Configuring products and components on z/OS

Configure OMEGAMON® products and their common framework components on z/OS®.

Configuration of OMEGAMON products and their common framework components on z/OS is based on the concept of a runtime environment, or RTE. An RTE consists of all the parts (data sets, parameters, start task JCL, and so on) required to run the configured products and framework components on a single z/OS LPAR.

You can use IBM Z Monitoring Configuration Manager (Monitoring Configuration Manager or Configuration Manager) or Parameter Generator (PARMGEN) to configure, replicate, maintain, and update RTEs.

Important: To facilitate your configuration experience, make sure to review Best practices for configuring OMEGAMON products and components.
