Predefining and managing OMEGAMON started tasks

If you are using System Automation for z/OS®, make sure the automation rules are defined to start and manage the OMEGAMON® started tasks. System Automation comes with an OMEGAMON policy that predefines these rules.

See the System Automation publications for information about the OMEGAMON policy.

The following table lists the OMEGAMON started tasks (default names have been used) and associated automation dependencies.

Table 1. OMEGAMON started tasks and automation dependencies

This table summarizes the steps necessary to integrate the management of OMEGAMON Monitoring Agents into your site's System Automation for z/OS rules.

Configuration Parameter Default started task name Description
Dependency on VTAM

VTAM must be running and the major node must be active.

KM2_CLASSIC_STC IBMM2RC IBM Z® OMEGAMON AI for z/OS (3270)
KC2_CCnn_CLASSIC_STC IBMOCx

(where x = 0, 1, 2, 3..15)

IBM Z OMEGAMON AI for CICS®

(where nn = 01, 02, 03..; 1 per 3270 Classic started task that can monitor multiple CICS regions per STC)

KI2_I1nn_CLASSIC_STC IBMOIx

(where x = 0, 1, 2, 3..99)

IBM® OMEGAMON for IMS on z/OS®

(where nn = 01, 02, 03..; 1 per 3270 Classic STC that monitors 1 IMS subsystem per STC)

KD2_CLASSIC_STC

(or GBL_DB2_KD2_CLASSIC_STC)

IBMO2 IBM Z OMEGAMON AI for Db2 (3270)
KDS_TEMS_STC IBMDS Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server
RTE_CANSETE_STC IBMETE OMEGAMON End-to-End
Dependency on TCP/IP

TCP/IP must be started, ready to accept binds, and able to resolve DNS names; this automation usually requires OMPROUTE.

KOB_TOM_STC IBMTOM IBM OMEGAMON enhanced 3270 user interface
KGW_AGT_STC IBMGW IBM Z OMEGAMON AI for CICS TG (Agent)
Dependency on Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server (IBMDS)

These tasks retry if they do not succeed in connecting to IBMDS. The dependency is optional.
