IBM OMEGAMON for CICS

The architecture of IBM OMEGAMON for CICS is designed for efficient monitoring and management of CICS environments on z/OS. The core components include the OMEGAMON agent, the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server (TEMS), and the Tivoli Enterprise Portal (TEP). The OMEGAMON agent is a software component that resides within the CICS regions.

It collects performance data, such as transaction response times, CPU usage, and storage allocation. The agent communicates with the TEMS using TCP/IP. The TEMS is a central component that receives, processes, and stores the data collected by the agents.

It provides a centralized repository for historical data and supports various data analysis and reporting functions. The TEMS also manages the communication with the TEP. The TEP is a graphical user interface that provides a user-friendly way to monitor the CICS environment.

It displays real-time performance metrics, historical data, and alerts. The TEP also provides administrative functions, such as configuring alerts and managing user access. The data flow starts with the OMEGAMON agent collecting data from the CICS regions.

The agent sends the data to the TEMS via TCP/IP. The TEMS processes and stores the data in a data store. The TEP retrieves data from the TEMS and displays it to the user.

The product supports RBAC for access control. The audit logs provide detailed information on user actions and system events. The product integrates with the Tivoli Monitoring infrastructure for authentication and auditing.
