OMEGAMON V5.5 announced!

The announcement of a new version of Omegamon is (to me at least) always big news.  IBM on July 17th announced the new V5.5 versions of Omegamon, and along with that a new version of the IBM Service Management Suite, V1.5.

What's in the new Service Management Suite?  Here's the list:

  • IBM Service Management Unite, V1.1.3
  • IBM OMEGAMON Performance Management Suite for z/OS, V5.5.0
  • IBM System Automation for z/OS, V4.1.0
  • IBM Tivoli® NetView® for z/OS, V6.2.1
  • IBM Tivoli Asset Discovery for z/OS, V8.1.0
What's in the Performance Management suite V5.5?  Here's the list:
  • IBM OMEGAMON for z/OS, V5.5.0
  • IBM OMEGAMON for CICS on z/OS, V5.5.0
  • IBM OMEGAMON for IMS on z/OS, V5.5.0
  • IBM OMEGAMON for Messaging on z/OS, V7.5.0
  • IBM OMEGAMON for Networks on z/OS, V5.5.0
  • IBM OMEGAMON for JVM on z/OS, V5.4.0
  • IBM OMEGAMON for Storage on z/OS, V5.4.0
  • IBM OMEGAMON Dashboard Edition on z/OS, V5.5.0
  • IBM Tivoli OMEGAMON XE for DB2 Performance Expert on z/OS, V5.4.0
  • IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for Application Diagnostics on z/OS, V7.1
A lot of new feature/function will be included with Omegamon V5.5.  A lot of the focus is on capabilities that have been in CUA interface that had not yet made it to enhanced 3270 UI. Now that these functions have been migrated, this version announces the retirement of CUA interface.

Bottom line.  If you are still using the CUA interface, now is the time to look at migrating onto the new UIs.

I will be posting much more on the new V5.5s as information becomes available.
