Object Data Manager (ODM) is a database management system and device configuration integrated into IBM's AIX operating system.[1][2] Data being managed by ODM is stored and maintained as objects with associated attributes.[3] Interaction of C programming language applications with ODM is performed via application programming interface (API) library; shell scripts and users are provided with command-line utilities such us odmshow, odmadd, odmchange and odmdelete to deal with it. The ODM is analogous to the registry in Microsoft Windows.[4] SMIT and its associated AIX commands can query and modify information from the ODM.[5]

Example of information stored in the ODM database are:
