Object Monitoring Facility (OMF)
Object Monitoring Facility (OMF)
The Object Monitoring Facility (OMF) allows you to supervise objects such as
processors, disks, files, and processes within your Tandem environment. OMF monitors
objects for peripherals or subsystems, according to the object configuration stored in and
maintained by OMF. When an object does not respond to the configured settings, an
informative statement, action attention, or critical event message is routed to an EMS
collector.
The OMF application is a requester-server application running under Pathway. It is
integrated within or without the Integrated Operations Console (IOC) environment, and
is used to supervise system components. Figure 9-9 illustrates how OMF is integrated
into the Tandem system.
