QPASA
monitors every platform that MQ runs on. We use it here. Old versions of QPASA
made it so tedious to create large numbers of monitors you wanted to shove your
head thru your monitor at a high rate of speed at the end of the day. The
current version has solved that problem and the product is much more user
friendly now. Excellent Support. Mr.Z in Sales/Supports will replace your
morning coffee, as Bobbee mentioned! Very knowledgeable and enthusiastic.

Subject: Re: Comparison of MQ monitoring tools
Im currently working with Omegamon/XE, monitoring MQ on the MF, Windows, AIX and HP-UX. It does a pretty good job, but once in a blue moon we lose contact with an agent on a distributed box and have to manually restart it. It's fairly easy to write rules/scripts to monitor whatever event you deem critical. My biggest concern is that IBM now owns it and it's not clear if it will survive. Also, I prefer the CMW over the CNP, but that's a personal preference.
I did work with the BMC MV product and it was very good, but it only supported the MF.
I had a short experience with Tivoli and I think it's a terrible product. I think the other listers gave a good description of the short-comings.
The only encounter with QPASA was a presentation by sales about 5-6 yrs ago, but it didn't address the MF at the time (still don't know if it does).
A RYO approach is always an option, but unless your company wants to put their family jewels in someone else's basket, it's not a good choice.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] Comparison of MQ monitoring tools
We are currently investigating MQSeries monitoring tools. The environment
is z/OS 1.5, MQ 5.3.1. We are looking for some comparisons of products
with regard to feature/function and pro/con for any of these products. Any
opinions are most welcome.
