Creating a user profile
Tivoli OMEGAMON XE on z/OS 4.2.0 Creating a user profile
This training module provides instructions about how to create a user profile for OMEGAMON® XE on z/OS®. By the end of this module, you should be familiar with creating and customizing user profiles for OMEGAMON XE on z/OS.
Profile types
Profile types A profile is a set of controls and thresholds that are used to monitor the MVS system Profile type /C is the default that is used during installation verification Profile type /I is created when an installation profile is saved with thresholds and customized options Specialized user profiles can be created for specific purposes such as groups of users
OMEGAMON uses controls and thresholds to monitor the MVS system. These controls and thresholds for a user or group of users constitute a profile. Two profile types, /C and /I profiles, are created when OMEGAMON is installed. A /C profile is a default profile that cannot be modified. The /C profile is used during OMEGAMON installation verification and is the default profile if no others exist. A /I profile is created when the default /C profile is saved to provide a better default profile for the site. Specialized user profiles are used for a single user or group of users. You can create as many profiles of this type as needed. Assign each profile a unique two-character identifier when it is saved, and specify the required profile ID at logon. Operations staff can use these specialized profiles for specific purposes, such as different shift workloads. For example, a prime shift operator can monitor critical online applications, while a second shift operator focuses on a batch payroll job.
Current profile
Current profile The top line of the OMEGAMON menu shows the profile that is in effect
This is the OMEGAMON main menu. The top line of the OMEGAMON main menu specifies which profile is in effect. In this case, OMEGAMON is using the profile /I.
Creating a profile
Creating a profile From the main menu, select P PROFILE
Select P PROFILE to create different profiles for users.
Creating a profile
Creating a profile From the Profile menu select A EXCEPTIONS
From the Profile Maintenance and Session Controls menu, select A EXCEPTIONS.

Creating a profile From the Exceptions menu select H JOB
From the Set Exception Analysis Thresholds menu, select H JOB to display the Address Space Related Exceptions screen.
Addressing exceptions
Addressing exceptions On the Address Space Related Exceptions screen, remove the comment character (>), overtype cccc with XMTA, and remove TERSE
Remove the comment character (>) from the first column and overtype cccc with XMTA. Remove the keyword TERSE.
Addressing exceptions
Addressing exceptions The new command is XACB LIST = XMTA
The new command is XACB LIST = XMTA.
Changing the BOX and THRESHOLD parameters
Changing the BOX and THRESHOLD parameters Change the BOX and THRESHOLD parameters
In this example, you are changing the BOX and THRESHOLD parameters. Change the BOX character from a plus sign (+) to an asterisk (*). Change the box color intensity from CLR2 to CLR3. Make the box attribute stand out by changing the option from NONE to BLINK. For the THRESHOLD parameters, change the color intensity from Display=CLR2 to Display=CLR3. Make Attribute stand out by changing NONE to REVERSE video.
Task tables
Task tables
Press PF3, the back key, until you come to the PROFILE MAINTENANCE AND SESSION CONTROLS screen. Choose C MISSING TASKS. Select A to show the current table.
Change missing task table
Change missing task table Type over the current task name and press Enter
This list shows all the tasks that are monitored by the missing task analysis exception. To change a task name, type over the current name with a new one and press Enter.
Add to missing task tables
Add to missing task tables Type over NAME and STATE with the new task name and state and press Enter
To add a name to the list, space over the comment character (>) in front of MTA and type over name,state with the new task name and state (Auto or A, ON or OFF). Press Enter. You can add multiple tasks by enclosing each name,state in parentheses, separated by a comma or space.
Add to missing task tables
Add to missing task tables Enter the job name and turn on the exception, MTA add (ATM,ON)
Overtype the comment character (>), replace the name with the job name, and turn on the exception, MTA add (ATM,ON)
Saving the profile
Saving the profile
Save these changes to a new profile. From the Profile Maintenance and Session Controls menu, select G, SAVE/DELETE.
Saving the profile
Saving the profile
Select C SAVE, SAVE YOUR PROFILE.
Saving the profile
Saving the profile Remove the comment character (>) in front of PPRF SAVE and type the two-character suffix of the profile
To save a user profile, remove the comment character (>) in front of PPRF SAVE. Type a space followed by the profile’s two-character suffix, for this example, 01. Press Enter. Confirm the request to save by typing y after Response=.
Saving the profile
Saving the profile The ATM job is automatically registered in the 01 profile
As a result of the changes saved to profile 01, ATM is displayed in the list of missing jobs in the Operation Status.
Saving the profile
Saving the profile The PAYROLL job is registered in the 02 profile
Using the same technique, you can create profile 02 for the night shift, replacing job ATM with job PAYROLL.
Logging on with Supersession
Logging on with Supersession
There are several ways of logging on to OMEGAMON to ensure that the correct profile is used. If a front-end application such as CL/Supersession is used, the administrator adds an application. This application points to the OMEGAMON user application ID and adds User=01 in the data field.
Logging on with VTAM
Logging on with VTAM For VTAM®, on the welcome screen enter this line: LOGON APPLID (OMEG01) DATA(USER=01)
The format to log on directly using the VTAM10 welcome screen varies, depending on other VTAM settings. You can enter LOGON APPLID (OMEG01), DATA(USER=01) or LOGON APPLID=OMEGARC, DATA=(USER=01). See your VTAM systems programmer for ways to customize your OMEGAMON logon.
