OMEGAMON enhanced 3270 user interface PTF UA76751 for APAR OA46867

APAR OA46867 (May 2015)
For updates to the OMEGAMON® enhanced 3270 user interface (Enhanced 3270UI) for APAR OA46867 (May 2015), refer to New in OMNIMON Base V7.3.0 (APAR OA46867).
Enhanced 3270UI near-term history display
The Enhanced 3270UI now supports the display of near-term history collected by OMEGAMON XE and IBM® Tivoli® Monitoring agents. Near-term history display provides the ability to investigate problems in the recent past. Security authorization checks have been extended to include access and updates to near-term history collection.

If your security implementation is configured to deny access to undefined SAF resources by default, you must update your configuration to secure near-term history (NTH) configuration actions. To secure history updates, the O4SRV.** resource must be added to either the global security class (RTE_SECURITY_CLASS) or the query class (KOB_SAF_QUERY_CLASS_NAME) if it is used. To secure access to the near-term history workspaces, the KOBUI.ADMIN.DEFINEHISTORY.<hub name> resource must be added to the security class used to control user interface interactions such as navigation.

To enable collection of NTH data, you must allocate data sets to store the collected data, configure maintenance of those data sets, and configure what data is collected.

Dynamic hub switching
You can now dynamically specify which hub you want to view data from. Previously, you had to modify the user profile to change hubs. Now you can switch hubs from the interface without modifying the profile.
Multi-hub support
You can use the multi-hub support feature to select a secondary hub monitoring server connection.
Continuous operation
The address space no longer needs to be recycled when an agent is upgraded.
Support for IPv6
Support for IPv6 has been added to the existing IP capability, enabling configurations that employ IPv4 only, IPv6 only, or mixed IPv4 and IPv6.
Enhanced 3270UI embedded data
The Enhanced 3270UI embedded-data feature can be used to bring relevant data from other products into the workspace of the hosting product. The embedded-data feature imports data from other products in a seamless manner that can enable the user to navigate in context directly to other product workspaces.
New user preference options
  • You can choose whether your tab key can be used to move between action bar options and also whether it can be used to move to and between push buttons.
