Bookmark support in the enhanced 3270 User Interface
You can bookmark the main workspaces in the e3270UI for quick and easy access. Use the BOOKMARK,
BOOK, or ADDALIAS commands when viewing a main
workspace to add a bookmark (alias) to it. When
saved, these bookmarks are reusable from any
OMEGAMON product in the e3270UI. For more
information, see the What's new in the e3270UI
online help.
The default first workspace (KN3STRTI) displayed in the e3270UI has been updated to report
agent, TCP/IP, VTAM and Interface Status along with Application Health Status. If you prefer to
maintain the previous first workspace view that displayed Application Health Status only, you can
use the new Alternate Exceptions first workspace (KN3STRTN).
IBM® Z OMEGAMON® AI for Networks is bundled with IBM® Z OMEGAMON® Data Provider to make OMEGAMON data available to applications
and analytics platforms outside of OMEGAMON itself, including IBM® Instana Observability on z/OS
(Instana), the Elastic Stack, and Splunk.
IBM® Z OMEGAMON® AI for Networks integrates with IBM® Z OMEGAMON® AI Insights, a diagnostic tool that helps
identify and forecast the performance of z/OS system resources and applications. IBM® Z OMEGAMON® AI Insights uses artificial intelligence and
machine learning to analyze the behavior of your network. It identifies issues such as excess
transmit segments and drills down into the root causes contributing to anomalies. IBM® Z OMEGAMON® AI Insights generates alerts and sends timely
warning messages ensuring proactive action. Historical data is used to build and update forecast
models. Once trained, OMEGAMON AI Insights becomes proficient at identifying typical patterns. These
discerned patterns are then presented through dashboards on Elastic Kibana. You can easily detect
abnormal behavior and promptly troubleshoot by drilling down for more detail.
Enhancements to the e3270UI Alias command
These include: More Alias commands, the ability to select the Alias commands, and annotation
that describes the Alias commands.
Restructured e3270UI zERT summary workspaces
The zERT summary workspaces now give more detailed summary information for TLS, SSH and IPSec
sessions.
Support for z/OS 3.1
IBM® Z OMEGAMON® AI for Networks contains several enhancements
to support z/OS 3.1:
Three new data fields have been added, to support z/OS Encryption Readiness Technology (zERT)
TLS sessions. These are TLS Server Handshake Signature, TLS Client Handshake Signature, and TLS
Negotiated Key Share. See KN3 zERT TLS Summary Attributes
for more information.
New and updated Enum values have been added for four SSH attributes in the KN3 zERT SSH Summary
Attributes.

Reporting provided at both zCX instance and container level
Default history collection enabled for publishing IBM® Z OMEGAMON® AI for Networks data to Analytic Platforms for AI Ops,
OMEGAMON Data Provider enablement
OMEGAMON® Data Provider makes OMEGAMON attributes available to applications and analytics
platforms outside of OMEGAMON. Historical collections are a prerequisite for using OMEGAMON Data
Provider. History collection has been enabled for the following tables, making them eligible for use
with OMEGAMON Data Provider:
The attribute group KN3 Agent Status Attributes (KN3AGS) has been updated
to report metrics for agent CPU usage and time interval to last TCPC collection.
Updated e3270ui and TEP workspaces providing additional metrics.
