Just a reminder that OMEGAMON XE for zOS (4.2.0 and 5.1.0) will use RMF to collect metrics like Coupling Facility, XCF and Locking.  This is a way to lower the OMEGAMON collection cpu used for customers already collecting this information with RMF.    We plan to continue to use RMF more over time for OMEGAMON collection.
