Special considerations for a data sharing environment
If you are installing or configuring OMEGAMON® for Db2 PE in a data sharing environment, you might need to alter configuration of certain components.
VTPOOL sharing in a multihost environment
Virtual terminal pool (VTPOOL) defines the virtual terminal pool from which the virtual terminal manager VTM1 uses a virtual terminal for each OMEGAMON for Db2 PE session. To provide support for OMEGAMON for Db2 PE sessions under more than one TSO or ISPF, you must install VTM1 in every VTAM® domain that controls a TSO. Usually, each installation of VTM1 includes a VTPOOL definition. You can, however, also share a VTPOOL definition among several VTM1 installations.
Security
Plan your security strategy before you begin installation and configuration. Since no default security feature is set up, you must plan a security strategy, consider optional security features, and an optional interface using the Classic Interface security table.
