Support for a staged migration

Support for a staged migration of OMEGAMON XE for Db2 PE is as follows:
  • V5.1.1 and V5.2 must run with Tivoli Management Services V6.2.3 Fix Pack 1 or later.
  • V5.3 and V5.4 must run with Tivoli Management Services V6.3.0 Fix Pack 2 or later.
  • V5.4 must run with Tivoli Management Services V6.3.0 Fix Pack 6 or later

If you have installed an earlier version of ITM, it must be upgraded to V6.3.0 Fix Pack 6 or later. Tivoli Management Services V6.3.0 and later supports OMEGAMON XE for Db2 PE V5.1.1 and later running in your environment during a migration period, so that you can deploy new V5.4 monitoring agents along with older monitoring agents of the same product. If you are running in this mixed-migration environment, there might be differences when viewing data for an agent running an earlier version.

Migration considerations

The attribute Product, which is a two-letter code of a monitoring agent in the Tivoli® Enterprise Monitoring Server (TEMS) table INODESTS, depends on the version installed:
  • In V5.1.1 and later, the two-letter product code is DP.
Note: If you have customized your workspace or situations in Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server (TEMS) table INODESTS and filtering on attribute Product is set to D5 (applies to versions of OMEGAMON XE for Db2 PE that are no longer supported), you must set the filtering to D5 or DP. This migration is not required, if you use OMEGAMON XE for Db2 PE V5.1.1 or later.

Migrating a workspace

The attribute Product in workspace Managed System Status has the following values:
  • DP for OMEGAMON XE for Db2 PE V5.1.1 or later
Note: The workspace Managed System Status can be navigated from navigator item Enterprise. If you have customized your workspace based on workspace Managed System Status and filtering on attribute Product is set to D5 (applies to versions of OMEGAMON XE for Db2 PE that are no longer supported), you must set the filtering to D5 or DP.

Migrating situations

If you have a customized situation based on product-provided situation MS_Offline from All Managed Systems, and filtering on attribute Product is set to D5 (applies to versions of OMEGAMON XE for Db2 PE that are no longer supported), you must set the filtering to D5 or DP.
