Situation edit support in the e3270 ui

As I mentioned a while back, you now have the ability to create, edit. delete, stop and start situations in the OMEGAMON enhanced 3270 user interface (e3270ui).  What this means is that now you can fully manage your alert processing without having to define an deploy a Tivoli Enterprise Portal.

It's easy to access the situation editor in e3270ui.  To see the situations defined in the infrastructure, go to 'Edit' on the tool bar and then select 'Situations' from the drop down menu, as in the example below.

 When you select situations you will see a navigation tress with situations listed by managed system type.  You may expand the navigation tree and then select a situation to view or manage.

When you select the edit mode for a situation you see the following display.

Note how similar the situation editor looks to the situation editor as it appears in the Tivoli Portal.  You can define situation distribution, expert advice, and actions from the situations.

OMEGAMON Dashboard Edition (DE) in the Enhanced 3270 UI

In the Enhanced 3270 user interface OMEGAMON has had Dashboard Edition (DE) support for some time.  What does DE support mean?  It means that you may go to a dashboard, such as the example below, that shows the status of OMEGAMON situation alerts in the monitoring infrastructure. 

Here you see an example of a hierarchical display of OMEGAMON, with the various managed systems and the situations with their status within those systems.

Another major recent enhancement has been the addition of edit support for situations in the enhanced 3270 UI.  I will post more on this in a follow up.
