OMEGAMON Classic (3270) interface

Edit online

The older Classic 3270 interface requires the least amount of product-specific architecture to support. This interface performs well and is user-friendly to systems programmers and administrators that are familiar with an ISPF-based 3270 interface. Standard and custom PF Key settings, menu options, and command-line interface options allow for short cuts to commonly viewed screens. While basic customization options allow for highlights and other eye-catcher techniques to be added to the interface, the customization options are limited. The Classic 3270 interface uses dedicated connection features and avoid disk I/O. Documentation might be out-of-date or difficult to find.

The OMEGAMON® Classic (3270) interface does not provide plex data, cross-LPAR monitoring, or cross-product views. However, you can get limited multisystem monitoring and cross-system views using OMEGAMON DE. The following OMEGAMON products provide older Classic 3270 interfaces:
  • IBM Z® OMEGAMON AI for z/OS
  • IBM Z OMEGAMON AI for CICS®
  • IBM Z OMEGAMON AI for Db2
  • IBM® OMEGAMON for IMS on z/OS
  • IBM OMEGAMON for Messaging on z/OS
  • IBM Z OMEGAMON AI for Storage
  • IBM Z OMEGAMON AI for Networks
OMEGAMON AI for z/OS and OMEGAMON AI for Storage require more infrastructure than the other agents: a Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server must be installed in the same runtime environment as each monitoring agent and the OMEGAMON component to be configured. (While the OMEGAMON AI for z/OS agent can be configured to run as a stand-alone system, that is, outside of a monitoring server, such a configuration does not support plex data.)

The other agents do not require either a portal server or a monitoring server.
