Workspaces

OMEGAMON for z/OS provides two sets of predefined workspaces for the Tivoli Enterprise Portal: Sysplex-level and system-level. These workspaces provide data in tabular and graphic form and enable you to effectively monitor the availability, resource consumption and performance of your Sysplexes and their component z/OS systems.

The Sysplex Enterprise Overview workspace allows you to monitor the status and performance of your Sysplexes and shared resources at a glance. Additional Sysplex-level workspaces provide data on coupling facilities, global enqueues, GRS ring systems, report classes, service classes, resource groups, shared DASD groups, and cross-system coupling facilities (XCFs) used by each Sysplex.

The system-level workspaces report data on address space CPU utilization, storage usage and bottlenecks, channel activity, common storage usage, single image DASD device usage, Workload Manager service class resource usage, and LPAR cluster activity for the z/OS images that participate in the Sysplex. There are also workspaces that provide information about the status and configuration of any installed IBM cryptographic coprocessors and information about the use of UNIX System Services.

In addition to table and graph views, a workspace modified to contain other views, such as a notepad view, a browser session, an event console, a 3270 console, or a Take Action view that gives you the ability to send commands to the operator console.

The descriptions of each workspace apply to the default settings (the components of the workspace in its original configuration). Any changes or updates that you make to a workspace are not reflected in the description of the workspace. For more information about workspaces, and sorting and filtering table view data, see Using the predefined workspaces and the Tivoli Enterprise Portal online help.
