Have Omegamon for z/OS show JES2 spool details for multiple JES2 subsystems

We have a number of LPARs running more than one JES2 subsystem. Currently we can only setup alerts (example: Spool reaching x% full) for the primary JES2 subsystem. The other JES2 subsystem(s) are invisible in Omegamon for z/OS and so no alert can...

Support VTAM generic resources function to allow a balanced increase of concurrent users in e3270

The theoretical maximum number of concurrent users on e3270ui is 99. However, depending on storage layout, and constraints, the actual maximum number is lower (around 50-70). This limit may occasionally be too low. In particular, in the test/devel...

Omegamon for z/OS to display SHARED and DEDICATED utilization for all processors types i.e. GCPs, zIIPs, IFLs and ICFs

How to monitor CPU usage when having a mix of shared and dedicated processors. We have a setup where we are using shared IFLs for our z/VM LPARs running our Linux on Z workloads, and we have dedicated IFLs for our SSC LPAR running the IDAA on Z. I...

RMF CPC Report Retrieval Reliabilty Improvements

To obtain CPC-level metrics for all LPARs running on a CPC the OMEGAMON PlexView agent KM5PDAG issues a system level query that drives a system level agent (KM5LDAG) on an RTEMS selected from an internally built list of all M5 RTEMSs running on th...

Workspace with an enterprise overview about the current status for each CPC RMF DDS CPC report

We need a workspace that shows the current RTEMS selected for each CPC's RMF DDS CPC report retrieval. With that overview it would be easier to anaylse communication issues and prevent switching on the PlexView agent tracing to provide a friendly ...
