Provides alerts, finds root-cause issues and takes corrective actions

IBM OMEGAMON® for IMS® on z/OS® is a performance-monitoring software for IMS workloads, which provides a single control point in Parallel Sysplex® and monitors IMS Connect TCP/IP transactions. It is a part of the OMEGAMON family of software products.

IBM OMEGAMON for IMS on z/OS provides alerts, finds root-cause issues and takes corrective actions. It reduces potential delays and outages by monitoring near real-time metrics and analyzing historical data. It also provides access to coupling facility structure statistics, shared queue counts, database lock conflicts and more.

It is available as a stand-alone offering or as part of IBM Service Management Suite for z/OS or IBM Z Monitoring Suite.

 User roadmap based on your role Summary of features and enhancement
Comprehensive monitoring and performance management

Provides real-time visibility into IMS subsystems, tracking transaction response times across the IMSplex. With Response Time Analysis, it helps pinpoint delays and optimize performance, minimizing impact on critical applications.  
Problem detection and quick troubleshooting

Detects performance bottlenecks with bottleneck analysis displays and monitors applications exceeding service-level commitments. It quickly identifies issues, helping resolve problems before they impact system availability. 
Integration with z/OS and broader IBM Monitoring Suite

Integrates with IBM monitoring tools for unified mainframe control. IMS Commander consolidates MTO and z/OS logs, allowing IMS commands from one interface. Configuration Manager simplifies installation, streamlining configuration and reducing z/OS complexity.

Features

Real-time monitoring and automatic discovery

Provides real-time visibility into IMS performance, along with automatic discovery of all IMS and IMS Connect regions, enabling quick identification and mapping of the IMS footprint.

 Collection parameters of monitored IMS Connect regions
Performance and availability management with application response time tracking

Monitors IMS transaction performance, including response times across IMS Shared Queues (CSQ), helping to identify delays and bottlenecks within the IMSplex. Response time tracking is part of Response Time Analysis, which allows monitoring and tracking of IMS transactions in real-time.
