Activating predefined situations

Several of the sysplex-level predefined situations shipped with Tivoli OMEGAMON XE on z/OS are auto-started. This means that they are both set to run at when the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server starts up and distributed to the MVS_SYSPLEX managed system list. The Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server automatically populates this managed system list with each online sysplex proxy node and these situations begin monitoring when the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server starts.

The predefined sysplex level situations that are auto-started are

All of the cryptographic coprocessor (system-level) situations are also auto-started. They are distributed to the MVS_SYS managed system list.

The remaining predefined situations are neither set to run at start up nor distributed to managed systems. You must activate these situations to use them.

To activate a situation, you distribute (assign) it to one or more managed systems or managed system lists and start it. If you want the situation to continue running across Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server restarts, check the Run at startup option.

For instructions for activating situations, see Tivoli OMEGAMON XE for z/OS: User's Guide or the Tivoli Enterprise Portal online Help.
