Workspaces

OMEGAMON® for CICS® on z/OS® provides workspaces for viewing information about each CICS region you are monitoring. The table views, graphs, and charts within each workspace report attribute information about each CICS region you are monitoring.

You can use the table views, graphs, and charts within each workspace to perform the following tasks:

  • Investigate attribute information relating to a change in state
  • Monitor the performance of each CICS region, helping you to identify system bottlenecks and evaluate tuning decisions
  • Select the most effective threshold values for situations you create

The workspaces deliver detailed, current data that enable you to analyze CICS regions, connections, service class performance, transactions, tasks waiting on RLS resources, and temporary storage queues. For an overview of available workspaces, see Organization of the predefined workspaces.

In addition to table views and graphs, a workspace contains other views, for example, a 3270 terminal session, a text view, a browser session, an event console, or a Take Action pane that gives you the ability to send commands to the operator console. Certain workspace views provide links to subsidiary (secondary) workspaces, and dynamic, runtime links to other OMEGAMON monitoring products, for example, OMEGAMON on z/OS and OMEGAMON for Mainframe Networks.
