For a 100% mainframe-hosted solution, you can run TEMS on z/OS and TEPS on Linux on z. That arrangement supports z/OS agents (the OMEGAMON XE elements), Linux on z agents (OMEGAMON XE on z/VM and ITM elements), and/or distributed agents (ITM elements). There is no requirement for "yet another box," and there are no extra license charges.
If you'd like TEPS also on z/OS, please ask your friendly IBM Software representative. Please do remember that TEPS derives from the CandleNet Portal Server which (I believe) wasn't offered on z/OS, but IBM may have a different viewpoint now that Candle is part of IBM. In fact, I don't think CandleNet Portal ran on Linux on z either, so that happened after the acquisition. - - - - - Timothy Sipples IBM Consulting Enterprise Software Architect Specializing in Software Architectures Related to System z Based in Tokyo, Serving IBM Japan and IBM Asia-Pacific E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
