Omegamon/CICS can log to SMF, creating a CMF-like SMF type 110 subtype 1 transaction record (I am unfamiliar whether Omegamon/CICS supports the new SMF 110 compressed format, introduced with CTS 3.2). I know that OMEGAMON provides some MCT customizations for enhanced WLM and clocks/counters data capture in the subtype 1, possibly for MQ, DB2 or your local DBMS (ADABAS). With your migration, you may find differences in CICS transaction data available with OMEGAMON as compared to TMON for CICS - no question though that post-processing the CICS transaction data will need to change.
