IBM mainframe system event management has been available with NetView® on z/OS® and System Automation tools for more than 30 years. However, in many data centers, mainframe events may not be integrated with the open system event management console. With today’s Web-to-mainframe composite business applications, and without end-to-end alert management, it may take considerable manual effort to isolate performance and availability problems. Service Management Center for System z® is IBM’s best practices approach for the integrated management of performance and availability events.
Effective monitoring, alerting and notification are important components of fast and efficient problem isolation. OMEGAMON® XE for z/OS, CICS®, IMS™, DB2®, storage, Mainframe Networks, Linux® for System z and WebSphere® MQ all include powerful alert and problem isolation capabilities. Join us for this complimentary teleconference and learn more about the various alert and problem notification capabilities of the OMEGAMON solution. The discussion will consider the variety of alert and notification alternatives supported by Tivoli® and OMEGAMON, including 3270 interface alert options, alerts using situations with the Tivoli Enterprise Portal, alert considerations with NetView and System Automation, and alert management integration and consolidation with Tivoli Netcool® OMNIbus. We’ll discuss how these various solutions fit into the Service Management Center for System z. We’ll also cover the pros and cons of the various alert options, and proven best practices for how to optimize alert management and monitoring in your environment.
Topics include:
- Best practices for integrating OMEGAMON alerts as part of the Service Management Center for System z
- Making OMEGAMON and System z events available to Tivoli OMNIbus and Netcool
- How Tivoli System Automation for z/OS and NetView for z/OS feed information to the Tivoli Enterprise Portal
