Attributes and situations

Situations are descriptions of conditions that you want to monitor on your z/OS systems. The descriptions consist of attribute/value pairs and operators such as greater than or equal. You can alter the values of attributes used in OMEGAMON XE on z/OS predefined situations to more closely suit the requires of your site, or use the OMEGAMON XE on z/OS attributes to create your own situations.

For information on creating situations, see the IBM Tivoli Monitoring: Tivoli Enterprise Portal User’s Guide or the Tivoli Enterprise Portal online help. For information about the predefined situations available with OMEGAMON XE on z/OS, see Situations.
