Tivoli Enterprise Portal
Browser-based access to monitoring data Ability to create intelligent alerts using conditional logic Ability to see an alert and information related to it from the same interface Reflex automation capabilities Procedural/resolution information can be provided through Expert Advice Integration of alerts from other subsystems using OMEGAMON DE Built-in TN3270 to quickly navigate to console, TSO Built-in Web Browser Real-time, near term and long term history Consistent interface across all OMEGAMON products

Focus Visibility and Control to key areas – Maximize efficiency
Manage by exception – monitor key applications and limit visible information to what is needed
When situations “fire” quickly see what caused the alert, and compare current status of the situation to the initial condition that caused this alert
Pre-programmed actions can respond automatically to situations – or - Take Action by issuing commands
“Reduce time in manual tasks, e.g. reading reports, physically monitoring environment”
From monitoring you can issue commands for HSM, DSS, IDCAMs, ICKDSF, RMM and JCL, use the Tools to generate automated or manual batch job responses directly from your monitoring activity

Effective Problem Identification reduces cost
A situation is an intelligent alert that can utilize and/or logic to monitor a condition or set of conditions that you want to be notified about, which would indicate a potential problem with an identified workload and/or resource
•Proactively detect and resolve problems before end users report impact.•Minimize time determining root cause (Alert if stor class=PRILRG and free space < 10% or largest free space < X MBs)•Create alerts based on multiple conditions ranging from simple to complex• Customize for specific conditions and environment• Automate problem resolution using Take Action (reflex automation)
Situation “fires” and you quickly navigate to what triggered the alert
Situations: What are they?
Situations: Why use them?

Fostering teamwork and efficiency – Break down the silos
Storage is a common entity with any z/OS workload, regardless spanning CICS, DB2, IMS, middleware, networking and z/OS operating system information
Integration at this level:•Increases ability to identify and address problems•Fosters greater communication•Prevents issues from impacting service levels•Reduces down time and business impact from issues
Quickly identify the problem, exploit Expert Advice, and Take action to reduce meantime–to-resolution and knowledge transfer
Separate teams using common tools and processes can collaborate easily on problem determination and resolution, breaking down the silos
Intelligent tooling and knowledge capture reduces 24x7 reliance on experienced “gurus”.

Issues in z/OS Storage Management
Space – What’s available at the Group, Volume and Dataset levels? Performance – Where are the slowdowns? Cache - Is it being utilized effectively? Shared DASD – Who is impacting this volume’s response time? Applications – Are throughput problems related to DASD? I/O Subsystem – Can balancing be improved? Tape devices – How many slots are in use in the ATL? DFHSM – Which user is generating recalls? RAID - Which logical volumes share physical disk media? Productivity - How can routine storage tasks be automated? What are yours?

Example: For TotalStorage Array Problem Detection
Allows users to know when a raid rank is not performing due to a problem with an array so that they may take corrective action
Allows users to be alerted via situations when an array has been identified as being in any of the following conditions:
Raid Degraded. One or more array members need rebuilding DDM Throttling. A Near-line DDM in the array is throttling performance due to temperature or workload. RPM Exception. A DDM with an slower RPM than the normal
array DDMs is a member of the array as a result of a sparing action.

E3270 Near Term History
Provides access to TEPS/TEMS “short term history” data stored in PDS (persistent data store) files.
“h” action key is now reserved for accessing history screens. Previous h actions have been changed.
Part of HKOB730 (OMNIMON base v7.3) PARMGEN change: the default allocation for the RKS3DSA1 group has been
increased to allow for 3 days retention. Your allocation value will most likely require tuning.
History configuration can be edited in either E3270 or TEP. Configuration gotcha: enabling TEPS-only features (e.g. data warehouse options)
will prevent you from modifying the configuration in E3270. Data will be available regardless.

Dataset Attributes Group - Review
A group definition is a set of conditions evaluated over the properties and attributes of a collection of datasets
– Properties are dataset properties such as DSN, catalog, SMS class, VOLSER. – Attributes are attribute group values which have been collected for the dataset.
Examples: allocated space, EXCPs, percent used, days since creation, etc. Property conditions are OR’ed Attribute conditions are AND’ed Example group: all datasets with HLQ=TDSMS.** and management class=PROD
where percent used > x or days since creation > 30 days

DFSMShsm environment, including tape. Automates data collection and corrective actions Proactive notification and alerts to critical problems
which can be expertly resolved before a system outage occurs
Finds and can correct 100% of DFSMShsm errors Prove integrity of DFSMShsm environment Operates many times faster than native DFSMShsm
commands, without performance impact on DFSMShsm
Ease-of-Use and performance permits regular rather than periodic audits
Maintaining healthy, efficient DFSMShsm environment reduces CPU cost
TEP Interface makes it much easier to detect, drill down, and diagnose problems – even linking to other products, and allowing key actions to be initiated from the TEP in response to situations
Enhanced reporting on estimate of HSM errors, Rebuild HSM managed tape data to recover from error or disaster, New HSM auditing reports
Regular HSM audits help Maintain the complex data structure of the DFSMShsm Control Datasets (CDS) to prevent outages and improve efficiency

Advanced Allocation Management for z/OS
Formerly Tivoli Allocation Optimizer: Enables users to avoid and recover from X37
type abends such as B37, D37, and E37 abends and NOTCAT2 situations
Provides ability to simulate changes before implementing
Handles all DASD data sets, both SMS and non SMS-managed (VSAM and non-VSAM). Used with SMS, all unsuccessful DASD allocations are eligible for recovery
Maximizes use of the current volume before attempting to allocate additional volumes - dynamically adjusting catalog and control blocks only when an extent is needed
Limits fragmentation of a data set on a single volume and across multiple volumes, preserving valuable catalog space and memory-based control block storage
TEP integration and take-action makes it easy to see issues and intervene
Overall Control of Allocation•Greater control with SMS and non-SMS•Non-SMS volume group definition•Re-direction of unit type•Allocation based on variety of variables•Non-SMS placement based on resource metrics•Set or override over 50 allocation attributes •Make DATACLAS, override JCL
