Setting the threshold highlighting in the enhanced 3270 user interface

So you have just installed OMEGAMON V5.1 and you have logged onto the enhanced user interface for the first time.  You notice that there may be some fields on the various panels that are highlighted in RED, YELLOW or BLUE, for example.  This highlighting probably represents the default threshold levels provided by the tool.

The good news is it is easy to set the highlighting to levels more specific to your installation and your requirements.  For each of the products there is a default member provided that sets the default threshold levels  -  hilev.RKANPAR(kppTHRSH).   The pp refers to the specific product.  For example OMEGAMON z/OS is KM5THRSH,  OMEGAMON CICS is KCPTHRSH, and OMEGAMON DB2 is KDPTHRSH.

The following is an example of how the thresholds are set for the KM5TOPC panel.
