IBM Tivoli OMEGAMON XE Feature Summary

� Real-time performance and availability monitoring of SYSPlex and subsystem workloads and resource usage, execution and delay state information for System z workloads and transactions

� Implements the “Logical Tuning Approach” - Observe - Isolate - Fix

– 1) Understand applications and their importance to your business; 2) Establish Service Level Measures; 3) Proactively Measure Performance; 4) Isolate Exceptions; 5) Correct Problems; 6) Resume Measurements (tuning is an iterative process).

� Proactive exception based monitoring based on site specified thresholds -“Keep the lights Green”

� “Power User” tools to enable problem correction (i.e.. Kill Tasks, Kill Threads, Memory map/zap …)

� Cross product linking (launch in context) blurs the lines between products

� Secure – provides user logon authentication and user product function authorization

� Historical data collection, warehousing, and reporting

� Dual UI strategy to meet audience needs

– Tivoli Enterprise Portal provides personalized content for most audiences and centralized product administration, 3270 for power users

Agenda









Scenarios� Reduce unexpected outages from z/OS asset upgrades

– See who would be impacted by an upgrade

– See which products a job is using

– See where different maintenance levels are deployed

– See what needs to be replicated to Disaster Recovery systems

� Get the best value from your z/OS software budget

– Understanding product usage trends is extremely important for contract renewal negotiations e.g.

• Which products should be included in an Enterprise License Agreement (ELA)

• Product LPAR capacity restricted licenses

• Assess what would be impacted by a competitive product replacement

– Drop products that are no longer being used

– Consolidate product versions

– Consolidate similar products e.g. inherited from company mergers

– Consolidate product machine/system coverage

– Sub-capacity license optimization

– Prove to management that your budget is fully utilized to avoid funding cuts or justify increases

� Asset management for IT

– Tivoli Asset Management for IT e.g. contacts, financial, procurement, lifecycle

– Product inventory verification

– Audit trail of product use in a z/OS environment


Tivoli Asset Discovery for z/OS

● IBM Tivoli Asset Discovery for z/OS provides discovery, monitoring and reporting to understand z/OS product and application usage.

● Since z/OS products are shared by many users and business units,it is very hard to determine how to reduce product license costs and verify license compliance.

● Reduce unexpected outages from product and application upgrades.

♦ TADz assists change control and operations support since you can see exactly where (systems, datasets) products are deployed and who (jobs/userid) is using them.

● TADz interactive web reporting:

● Detect products that are no longer being used and can be dropped

● Detect opportunities for product consolidation using TADz trend graphs

● Reports to assist vendor negotiations

● Product migrations made easier & cleaner since TADz can show who(userid, job name, account code) is the products and from where (datasets, LPARs)

● TADz SCRT reports enable customers to see if their monthly sub-capacity license charges are growing. Drill down details assistcustomers to move/restrict where products are accessed in order to reduce sub-capacity license charges.

● Integration with Tivoli Asset Management for IT (TAMIT) for license management

● TAMIT supports z/OS licenses and queries the TADz database for high level information about the deployed z/OS products.
