Workload Manager (WLM) settings for the OMEGAMON tasks

The various started tasks created during the configuration process have varying levels of priority. Some started tasks, typically the data collecting monitoring agents, require a high priority to enable the ability to make requests for data.

The following table lists the OMEGAMON® started tasks (default names have been used) and indicates the priority level to use to allocate these tasks:

Table 1. OMEGAMON started tasks by priority group

This table summarizes the integration of the OMEGAMON Monitoring Agents into your site's Workload Manager settings.

Configuration Parameter Default started task name Description
Group 1: Collector tasks

This group of tasks need high priority. For example, the priority of IBMOCx must be at least as high as that of CICS, and IBMM2RC is typically at the same level as JES2/3. SYSSTC is the most suitable priority level for this group of tasks.

Group 2: OMEGAMON tasks

This group of tasks also need high priority. SYSSTC or STCHIGH are suitable priority levels for this group of tasks.

Group 3: Maintenance tasks for historical data sets

This group of tasks can be low-priority because they are started only when needed and they run for a short time.

KM2_HIST_PROC_PRIMARY_STC IBMM2HP IBM Z OMEGAMON AI for z/OS (3270) Historical maintenance (primary)
