User roles and responsibilities

Product installers
Typically, product installers are responsible for the following tasks:
  • Preparing and planning the environment deployment to ensure that the prerequisites for installation and configuration are met.
  • Installing OMEGAMON for IMS on z/OS.
  • Configuring OMEGAMON for IMS on z/OS.
System operators
System operators use OMEGAMON for IMS on z/OS to ensure consistent and reliable operations for all applications and subsystems on z/OS that rely on IMS. They are responsible for IMS availability by using the following components and monitoring resources:
  • Use the Realtime Commands component to manage the IMS systems.
  • Use the Health workspaces to view and monitor the health of an IMS system.
  • Use the Databases workspaces to view the health and efficiency of the databases, and resolve the errors faster and more efficiently.
Application subject matter experts
Application subject matter experts are responsible for IMS application troubleshooting, and resource definitions and availability by using the following components and monitoring resources:
  • Use the Application Trace Facility component to collect summary-level metrics and detailed transaction events data to understand the operation and performance of the monitored IMS systems.
  • Use the Bottleneck Analysis component to analyze the performance of the IMS environment and identify causes of slow response time.
  • Use the IMS Commander workspaces to monitor the application activity.
  • Use the Response Time Analysis component to analyze transaction response times in real-time to understand the effects of the tuning measures, system modifications, and changing workloads.
System performance experts and capacity planners
System performance experts and capacity planners monitor the performance of IMS to ensure that the performance meets Service Level Agreements (SLAs) by using the following component and monitoring resources:
  • Use the Application Trace Facility component to collect summary-level metrics and detailed transaction events data to understand the operation and performance of the monitored IMS systems.
  • Use the Bottleneck Analysis component to analyze the performance of the IMS environment and identify causes of slow response time.
  • Use the Health workspaces to view and monitor the health of an IMS system.
  • Use the IMS Commander workspaces to monitor the application activity.
  • Use the Realtime Commands component to manage the IMS systems.
  • Use the Response Time Analysis component to analyze transaction response times in real-time to understand the effects of the tuning measures, system modifications, and changing workloads.
IMS system programmers
IMS system programmers monitor the performance of IMS system by using the following components and monitoring resources:
  • Use the Application Trace Facility component to collect summary-level metrics and detailed transaction events data to understand the operation and performance of the monitored IMS systems.
  • Use the Bottleneck Analysis component to analyze the performance of the IMS environment and identify causes of slow response time.
  • Use the Health workspaces to view and monitor the health of an IMS system.
  • Use the IMS Commander workspaces to monitor the application activity.
  • Use the Realtime Commands component to manage the IMS systems.
  • Use the Response Time Analysis component to analyze transaction response times in real-time to understand the effects of the tuning measures, system modifications, and changing workloads.
