OMEGAMON Enhanced 3270 User Interface main menu

After launching OMEGAMON Enhanced 3270 user interface (e3270 UI), you arrive at the main menu.

This menu provides access to various monitoring functions. It follows a simple text-based interface. The main menu is usually a central screen where users select various options by typing commands or entering menu numbers. After you log in, you can see the e3270 UI main menu with options for different resource types or monitoring areas.

The following image is an example of how the main menu for an e3270 UI might look:

Note:

Events is a default option and you can select z/OS. You can see other products depending on your installation.

Depending on how you customize your first workspace, you see active sysplexes, LPARs, or both in the z/OS tab. For example, if your first workspace is KM5STRTI (for sysplexes view), you can see a summary of all the active sysplexes you are monitoring. It is sorted by sysplex CPU usage and LPAR with the highest CPU usage in the sysplex. From the Sysplex Name column, you can check the options available for each sysplex. You can go to system sysplex level reporting, one level up to enterprise level reporting, or one level down to LPAR level reporting. By default, each selection in the sysplexes push you down a level into the LPARS of that sysplex. The LPAR Overview for Sysplex shows you a summary of all the LPARs that you are monitoring sorted by average CPU percent. You can look at all the options available at the LPAR in two pages.

Navigating in the main menu
