Documentation-only changes
- Prerequisites for OMEGAMON monitoring agents as a data source: PDS V2
- Using OMEGAMON monitoring agents as a data source for OMEGAMON Data Provider requires version 2 of the OMEGAMON persistent data store (PDS V2). This is an existing requirement, and PDS V2 is activated by default. However, some sites might decide to postpone PDS V2 activation. For clarity, this documentation now cites PDS V2 as a prerequisite.
