Configuring OMNIMON Base

OMNIMON Base is a set of common code that is used by several OMEGAMON components and the OMEGAMON Enhanced 3270 user interface to control initialization, security, and I/O for all sessions. You can also configure the components for functions like near-term history data collection.

About this task

OMNIMON Base has two components:
OMEGAMON Subsystem
A z/OS subsystem that runs in its own address space. The subsystem enables OMEGAMON components in other address spaces to monitor dynamic device activity. A single OMEGAMON Subsystem can support multiple OMEGAMON products on a single z/OS image. Some OMEGAMON monitoring products, such as OMEGAMON AI for Networks, do not use the OMEGAMON Subsystem.
OMEGAMON enhanced 3270 user interface
A 3270-based user interface that collects and displays data from the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server and OMEGAMON monitoring agents for z/OS. One instance of the interface must be installed in each Sysplex for use by all supporting agents.

Procedure

Configure the OMEGAMON Subsystem by modifying the following parameters.

  • For the OMEGAMON components that use ITM persistent datastore (PDS):
    Important: The content in this step, including the parameters, was created for and applies to the original persistent data store, referred to as PDS V1. A new PDS version (referred to as PDS V2) now exists. PDS V1 will eventually be deprecated. For information about configuring PDS V2, see Configuring PDS V2.
    • The LPAR RTE profile parameters in the following code sample control the ITM PDS settings for all products that collect ITM short-term history for the OMEGAMON Enhanced 3270 User Interface.
