OMEGAMON and distributed servers: OMEGAMON classic and OMEGAMON II 3270 applications do not require any distributed installs. OMEGAMON XE and DE use a browser to provide a single GUI for mainframe, distributed, Middleware, Systems & Workload automation. This GUI is optional, but recommended, and requires a distributed server. This server can be run on Linux on zSeries (IFLs) or on Unix (AIX, HP/UX, Solaris) or Windows. As pointed out earlier MAINVIEW supports its browser and multi-system views from a z/OS based server.
OMEGAMON DE includes OMEGAVIEW 3270 which allows for multiple LPAR views. But the browser interface is much more powerfull in that it allows for middleware and distributed to also be viewed for an Enterprise view of business services impact. Some customers view distributed servers as a benefit, they like to offload expensive z/OS MIPS/ MSUs to inexpensive distributed or Linux on zSeries. The Hub TEMS that many of you have on z/OS can be migrated to Linux on zSeries, Unix or Windows and still use LDAP to RACF. If you really want multi-system view and don't have or want to have a distributed box, there is sample code on IBM.com OPAL that allows the browser to directly connect to the z/OS TEMS. This code does provide multi-system views, but is not nearly as robust as the supported code in the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server (TEPS). For those of you with TBSM, the current version also includes the Tivoli Integration Portal (TIP) which can access OMEGAMON XE data w/o the TEPS. Here is a sample web browser (no applets downloaded) SOAP application on OPAL that provides multiple subsystems on a single screen with access to any data that is in XE. This application returns multiple systems data with subsecond response. Sample application is OMEGAMON XE for z/OS via Web browser IE or Mozilla.
