OMEGAMON/IMS REQUIRES API MONITORING

IMS, when combined with z/OS Connect, has the capability to support IMS trxs calling an API. The API request goes thru z/OS Connect to where ever the API is to execute. In the meantime the IMS trx goes into a wait, waiting for the API response. Omegamon/IMS has no knowledge of the API so it shows the trx waiting in application code in the region. Omegamon/IMS MUST recognize API calls and show them in the trx status display. Same for the ATF trace, it can trace DLI and SQL and MQ calls, APIs do not show up. We have APIs going off into the cloud with a 5 second timeout. Omegamon/IMS shows us nothing about API processing. Please correct this deficiency and Omegamon/JVM is not the answer. Omegamon/JVM should have a 2 way link with Omegamon/IMS so the user can switch Omegamon products while tracking a problem.

    As for showing zCEE call in-flight on transaction status displays, this will be delivered in a separate PTF.

    Thanks for updating Omegamon/IMS and ATF to display API calls. Please confirm that Omegamon/IMS was updated so that API calls are shown in IMS transaction status displays, similar to showing the transaction is in a DLI call. Does the transaction status display now show the transaction is in API processing status? Thanks.

    The ATF enhancement to report z/OS Connect outbound API calls is now available: https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/apar/OA63793

    As for the 2-way link to Omegamon/JVM, this is being considered.
