Features, advantages and benefits
| Features | Advantages | Benefits |
|---|---|---|
| Enhanced 3270 User Interface | Presents color coded comprehensive views across multiple sysplex | Simplify and faster monitoring and management from a single view z/OS and subsystems |
| Built-in Problem Solving Scenarios | Based on customer input, User Interface built to focus on typical IT problems to all for faster finding and fixing of those problems | Increased system availability by finding problems before they become outages. Improved productivity by simplifying work required by SMEs to monitor and manage the mainframe |
| Tivoli Monitoring Installation, Configuration and Maintenance with new Self-Describing Agent and Parmgen support | Simplifies the set-up and configuration of OMEGAMON. Provides pre-configured parameters and fewer jobs to install and update | Saves SME time, provides faster installation, decreases the maintenance window and with fewer jobs decreases failures |
| Collect and summarize information about key resources, such as enqueue, I/O, CPU, paging rates, pool storage and buffer pool metrics | Helps achieve both granular and system-wide views of IMS operations | Measure resource usage and optimize transaction processing |
| Situation Editor to define complex thresholds, situations and alerts | Use automation to respond promptly to problems. See detailed information about what triggered the alert. Expert Advice suggests possible solutions based on industry best practices | Designed to help eliminate false alarms and promote sharing of skills; complex alerts can be created by and for novices and experts |
| Workspaces can be customized and stored to contain views of critical events and conditions with user-selectable charts and reports | Create Custom workspaces for special job functions | Improve productivity by providing each user only the information needed for their particular assignment or job |
New V5.1
IBM Tivoli OMEGAMON XE for IMS:
Introducing a significant redesign to OMEGAMON V5.1 family, based on high priority customer requirements. OMEGAMON is providing new capabilities designed for:
Improving problem resolution efficiency but requiring fewer steps to find a root cause performance impact in real time, and therefore providing higher availability.
Improving the visibility, control and automation with a new more comprehensive 3270-based user interface capable of viewing the entire enterprise-wide environment from a single 3270 screen.
Reducing the time required by IT personnel by leveraging Tivoli Monitoring functions including self describing agents and a new Parmgen methodology for installation, configuration and maintenance.
OMEGAMON XE for IMS Product Highlights
Allows subject matter experts responsible for IMS , such as system programmers, to combine information from multiple IMS subsystems (including CICS® , DB2® , z/OS , storage, messaging) into a single screen.
Features an enhanced 3270 user interface giving users the ability to effectively move between different IMS components; provides a common look and feel of command and control conditions with other IBM Tivoli OMEGAMON monitors.
Improves the overall ability for users to perform analytics by reducing the amount of data generated from performance metrics, with an option to organize the key performance indicators (KPIs) to be viewed based on what subject matter experts defined. This provides the ability to resolve problems on IMS subsystems and to follow interrelated problems from the same user interface.
Provides users with advanced problem determination assistance using focused
problem-solving scenarios designed by you. These scenarios put related data
needed for associated problems into context to help resolve today's performance and availability issues.
