What's New: Differences between and 5.5 and 5.6

In order to co-exist with the 5.5 products, the 5.6 products provide almost all the same tables, as identified in this section. Comparable workspaces are provided in the e3270UI and TEP that make use of these tables. Comparable but different tables, and comparable but different columns, between the 5.5 and 5.6 products are also identified in this section.

Notes on EPILOG when migrating from 5.3
Because EPILOG direction is to be withdrawn, it is recommended to use RMF Monitor 3 collection for near term history on z/OS instead. EPILOG was removed in OMEGAMON XE for z/OS 5.5, but it is provided in 5.6 with limitations as SAS support has been dropped in this version.
