New OMEGAMON Versions announced - V5.30!

A new version of OMEGAMON is always a festive occasion for this blogger, and the announcement of OMEGAMON V5.30 is an important event.  V5.30 includes a lot of new functionality and capability.  It includes major enhancements to e3270 user interface, and to the core OMEGAMON monitoring capabilities.  I plan to be blogging extensively about what's new in V5.30 in the coming months. 

The planned GA date for V5.30 is September 5th.  The following are the new OMEGAMON releases:

• IBM Tivoli OMEGAMON XE on z/OS V5.3
• IBM Tivoli OMEGAMON XE for CICS on z/OS V5.3
• IBM Tivoli OMEGAMON XE for Messaging for z/OS V7.3
• IBM Tivoli OMEGAMON XE for Storage on z/OS V5.3
• IBM Tivoli OMEGAMON Dashboard Edition on z/OS V5.3

Note that Messaging is V7.3.  That is because Messaging version numbers will correlate to the corresponding MQseries versions.

There are also bundling options for OMEGAMON.  There is the  OMEGAMON Performance Management Suite for z/OS V5.3.  This suite consists of the following:

• IBM Tivoli OMEGAMON Dashboard Edition on z/OS V5.3.0 (new)
