What are some common commands and operations?

Common commands include those for setting up alerts, executing REXX scripts, and managing communication between components. The exact commands and syntax depend on the specific task, but generally involve specifying the target system, alert conditions, and actions to be taken.

What configuration files and interfaces are used?

Configuration is primarily managed through configuration files that define the connections to other systems, alert definitions, and actions to be taken. Interfaces include the NetView interface for receiving and sending messages, and the Omegamon interfaces for receiving alerts.

What types of APIs does OMEGACENTER Gateway expose?

The product does not expose APIs in the modern sense (REST, SOAP). Communication relies on proprietary protocols and interfaces designed for integration with specific IBM products like NetView and Omegamon. REXX scripting is a key method for automation.

What are the main system components?

The main components include the NetView interface, Omegamon interfaces (CICS, IMS, MVS), and the REXX execution engine. These components communicate using proprietary protocols and interfaces specific to the integrated products.

What is the business value of using OMEGACENTER Gateway?

OMEGACENTER Gateway enables automated responses to alerts, reducing manual intervention and improving operational efficiency. It facilitates integration between different monitoring and management tools, streamlining workflows.

How does OMEGACENTER Gateway improve system availability?

By automating responses to alerts, OMEGACENTER Gateway helps to reduce the time it takes to resolve issues. This can lead to improved system availability and reduced downtime.

How does OMEGACENTER Gateway improve monitoring capabilities?

The product allows for the integration of different monitoring tools, providing a centralized view of system health. This can improve the ability to proactively identify and resolve issues.

What specific authentication methods are supported?

The product does not have built-in security features like modern authentication methods or encryption. Security relies on the security features of the integrated products, such as NetView and Omegamon.

What access control model is used?

Access control is managed through the security features of the integrated products. For example, NetView provides access control mechanisms to manage user permissions.

What encryption is used and where?

The product does not provide encryption. Security relies on the security features of the integrated products. Data transmitted between components is not encrypted by the Gateway itself.

What audit/logging capabilities exist?

Auditing and logging capabilities depend on the features of the integrated products. NetView, for example, provides logging of system events and user actions.

What administrative interfaces are available?

Administration is primarily performed through the interfaces of the integrated products, such as NetView. There is no dedicated administrative console for the Gateway itself.

How is user management handled?

User management is handled through the user management features of the integrated products, such as NetView. The Gateway itself does not have its own user management system.

What are the main configuration parameters?

The main configuration parameters are defined in configuration files that specify connections, alert definitions, and actions. These files are typically edited using text editors or the interfaces of the integrated products.

What monitoring/logging capabilities exist?

Monitoring and logging capabilities are provided by the integrated products, such as NetView and Omegamon. The Gateway itself does not have its own monitoring or logging features.

Product Overview

The architecture of OMEGACENTER Gateway comprised several key components designed to facilitate communication and automation between different systems. The NetView interface was responsible for receiving and sending messages to and from NetView. The Omegamon interfaces (CICS, IMS, MVS) were designed to receive alerts from the respective Omegamon products.

A REXX execution engine was used to execute REXX scripts, enabling automated responses to alerts. Configuration files defined the connections to other systems, alert definitions, and actions to be taken. The product did not expose modern APIs.

Communication between components relied on proprietary protocols and interfaces specific to the integrated products. For example, when an alert was triggered in Omegamon, the corresponding Omegamon interface would forward the alert to the Gateway. The Gateway would then use the REXX execution engine to run a predefined script, which could send a message to NetView or trigger an action in Tivoli Monitoring.

Since the product is no longer supported, organizations should consider IBM Z System Automation for a modern architecture.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary function of OMEGACENTER Gateway?

OMEGACENTER Gateway facilitates two-way communication between classic Candle products and other systems. It enables actions based on Omegamon alerts, including setting Tivoli Monitoring alerts, issuing console messages, or setting NetView alerts. It supports REXX scripting for automation.

Which products does OMEGACENTER Gateway integrate with?

The product integrates with several Candle products, including Tivoli AF/Operator, Omegamon II for CICS, Omegamon II for MVS, and Omegaview. It also supports integration with Tivoli NetView and Tivoli Monitoring, using the Tivoli Alert Adapter for Omegacenter Gateway.

How does OMEGACENTER Gateway automate responses to alerts?

OMEGACENTER Gateway allows you to automatically trigger operations when an Omegamon alert occurs. These operations can include setting a Tivoli Monitoring alert, issuing console messages, or setting a NetView alert. This automation is a core feature of the product.

What scripting language is supported?

The product supports REXX scripting, enabling users to execute REXX execs from both Omegacenter Gateway and NetView. This allows for customized automation and integration with existing scripts.
