problem happens?
 All sites have different configurations and
unique expectations
 How do problems get communicated?
 What type of alerting happens?
 Are all your teams disparate groups?
 Do you have “War Room” meetings?
 How do you Identifying Complex Problems?
 Are your teams challenged to do more with less?
 How do you address these issues?

OMEGAMON already has low TCO and ……
is still improving!
 Delivering drastic reductions in labor time needed to
configurez/OS components:
“5x improvement, [less time for OM upgrade and
configuration] with new PARMGEN tool” IBM Host System
Services team member
 Leveraging ServerPac’s efficient deployment of binaries for
z/OS, subsystems and OMEGAMON
o Consolidates SMP/E tasks (versus CBPDO)
o Customizes ordering of any combination
o Contains all latest maintenance.
 Minimizing the manual effort to maintain agents using ITM Self
Describing Agents (SDA)

OMEGAMON provides significant cost savings over
other vendors’ solutions
* Based on internal testing and running similar scenarios on v 4.2 versus v
5.1. Results at your own shops will vary dependent on OM II (CUA) and
OMEGAVIEW deployment
• Exploiting zIIP offload for years.
•Routines for OMEGAMON (z/OS, DB2, CICS, Storage)
•RMF used as a data collector
• IBM’s analysis shows reduced CPU usage,
20%-50%* from v4.2
• Identifies address spaces for easy tracking
and tuning, typical 1%-3% MIPS* usage
Decreasing overall costs:
Customers could see a 48%
reduction in CPU usage*,
when comparing just the
cost of running OMII (CUA)
and OMEGAVIEW vs. the
cost of running the 3270ui.

Situations: What are they?
Situations describe a condition or set of conditions you want to examine to determine if a
potential problem exists in the systems and resources you are monitoring and will notify
operations.
Situations provide continuous observation of your systems!
System z integrated performance monitoring -
Visibility
Situations: Why use them?
 Proactively monitor the performance of your system,
allowing you to find and resolve problems before
end users report them. You pick which metrics to monitor
out of many hundreds to use and on which systems to run.
 Resolve problems automatically using Take Action (reflex automation)
 Provide customized expert advice

Control and Automation to Key Areas
Manage by exception – monitor key applications and
limit visible information to what is needed
When situations “fire” quickly see what caused the
alert, and compare current status of the situation to
the initial condition that caused this alert
Pre-programmed actions can respond automatically to
situations – or - Take Action by issuing commands
Automated or manual batch job responses directly
from your monitoring activity

Maximizing time and personnel
 Manage by exception
 Common Tools and Processes
 Create collaboration through tool integration
 Efficiency in doing the day to day management of your z/OS - Link
actions to situations
• Automate problem responses
• Capture expert knowledge
• Common data and KPIs

Breaking down the Silos
 Increase ability to meet SLAs by managing
environment with intelligent alerting
 Increase staff productivity through managing
by exception
 Maximize efficiency of staff with Common
Tools and Processes
 Create collaboration through tool integration
and information
 Efficiency in doing the day to day
management - Link actions to situations
– Automate problem responses
– Capture expert knowledge
– Common data and KPIs
 Is your environment
managed by different teams
that do not regularly work
together – Integrate
information
 When there is a problem,
quickly identify the root
cause.
