Product overview

The OMEGAMON® enhanced 3270 user interface (enhanced 3270UI) is the latest generation of user interfaces for the OMEGAMON monitoring products on z/OS®. Using the enhanced 3270UI in conjunction with OMEGAMON XE monitoring agents and the Tivoli® Enterprise Monitoring Server, you can monitor the performance of the z/OS systems, applications, and devices in your environment and identify and troubleshoot problems with those monitored resources.

In the interface, data is presented in workspaces. The monitoring products that support the enhanced 3270UI provide predefined workspaces that you can use to quickly and easily diagnose problems with monitored resources and take action to correct them. You can customize the workspaces to suit your requirements, and design and create your own workspaces and navigation.

Because the enhanced 3270UI exploits data collected by OMEGAMON XE monitoring agents, viewing data in the interface requires that at least one Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server is installed in your environment, in addition to any monitoring agents that support the interface. When you navigate to a workspace, one or more data queries are sent to the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server. The monitoring server collects the data from the target agent or agents and sends the data to the interface for display in the workspace.
