Have you not consider CA SYSVIEW? Much easier to install. Much easier to maintain. Same functionality or better. Much less resource consumption.

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. _________________________________________________________________ Dave Jousma Assistant Vice President, Mainframe Services david.jou...@53.com 1830 East Paris, Grand Rapids, MI 49546 MD RSCB1G p 616.653.8429 f 616.653.8497 -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:ibm-m...@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Vernooy, C.P. - SPLXM Sent: Wednesday, March 11, 2009 10:46 AM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: Re: TMON with OMEGAMON Comparison "Yogeetha balasubramanian" <sairamyog...@gmail.com> wrote in message news:<cd427cf50903110541w4e662c16l2f8f29072949a...@mail.gmail.com>... > Hello there !! > > We are moving from TMON to OMEGAMON .

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.
