  • The Cmd field allows you to display specific information for each system. The following command code is available:
    B
    Creates a new session with the appropriate OMEGAMON, if it does not already exist, that is, the session status is INACTIVE or MAINT. After successful session creation, the session status is ACTIVE. The session remains active until it is stopped, either explicitly (using command code C), or implicitly by NetView on behalf of OMEGAMON or session task termination.
    C
    Destroys the session with the appropriate OMEGAMON. The session status will be changed to MAINT. The session is disabled so as to prevent it from being created implicitly again.
    D
    Displays details for the selected session, such as the session attributes from the session definition, the current status, and statistical information.
  • The Session column shows the name of the session that represents an OMEGAMON monitor.
  • The System column shows the system that established the connection to OMEGAMON.
  • The Type column shows the type of session, that is, the OS or middleware that the OMEGAMON monitor is monitoring.
  • The Status column shows the status of the session. It can be ACTIVE, INACTIVE, MAINT, SESSFAIL, or AUTHFAIL.
  • The Appl-id column shows the name of the OMEGAMON VTAM® application as defined by the installation during customization of the OMEGAMON product.
  • The User id column shows the user that is defined to log on to the OMEGAMON application. The user ID is needed to control access to the OMEGAMON application. It may be blank if product level security is not implemented for this OMEGAMON application.
  • The SessOper column shows the automated function name that was assigned to the session by SA z/OS® during initialization.
If command code D is selected, the detail screen as shown in Figure 2 is displayed.
