We went through this trial about 18 months ago. I can live with either from a functional perspective, BUT the real mess is the Omegamon install, and the number of hours(oops, I mean days or weeks). There are so many sets of libraries out there due to CICAT. You order Omegamon from Serverpac, easy, right? NOT. All that gets you is the TKAN* datasets. Still have to run CICAT, and it copies all the TKAN* datasets to RKAN*, which is a complete copy. Then it goes on and builds all the other support datasets, per lpar or environment. Then, what TMON can do in a handful of STC's, takes Omegamon 3 times as many STC's. Just too much overhead in my opinion.

I won't bother you with my personal opinion about Omegamon, since this will cause an overflow of the group's spaceconsumption. However, the CICS component is not the worst of them all. Our CICS expert is satisfied with it. Tips: Select the 'optional' function to restart the monitoring within CICS when the Omegamon collecter is stop/started. Regulary check for fixes, because they still come (far too) often. This e-mail transmission contains information that is confidential and may be privileged.
