Procedure

  1. Complete the following prerequisite PARMGEN configuration tasks:
    Table 1. Tasks to complete before you configure OMEGAMON for IMS Classic
    Configuration task Location of instructions
    Set up PARMGEN work libraries for your runtime environment OMEGAMON shared documentation, Version 6.3.0 Fix Pack 2 and above
    Set up the PARMGEN configuration profile for your runtime environment:
    • (Optional) Configure a Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server
    • (Optional) Configure an OMEGAMON® Subsystem - configure only one OMEGAMON Subsystem for each LPAR.
    • (Optional) Configure the OMEGAMON enhanced 3270 user interface address space - the OMEGAMON enhanced 3270 user interface requires a Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server to be installed. You must only configure one OMEGAMON enhanced 3270 user interface address space in a Sysplex.
    Note: If OMEGAMON for IMS Classic is the only product in this runtime environment, this step is not required. Review the documentation for your other products in this runtime environment to determine whether this step is required.
    • OMEGAMON shared documentation, Version 6.3.0 Fix Pack 2 and above
    • The PARMGEN configuration method in the Configuring section of OMEGAMON shared documentation, Version 6.3.0 Fix Pack 2 and above
  2. Identify where your hub Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server is.
  3. Determine which Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server your agent is to report to and where your monitored subsystems are to run.
    For more information about Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server planning and configuration, see the OMEGAMON shared documentation, Version 6.3.0 Fix Pack 2 and above.
  4. Review your system environment to determine where the IMS regions are to run. Run one agent on each LPAR of the IMS regions that you want to monitor.
  5. Review your runtime environment configuration default settings to determine whether you can use the settings for your OMEGAMON for IMS Classic product configuration.
    For more information about runtime environment and global configuration parameters, see Common parameters in the Reference section of OMEGAMON shared documentation, Version 6.3.0 Fix Pack 2 and above.
  6. Review the PARMGEN configuration profiles that are required for user customization.
    For more information, see the PARMGEN topics in OMEGAMON shared documentation, Version 6.3.0 Fix Pack 2 and above.
