PARMGEN PTF UJ02017 for APAR OA58861 (1Q20)

Edit online

The PARMGEN PTF UJ02017 for APAR OA58861 (1Q20) provides configuration support for OMEGAMON enhanced 3270 user interface enhancements including multi-tenancy, cryptography, and improved messaging for security and logon events. Configuration support is also provided for enhancements in OMEGAMON for Networks for VTAM applications (VAPP) and for z/OS Encryption Readiness Technology (zERT). A syntax error has been corrected for IBM Z OMEGAMON Integration Monitor.

This PTF provides the following updates, listed by product or component:
OMEGAMON enhanced 3270 user interface
  • Configuration support for the multi-tenancy feature. The parameter MULTI=N has been added to the OMEGAMON enhanced 3270 user interface started task JCL. To enable multi-tenancy in your environment, you must change this setting to MULTI=Y.
  • Configuration support for improved messaging for security and logon events. The following parameters have been introduced:
    KOB_SAF_FAILURE=CONSOLE
    This parameter determines whether to echo security-related messages from the security product to the OMEGAMON enhanced 3270 user interface and SYSPRINT, as well as SYSLOG.
    KOB_SAF_LOGON_TRACE=YES
    This parameter allows the OMEGAMON enhanced 3270 user interface to trace the session logon process.
  • Cryptography support
OMEGAMON for Networks
Configuration support for enhancements around VTAM applications (VAPP) and for z/OS Encryption Readiness Technology (zERT). The following parameters have been introduced:
KN3_SNA_VTAM_APPS
This parameter determines whether to collect data for VTAM applications and sessions.
KN3_TCP_ZERT
This parameter determines whether to collect z/OS Encryption Readiness Technology (zERT) data for the system. This global parameter is for the entire system.
KN3_TCPXnn_OVRD_ZERT
This parameter determines whether to override the global collection setting for z/OS Encryption Readiness Technology (zERT) for this TCP/IP address space.
