Attributes

Tivoli® Enterprise Portal gathers data from remote agents located within your systems. The portal stores this data for OMEGAMON® XE for Storage on z/OS® in elements called attributes.

Each attribute is a characteristic of an object. For example, the All Channels Busy Percent attribute in the Logical Control Unit attribute group displays the percentage of the time that all channel paths to an LCU were busy.

Attribute groups
The OMEGAMON XE for Storage on z/OS attributes are organized into groups of related items. These groups of attributes comprise the attribute tables for the product.
Note: In the Tivoli Enterprise Portal, the names of attribute groups are preceded by "S3," which is the product code for Tivoli OMEGAMON XE for Storage on z/OS.
Attributes and workspaces
You can view the data reported for the attribute in the reports and charts displayed in the OMEGAMON XE for Storage on z/OS workspaces. The workspaces contain the table views you use to obtain information about the various aspects of your environment. The table views and graphs within each workspace report the storage attribute information you are monitoring. You can use the collected data to analyze and monitor performance.
Attributes and situations
Attributes are used in the predefined situations for the product. You can also create custom situations for to monitor the performance of your z/OS systems. These situations can monitor one aspect of your enterprise or analyze multiple conditions to alert you to problems that can occur when attribute values exceed their thresholds.
