Modifying the initial workspace
By default, the OMEGAMON enhanced 3270 user interface (enhanced 3270UI) is configured to specify the Enterprise Summary (KOBSTART) workspace as the initial workspace displayed after a user logs on. You can change which workspace is displayed when you first log on, or customize the Enterprise Summary workspace to better suit your needs.
About this task
- Creating a custom definition for the workspace
- Modifying the user's logon profile to specify the custom definition
The definition of the Enterprise Summary workspace imbeds a subpanel for each the products that
supports the enhanced 3270UI. The default imbed statements in the KOBSTART workspace definition are:
| Imbed statement | Description |
|---|---|
| IMBED=KM5STRTI | Imbed for OMEGAMON for z/OS |
| IMBED=KCPSTRTI | Imbed for OMEGAMON for CICS |
| IMBED=KGWSTRTI | Imbed for OMEGAMON for CICS Transaction Gateway |
| IMBED=KDPSTRTI | Imbed for OMEGAMON for Db2/PE on z/OS |
| IMBED=KIPSTRTI | Imbed for OMEGAMON for IMS on z/OS |
| IMBED=KMQSTRTI | Imbed for OMEGAMON for Messaging on z/OS |
| IMBED=KS3STRTI | Imbed for OMEGAMON for Storage on z/OS |
| IMBED=KN3STRTI | Imbed for OMEGAMON for Networks |
Subpanels are displayed only for products that are installed. However, you might not want to see data for all of those products, or you might want to display additional subpanels. You can delete some of the imbedded subpanels and specify other subpanels that you want to imbed. Complete the following steps to customize the workspace definition.
Procedure
- Copy or clone the product-provided KOBSTART
member and rename it as appropriate, for example ZOSFWS. Use the workspace viewing and cloning feature of the interface to complete this step. For more information about workspace viewing and cloning, see Workspace viewing and cloning.
- Copy or clone the product-provided KOBCUA member
and rename it as appropriate: CUASITE for a site profile or user_id
for a user-specific profile. Use the workspace viewing and cloning feature of the interface to complete this step. For more information about workspace viewing and cloning, see Workspace viewing and cloning.
- Edit the copied instance to apply the required customization.
For example, you might modify the list of imbeds to delete the KCPSTRTI, KGWSTRTI, KDPSTRTI, KIPSTRTI imbed statements. These changes create an initial workspace that contains data for only the OMEGAMON for z/OS, OMEGAMON for Storage, and OMEGAMON for Networks products.For more information about customizing workspaces, see Customization of product provided workspaces
- Save your modified workspace.
- Modify any appropriate logon profile members to specify
the modified workspace definition as the initial workspace.
In this example, you change the logon profile setting from FIRSTWS=KOBSTART to FIRSTWS=ZOSFWS.
- Save your updated logon profile members.
