See Table 1 for a list of these workspaces and conditions.
Table 1. Prerequisites for data display
Data is available in Only if
Common storage workspaces The Common Storage Area Analyzer (CSA Analyzer) is started.
Note: The CSA Analyzer is shipped and installed with OMEGAMON for z/OS. It is started as a separate started task.
Channel Path Activity workspace The Resource Measurement Facility (RMF) has been started.
GRS Ring Systems Data for Sysplex workspace The global resource serialization (GRS) complex is in ring mode. (If the complex is in star mode, the workspace shows only the name, status, and ring acceleration of each system.)
Cryptographic workspaces At least one IBM® cryptographic coprocessor is installed and configured.
DASD MVS Workspace and DASD MVS Devices Workspace The Resource Measurement Facility (RMF) is started.
Dynamic I/O device information OMEGAMON® Subsystem is running.
Tape Drives workspace OMEGAMON Subsystem is running.
4 Hour MSUs attribute in the System CPU Utilization workspace A defined capacity is used as a basis for pricing and the z/OS® system is not running as a guest on z/VM®.
Workspaces showing zIIP and zAAP (IFA) data Either:
  • System z® Application Assist Processors (zAAP) and Integrated Information Processors (zIIP) are configured on the systems , or:
  • the PROJECTCPU control in the SYS1.PARMLIB IEAOPTxx member is specified as YES.
LPAR cluster workspaces The z/OS system is not running as a guest on z/VM.
z/OS UNIX System Services attributes The address space where the OMEGAMON for z/OS product is running has SUPER USER authority. This level of authority is equivalent to root (UID=0).
Coupling facility, cross-system coupling facility, and system lock data collected by the Resource Measurement Facility (RMF) Distributed Data Server You have enabled use of RMF data collection as described in Enable RMF data collection, and RMF has been started.
Note: If you enable RMF data collection, the Paths Details Workspace (Enhanced 3270 user interface only) is based on new RMF-supplied data.
Near-term history attribute groups and workspaces You have enabled use of RMF data collection as described in Enable RMF data collection, and RMF has been started.
