We just had the sales/tech team in talking to us about Omegamon. I was left with a question on How much effort does this product take to install and configure? On the iSeries? Intel?
If you are using it what are the positives? What doesn't work the way you thought it would?
How does it help in disasters? You know those days that the Queue manager has crashed and ever IBM doesn't have a clue?
Thanks in advance

Installation, on platforms other than mainframe, is basic and easy to do. Not sure about the mainframe side, our guys seem to usually have an easy time with it, but there have been problems.
Positives? We think the name is cool.
Negatives? We were told that there were certain functions, at a later date we werere advise by their support that the functions did not work. I could not say it functions at 100% at anytime and if my life depended on it's reliability, I would be a dead man. Support???? Good luck when needing support, that can take days or weeks to resolve and most of the time, you end up resolving the issue on your own and they call you 2 weeks later and then want to know what you did........
Never really had any disasters, but if we did, we would not rely on this product to get us out of a jam.
Best advice...Run, run quickly!!!! |

Hi
Well mostly I agree with UglyAngelX althoug I am not as strongly against it. Omegamon XE comes with some great overview across platforms.
In case og disaster (QMGR crash) you can easily roll out your objekt definitions from your xml file which is generated in CNP and you are up and running quickly provided you did make the extraction.
I am running omegamon xe with CNP and CMW on z/OS, HPUX, SUN Solaris and W2K. without it there would be considerable overtime....
Support however could definitivly be better.
Hope this helped
Regards

Thanks for the info............
Have you have any information on the future of Omegamon since the IBM purchase on Candle.
Do you think Omegamon will be a viable product much longer?
I would hope that IBM would incorporate some kind of MQ management package into Websphere not that they own a tool but who knows......
Thanks again for your input!! |

| IBM own Tivoli - which has quite reasonable MQ management options and a sort of starting point for MQSI management. |
