Completing the configuration tasks inside of PARMGEN for the OMEGAMON for IMS on z/OS monitoring agent

You configure the OMEGAMON monitoring agent to install product-specific data on the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server and to register the OMEGAMON for IMS on z/OS monitoring agent to the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server address space. You also configure the persistent data store for the product historical data.

About this task

The OMEGAMON for IMS on z/OS parameters are specified in the KI5 section of the PARMGEN configuration profile. Default values are provided for all required parameters and some optional ones. If you do not want to customize these parameters, and you do not want to enable optional features, you can complete the configuration by accepting these defaults.

The first time that you configure the OMEGAMON for IMS on z/OS product into a runtime environment, accept the configuration default values wherever possible. If you plan to configure the product to collect historical data, see Reference: Historical data collection for information about the persistent data store.

Consider enabling the self-describing agent feature before you connect the OMEGAMON for IMS on z/OS agent to the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server. For more information about self-describing agents, see IBM® Tivoli Monitoring Administration Guide Version 6.3.0 and OMEGAMON shared documentation, Version 6.3.0 Fix Pack 2 and above: Self-describing agent feature.
