OMEGAMON XE for CICS on z/OS v5.3
a 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
 Improved visibility and management of CICS workloads
 New: CICS Transaction Gateway for the Enhanced 3270 User
Interface

• 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-resolution
OMEGAMON 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 Ownership
OMEGAMON 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.
View Transactions Across a CICSplex

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.
