Change Sequence
A series of three-digit numbers (001 through 099) that define the order in which DFCOs (Design File Change Orders) have been published for a specific Design or File Folder. Each Change Sequence number is associated with one specific DFCO and with the specific file folder version number in use when the DFCO is published.
Cluster
A cluster is a group of servers that work together to provide a more scalable and reliable application than a single server.
Commodity
A class of goods that is in demand, that is supplied without qualitative differentiation regardless of supplier.
Computer-aided design (CAD)
The use of computer systems to assist in the creation, modification, analysis, or optimization of a design. CAD software is used to increase the productivity of the designer, improve the quality of design, improve communications through documentation, and to create a database for manufacturing. CAD output is often in the form of electronic files for print, machining, or other manufacturing operations.
Contract (Price)
This is a subclass of the Published Prices class. Contract prices are prices provided by the supplier for a specific item or manufacturer part. This price information applies only for the specified duration and can apply to any project.
Deliverable
A unit of work required for a project's success, usually fulfilled by generating a digital file. (Word processing documents, spreadsheet documents, PDFs, presentation documents, and so on.) Deliverables can also be Agile PLM objects and processes. Also called 'content' in Agile Product Portfolio Management.
Design Change Order (DCO)
A Change Order subclass that is available when the effected File Tab is enabled and provides access to all Agile PLM Workflow functions.
Design File Folder
An EC file folder that is integrated with CAD and PLM files, providing full access to PLM Workflow function.
Engineering Change Order (ECO)
An object that carries with it all the proposed changes to a product and/or its BOM. When approved and implemented, the proposed changes become effective.
Engineering Collaboration (EC)
An application that provides data and process integration between CAD applications and Agile PLM. It allows CAD designers and engineers to capture and control the data representing a primary source of the product record.
Extensible Markup Language (XML)
A markup language that defines a set of rules for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable
File Manager
The File Manager manages files in a repository or vault in the file system and provides a place to store and retrieve files locally or remotely. You can install it on the same server as the Agile Application Server or on a separate one. You can also install the File in a redundant configuration and/or distributed across geographic regions.
File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
A standard network protocol used to transfer computer files from one host to another host over a TCP-based network, such as the Internet.
Fully qualified file name
The exact name of a file on a computer that is completely specified such that it is unambiguous and cannot be mistaken for any other file on that system.
Fully qualified path name (FQPN)
The full path of a resource, directory or file, stored in a computer. It is composed by the full path to the resource and its syntax depends on the operating system.
Gantt Chart
A project management tool that shows project activities and schedule as a bar chart. The chart lists project activities in sequence, and presents critical information such as the start and end dates of each activity, as well as interdependencies between activities.
Item Master
The product record. It is the entire collection of Items - Parts, Documents, and any other user-defined subclasses of the Items class maintained under change control in the Agile system.
Java Message Service (JMS)
The Java Message Service (JMS) API is a Java Message Oriented Middleware (MOM) API for sending messages between two or more clients.
Java Network Launch Protocol (JNLP)
The JNLP file is a Java Network Launch Protocol descriptor. In computing, Java Web Start allows users to start the application software for the Java Platform directly from the Internet using a web browser. The JNLP protocol, defined with an XML schema, specifies how to launch the Java Web Start application
NCNR
Non-Cancelable Non Returnable. Applies to an item. NCNR can be a Yes or No, depending on the supplier. You can ask for the NCNR information in the supplier response. This is one of the critical factors in finding the best deal among the supplier responses.
Percent allocation or % allocation
The percentage of a resource's time allocated to a specific task or tasks in Agile Product Portfolio Management..
Percent complete or % complete
Amount of time and effort expended on a project measured as a percentage of the time and effort required to complete the whole project. Used in Agile Product Portfolio Management.
Product Definition eXchange (PDX)
A standard designed for the e-supply chain. This standard is based on the XML format because it provides a simple yet powerful and flexible way to encode structured data into a format that is both human- and computer-readable. In PLM, PDX packages contain product content, such as items.
Product Lifecycle Management (PLM)
The process of taking parts/documents from inception to production to phase-out, and all the stages in between.
Protocol
A system of digital rules or agreed-upon format for data exchange within or between devices. It determines the type of error checking and data compression used.
Published Price
This is a subclass of the Published Prices class. Published prices are prices provided by the suppliers in response to an RFQ and published from the project. The published price information can also be used in other projects.
Price
An object that carries with it all the proposed changes to a product and/or its BOM. It can be approved and implemented to make the proposed changes effective.
Price Change Order
It is an object that carries with it all the proposed changes to a price. It can be approved and implemented to make the proposed changes effective.
Quote history
A subclass of the Quote Histories class. Quote history prices are the stored prices from supplier responses that you can use. Any change in the response line of an RFQ is stored in the historical response and is usable at any time.
Repository Creation Utility
The Repository Creation Utility (RCU) creates database schemas that are required by the Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure software. You must run this utility before installing the Agile PLM application server component
Request for Information (RFI)
A material declaration that lists the parts in a product assembly and shows the substances and materials contained in the part.
Request for Quote (RFQ)
A standard business process whose purpose is to invite suppliers into a bidding process to bid on specific products or services.
Request for Proposal (RFP)
A solicitation, often made through a bidding process, by an agency or company interested in procuring a commodity, service or valuable asset, to potential suppliers.

Resource Pool
A group of users who can be bulk assigned as resources for a particular project or task in Agile Product Portfolio Management.
RFQ Response
A medium of communication between the user and the supplier. One response from a supplier can contain multiple response lines for different items. Price data is added to the project automatically when the supplier submits the response.
Schedule Editor
The scheduling engine that handles updates to the project schedule in Agile Product Portfolio Management.
Schema
In computer programming, a schema is the organization or structure for a database. The activity of data modeling leads to a schema.
