Configuring OMEGAMON for IMS on z/OS

Edit online

OMEGAMON® for IMS™ on z/OS uses Configuration Manager or PARMGEN to configure parameters. With either configuration method, you edit a comprehensive list of parameters, configure installed products and components, and submit a series of jobs to create a complete runtime environment with the parameter values that you specified.

See the OMEGAMON shared documentation, under Configuring and Reference, for more information about Configuration Manager and PARMGEN.

You configure OMEGAMON for IMS on z/OS by accepting or customizing the values of parameters that begin with KI2 for the OMEGAMON for IMS (3270) components and KI5 for the OMEGAMON component. For more information about setting parameter values, see the following resources:
  • Comments in the configuration profiles
  • Online help for the configuration profile
  • Common parameters in the Reference section of OMEGAMON shared documentation.
  • OMEGAMON for IMS on z/OS: Parameter Reference

When you finish specifying parameters, even if you accept all of the defaults, you run the $PARSE or $PARSESV job in PARMGEN. The PARMGEN online help provides more information about these jobs. Then, when you complete PARMGEN configuration, there are additional steps that you must perform to complete the configuration. PARMGEN provides post-configuration instructions that you must review. You can also review OMEGAMON shared documentation: Configuring for common tasks that you must complete, and this material for tasks that are specific to OMEGAMON for IMS on z/OS.
