OMEGAMON XE for CICS on z/OS v5.3a complete solution for CICS and CICS/TG monitoring
• Efficiency and cost saving through integration, version 5.3 includes integrated monitoring via Enhanced 3270 User Interface and Tivoli Enterprise Portal
• Increased problem determination with Enhanced 3270 User Interface Near-Term-History allows recent performance problem identification combined with CICSplex wide views of transaction details, tracing a transaction across a CICSplex
• Reduced time-to-resolution of problems with new improved Enhanced 3270 User Interface workspaces including embedded data from Z/OS, MQ and Storage bringing pertinent information to where you need it
Lower Cost of Ownership with simplified Install/Config with Parmgen enhancements up to 60% in time and effort also increased usage of specialty processors with up to 95% decrease in Bottleneck function CPU

• Integrated monitoring solution with both Enhanced 3270 User Interface and Tivoli Enterprise Portal displays of vital CICS and CICS Transaction Gateway performance information.
• Allow users to specify which OMEGAMON CICS agent will monitor a CICSplex.
• Support for Multi-servant WebSphere clients.
• Additional resources (ICEs and AIDS) can be monitored and controlled from the Enhanced 3270 User Interface.

Enhanced 3270 User Interface Near-Term-History allows recent performance problem identification.
• View performance metrics from the recent history to identify periods of concern.
• Navigate consistently for a given time slice as though in real time.
• Navigate to Task History for a point in time. CICSplex wide views of transaction details in both real time and
historically.• See all the CICS regions involved in a transaction combining the task
history details for a transaction from anywhere in the CICSplex. Combine Application Trace data for a transaction.
• Access to all the trace collected for a transaction spanning multiple regions with a simple view.
Increased Problem Determination

• Improved navigation with consistent navigation through real time and History and the use of tabbing within workspaces to better organize the data.
Reduced time-to-resolutionOMEGAMON XE for CICS on z/OS V5.3
• Reduce the complexity and the navigation by bringing all that is known about a resource to where you need it.
• From z/OS display an address space and if it is a CICS region see the useful CICS metrics without switching views.
• CICS is using WebSphere MQ, see the Queue Manager Statistics and Queue details without leaving the CICS view of a region or task.
• Resolve RLS performance problems with OMEGAMON XE for storage details of the physical dataset performance.
• See which CICS Transaction Gateway servers are using your connections or which CICS regions a gateway is connected to.
• Faster resolution through new improved Enhanced 3270 User Interface workspaces including embedded data bringing pertinent information from multiple components.

• Simplified Installation and Configuration with Parmgen enhancements.
• First time user enhancements make it easier to get up and running.
• Best practices and model based configuration built into a new simplified workflow.
Lower cost of OwnershipOMEGAMON XE for CICS on z/OS V5.3
• Increased usage of specialty processors.• OMEGAMON CICS now dispatches bottleneck Analysis on a zIIP processor
automatically if one is available.• Up to 94% CPU reduction may be realized.
• Simplify the install of OMEGAMON components into CICS regions.• For the first time OMEGAMON supports installation into a CICS region with NO JCL
CHANGES. Significantly reducing the cost of deploying the product across increasingly complex CICS environments.
• Competitive advantage – dynamically recognize Regions as they come online
• Greater protection from rogue applications with Resource limiting extended to include GDSA and container storage.

• Transaction details include related transactions across the CICSplex, which increases your ability to solve transaction performance issues in increasingly complex environments.
• In this example CSMI, running in CICS51G2, is related to TEST in CICS51G1 and the details of the related task(s) are a click away.

Faster Problem Resolution with Application Trace
• In v5.3.0 the application trace facility is enhanced to allow you to trace connected transactions across the CICSplex, which will simplify problem determination efforts in complex environments.
• In this example transaction TEST running in CICS51G1 has linked to a mirror task in CICS51G2.

Customize History Views
• In addition to transaction history a new, customizable, history has been added. This feature allows you to specify reports that will be collected, allowing you to view history for selected tables in historical context.
• Did a problem occur at 0345am yesterday ? The new feature allows you to navigate to the time slot and investigate the problem using historical data.

Embedded Data Improves Cross-Product Integration
• Embedded Data provides the ability to view data, sourced from different OMEGAMON monitors, in a single report.
• In this example address space information from the z/OS monitor is combined with data from the CICS monitor.
• This simplifies problem resolution in situations where the solution may involve data from more than one OMEGAMON.

• In this example of embedded data the CICS view of an RLS dataset is combined with data from the OMEGAMON XE for Storage product’s physical view of the same dataset.
• This allows you to access a more comprehensive view of the dataset than would be available from a single monitor.
