Using the predefined workspaces

OMEGAMON for z/OS includes two sets of predefined workspaces for the Tivoli Enterprise Portal: Sysplex-level workspaces and system- (or LPAR-) level workspaces. In the Tivoli Enterprise Portal, these workspaces are accessed either directly from the physical Navigator view or through links from other workspaces.

In the Navigator, the Sysplex workspaces are listed under each managed Sysplex name, and the system workspaces are listed under each z/OS® managed system name. In a multiplex enterprise, the Navigator looks something like the following:

  • Enterprise icon Enterprise
  • plus sign Windows Systems
  • minus sign z/OS Systems
  •     minus sign SYSPLEX1:MVS:SYSPLEX
  •            Monitor icon Coupling Facility Policy Data for Sysplex
  •            Monitor icon Coupling Facility Structures Data for Sysplex
  •             . . .
  •         minus signicon of monitor and computer Sys1
  •              minus signFolder icon MVS Operating System
  •                   minus sign DEMOPLX:SYS1:MVSSYS
  •                          Monitor icon Address Space Overview
  •                          Monitor icon Channel Path Activity
  •          plus signicon of monitor and computer Sys2
  •        plus sign SYSPLEX2:MVS:SYSPLEX

Most of the predefined workspaces are capable of reporting historical data. However, you must configure and start historical data collection in order for historical data to be available for reporting (see Using historical data collection and reporting).
