Bruce: Somebody will jump in and correct me if I'm incorrect, I'm sure, but were you aware that the Tivoli Enterprise Portal (TEP) license (and code) is already included with any of the Tivoli OMEGAMON XE products, including the no charge OMEGAMON XE Management Console for z/OS? I wasn't sure since you were talking about paying license fees.
Also, you may install TEP on Linux on System z if you'd like a 100% mainframe-hosted solution. (TEMS can run on z/OS.) Would that be an option for you? You'll still need a PC for the graphical client, but IBM has made that compatible with both Linux and Windows now. So you don't even need a Microsoft Windows license if that's an obstacle. Hope that helps. - - - - - Timothy Sipples IBM Consulting Enterprise Software Architect Specializing in Software Architectures Related to System z Based in Tokyo, Serving IBM Japan and IBM Asia-Pacific E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
