Situations

To help you begin monitoring quickly, OMEGAMON® for IMS on z/OS® provides predefined situations. These situations monitor for system conditions that are typically considered to be problematic or noteworthy and trigger Critical or Warning event indicators in the Navigator.

You can also change the conditions, relational operators, and compare values to ones more appropriate for your system. If you choose to change a predefined situation, we recommend that you change a copy and preserve the original situation in the form in which it ships.

Predefined situations that ship with this product are not set to auto-start. You must activate these situations before you can begin monitoring. You can then begin to use these predefined situations:

• To begin monitoring your IMS applications
• As models for creating your own situations
• As embedded situations within your own situations
• As building blocks for correlated situations
• To monitor and manage, through localized automation, widely dispersed resources

OMEGAMON for IMS on z/OS includes the following categories of predefined situations:
