure and data, from the operational system to the Data Warehouse. Not de-normalized. Primarily used as a source for building datagroups, or for special-purpose queries for Data Managers.
Operating Differential Subsidy. A payment to an American-flag carrier by the U.S. government to offset the difference in operating costs between U.S. and foreign vessels.
Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm
it stands for On-Disk Structure. It's the level of the internal structure of an IB database. For IB4.0, it was 8; for IB4.2, it was 8.2; for IB5.X, it was 9 and for IB6.0 it's 10. See the ODS table for more details.
Output Delivery System. a component of SAS software that can produce output in a variety of formats such as markup languages (HTML, XML), PDF, listing, RTF, Postscript, and SAS data sets.
Oxygen Depletion Sensor. Shuts off the heater if the oxygen level in the room depletes beneath a save level
Ozone Depleting Substances
Operational Data Store. A type of database that serves as an interim area for a data warehouse in order to store time-sensitive operational data that can be accessed quickly and efficiently. In contrast to a data warehouse, which contains large amounts of static data, an ODS contains small amounts of information that is updated through the course of business transactions. An ODS will perform numerous quick and simple queries on small amounts of data, whereas a data warehouse will perform complex queries on large amounts of data. An ODS contains only current operational data while a data warehouse contains both current and historical data.
Abbreviation for "Operating Differential Subsidy." An amount of money the U.S. government paid U.S. shipping companies that qualify for this subsidy. The intent was to help offset the higher subsidy. The intent was to help ofset the higher cost of operating a U.S.-flag vessel. The ODS program is administered by the U.S. Maritime Administration and is being phased out.
Microsoft's Open Data Services: the part of Wosa supporting access from Microsoft's SQL Server to a wide range of data sources and formats, including information from major mainframe databases.
Operational data store; a database that essentially mirrors a production data source and is used to offload query and reporting work from the production system.
An abbreviation for optical data storage. Learn more about ODS...
The acronym for an Operational Data Store. An integrated database of operational data. Its sources include legacy systems and it contains current or near-term data. An ODS may contain 30 to 60 days of information, while a data warehouse typically contains years of data.
A type of database that provides shared production data. Different from a data warehouse, the ODS is an alternative to having operational decision support system (DSS) applications access data directly from the database that supports transaction processing. The ODS tends to focus on the operational requirements of a particular business process (for example, customer service), and on the need to allow updates and propagate those updates back to the source operational system from which the data elements were obtained. The data warehouse, on the other hand, provides an architecture for decision makers to access data to perform strategic analysis, which often involves historical and cross-functional data and the need to support many applications. See data warehouse and DSS.
Operational data store. An integrated database that contains current or near-term operational data, i.e., usually 30 to 90 days of information.
Operational Data Store. the form that data warehouse takes in the operational environment. Operational data stores can be updated, do provide rapid and consistent time, and contain only a limited amount of historical data.
Ozone depleting substance. A family of man-made compounds that includes, but are not limited to, chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), bromofluorocarbons (halons), methyl chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, methyl bromide, and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs). These compounds have been shown to deplete stratospheric ozone, and therefore are typically referred to as ODSs.
The Operational Data Store (ODS) enables you to extract information from Banner, reorganize the information into a simplified format, and then store the information in the ODS database where end users can create and deploy operational and ad hoc reports. The ODS provides an extensive and flexible data store and business organized reporting views with fewer columns and improved performance. You can use these views alone, or in combination with other views.
