Omegamon subsystem and z/OS history handling - store data in one or more permanent datasets with restart-point (reduce time)

When the loading LPAR (RMF/DDS data) will be IPLed or the Omegamon subsystem (OMIOSUB) goes down its dataspace is lost and another OMIOSUB in the Sysplex loads the same volume of data again with high CP CPU% and long loading times. Therefore store...

Omegamon subsystem and z/OS history handling - store data in one or more permanent datasets (reduce memory consumption)

Reduce the Memory-Consumption of Omegamon Subsystem because of its history in dataspace. LPAR requires 12-16 GByte for storing 120 hours of data for our sysplex.

Omegamon subsystem and z/OS history handling - loading newest data first

For large Sysplexes with many LPARs it last from 90 till 150 minutes of loading-time for the Omegamon subsystem dataspace. Meanwhile there's no history in the e3270ui (TOM) available.

Control who will be proxy of proxies, in an environment where there are several sysplex (each one with his own proxy)

There is no way to control which Sysplex Proxy TEMS becomes (or can become) the PLEXVIEW proxy. It is done on a first arrive first serve basis. Every Sysplex proxy TEMS checks on a regular basis to see if there is a PLEXVIEW proxy. If there isn't,...

OMEGAMON JOB Dataset Allocation

Enable OMEGAMON for z/OS e3270ui and TEP the ability to give Dataset Allocation for specific JOB, just like OMEGAMON for z/OS Classsic interface does. This is very usefull when we need to analysis in real time the datasets during a JOB execution.

Omegamon z/OS - zIIP and IFL information

We would like to have the zIIP and IFL information on the Omegamon z/OS like this:- Percent of zIIP and IFL utilization (total and per LPAR- How many zIIP and IFL processors are active on system Z

Allow to cancel a session of a e3270 user

Currently, if a e3270 user hangs there is no way to remove it from the panel of connected users. In addition, if the same user connects again, its userId appears twice in the list of connected users. There is no way to get rid of the instance corr...

Omegamon XE on z/OS subsystem should be able to choose working with specific RMF

Omegamon z/OS subsystem (nearterm history) automatically connects to the first available RMF DDS in a sysplex. In case there are more than one DDS instances, it's currently not possible to have the Omegamon subsystem to connect to a specific DDS.T...
