Step 2: Review the product components and installation steps

Use this information to understand the basic OMEGAMON components and topology.

The following diagram illustrates the basic topology that results from the installation steps you perform.

OMEGAMON z/OS architecture
The installation process follows this order:
  1. Plan the locations of the hub and remote Tivoli® Enterprise Monitoring Servers, Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server (if applicable), and the OMEGAMON® enhanced 3270 user interface, and decide which agents to install.
  2. Install and configure the z/OS® components.
  3. Install and configure the distributed IBM® Tivoli Monitoring components: the hub Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server (if not on z/OS), Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server, and Tivoli Enterprise Portal client.
  4. For any agent that does not have the self-describing capability enabled, install the application support files that enable the storage and display of data collected by OMEGAMON monitoring agents on z/OS.
