ICKY. So I have to put in the XE piece and access the TEMS to look at
anything. The setup for that has pretty bad and confusing
documentation, and is an unwieldy implementation. Besides, I was told
by Omegamon support that there was nothing in the GUI that I couldn't
get to in the VTAM classic sessions, it would just look better and
could be analyzed using Excel and the like.
Did it occur to anyone in Omegamon support that I might like to look
at the TSO/VTAM CUA type display?
I GUESS NOT!!!!

I certainly don't want to step into a messy thread here (why do I feel
that it's to late?) but here goes....
The XE levels of the V41 OMEGAMONs are where all the power of the
products are. They allow you to use the Tivoli Enterprise Portal (TEP)
and it's "single pane of glass" architecture to combine distributed
monitoring and System z OMEGAMONs all on one GUI. The overall technology
is called IBM Tivoli Monitoring (ITM for short). Once you are
comfortable with the attributes (metrics), workspaces, situations and
queries of one product, you can jump over to any other product without
any problems.
As far as VTAM monitoring, the OMEGAMON XE for Mainframe Networks
includes the MFN II (CUA) 3270 based product, which still provides VTAM
monitoring. However, there are a lot more features available if you
implement the XE agent and the TEP. For instance, FTP session monitoring
and VTAM EE and HPR connection.
Here's the latest ITM doc, which has some excellent manuals in it.
Especially the installation manual:
