Re: How Many OMEGAMON ICATs Can Run At The Same Time?.

Here, I (from the z/OS department) have the honour to do all installs. It is quite technical, z/OS related and complicated, so having one person get ICAT under control was decided enough effort and the various product specialists provide the required information and assistance when needed. Kees.

Sounds doable. And I could just use a CA-OPS/MVS TOD rule to do it. Someone has pointed out that CA-OPS/MVS is already trapping all console messages and doing a match against the MSG rules, followed by a dispatch of any REXX MSG rule(s) which match the message id. So putting in a well coded REXX
