'''Object Data Manager''' ('''ODM''') is a [[database management system]] and device configuration integrated into [[IBM]]'s [[AIX operating system]]. The ODM is unique to AIX compared to other [[UNIX]] [[operating system]]s. Data being managed by ODM is stored and maintained as [[Object (computer science)|objects]] with associated [[Attribute (computing)|attributes]]. Interaction of [[C (programming language)|C programming language]] applications with ODM is performed via [[application programming interface]] (API) [[Library (computing)|library]]; [[shell script]]s and users are provided with [[command-line]] utilities such us odmshow, odmadd, odmchange and odmdelete to deal with it.
Example of information stored in the ODM database are:
*[[Computer network|Network]] configuration
*[[Logical volume management]] configuration
*Installed [[software]] information
*Logical devices or [[software driver]]s
*List of all AIX supported devices
*Physical hardware devices installed and their configuration
*Menus, screens and commands that [[IBM AIX SMIT|SMIT]] uses
