Way back when I got IBM's Tivoli Omegamon for Mainframe Networks when IBM bought Candle and NPM/IP V2 was a flaming disaster; at no charge just to keep me around. My main concern has been the direction IBM said it was taking of me having to have Linux on z or an AIX system to take advantage of the product. Over the years IBM has confirmed it over and over.
Recently I was looking at Tivoli Omegamon for z/OS and I am hearing IBM Product Mger saying that is not true and it happily runs self contained on z/OS (my goal for DR reasons). Back when IBM said the 3270 interface was now stablized and not to be enhanced. I am told now it is being updated. But my questions of how the product runs a GUI interface runs have been met with why do I need it. Is any one running the product and can comment if the zLinux or AIX is still in the cards. True if one has the 3270 interface it works but you'd lose functionality and be paying for something you can not use. My thought is it should all run completely on z/OS and I would not need any other systems. Anyone want to comment about Omegamon CICS/DB2/Websphere/etc jim ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
