Predefining and managing OMEGAMON started tasks

Edit online

If you are using System Automation for z/OS®, make sure the automation rules are defined to start and manage the OMEGAMON® started tasks. System Automation comes with an OMEGAMON policy that predefines these rules.

See the System Automation publications for information about the OMEGAMON policy.

The following table lists the OMEGAMON started tasks (default names have been used) and associated automation dependencies.
Note: The CUA-related started tasks are applicable to only OMEGAMON family V5.3.0 and earlier versions. PARMGEN 3Q17 IF PTF will no longer generate these started tasks if later versions are installed in the CSI that the PARMGEN environment points to.
Table 1. OMEGAMON started tasks and automation dependencies

This table summarizes the steps necessary to integrate the management of OMEGAMON Monitoring Agents into your site's System Automation for z/OS rules.
