Business Flexibility Depends on IT Flexibility Application Infrastructure is the cornerstone of an SOA deployment

Application infrastructure is middleware software that controls runtime execution of business applications.

A well designed infrastructure provides the ability to enhance & reuse assets for new business opportunities

IBM Application Infrastructure delivers the broadest range of capabilities to meet your application needs

How can I……meet my business objectives?

…leverage my existing resources and IT systems?

…deliver at a pace and cost which outwits my competition?

CICS TS Version 3 summaryWeb Services

Fully integrated into CICS, Capable of Inbound and Outbound calls.A standard architecture internationally accredited and widely supported.VB and dot net developers and others have no dependency on IBM for interfaces, just use the WS standard!

Web Services security and coordination – WebServices on CICS can drive or be driven by WebSphere Application Server with integrity.

HTTP 1.1 Persistence – Massive reduction in the overhead of opening and closing HTTP connections, reduced latency, reduced cycles and higher performance.

OTE (Open Transaction Environment)Higher throughput (saves cycles)USS Calls or MVS calls from within CICS applications – now possible with OTE

Containers and channels – the alternative method of data transferCommarea restrictions eliminated. NO 32K limit.Easier to Debug/Develop applications; can be retrofitted to existing applications.Reduces load –Only requested/changed data gets copied between systems; More data with lower overhead…

IBM Software Group


CICS TS Version 3 summaryService Flow Feature

A modern IDE to allow non-CICS skilled personnel to assemble CICS programs and transactions as “parts” to create programs faster with improved reliability and flexibility.

New Sample program provided in COBOL using VSAM (source included), uses WAS, WebServices and Channels and Containers..

Customers can modify this sample to use their own programs, – use for education then POCURIMAP extended so by updating URIMAP, programs can use MQ instead of HTTP without Changing or recompiling the CICS programs..

Information centre: Improved consistency with other IBM products (similar look and feel with Eclipse based technology)

All the information needed by system programmers and developers instantly available, even extending to support..

System Management WUI provides a condensed holistic view of large, complex environments.

Progressive movement toward TCP/IP communication environment, reducing impact of skills shortages in SNA.

Understanding and using CICS Web ServicesEducation course

Now based on CICS Transaction Server V3.1

This course shows how to use the Web Services support provided in CICS TS Version 3.1 to implement service requesters and service providers in CICS TS. During this 3 workshop the attendee will become familiar with:

• Key concepts underlying CICS support for Web Services (XML, SOAP, Web Services and SOA)• How a CICS program is deployed as a service provider• How a CICS program can be a service requester• Web services samples provided by CICS TS Version 3.1• How a service requester application running in WebSphere Application Server (WebSphere Studio) is

deployed and how it invokes a CICS TS Web service

The hands-on exercises begin by focusing on Web services in general and then address the implementation of service providers and service requesters in CICS TS Version 3.1.

The 2 last sessions of this year will be delivered in distance learning format. It uses a mixture of virtual classes, e-Labs and self-study. Follow it from your preferred location!

Course code: CI11FR and CI11DFR for the distance learning version. You can enrol through Global Campus or your IBM Direct contact.

CICSplex and CICSPlex SM with CICS TS workshop Education course

Now based on CICS Transaction Server V3.1

You will gain practical experience of working with CICSPlex System Manager and the implementation of a CICSplex in a parallel sysplex environment. Half of the time will be spent on lab exercises, mostly using the CICSPlex/SM Web User Interface (WUI). Each group of 3 students has it's own CICSplex running in a parallel sysplex configuration. TPNS is used to simulate a real customer environment. Based on CICS Transaction Server Version 3.1.

During this 4.5 day class, the attendee will become familiar with the CICSplex and CICSPlex/SM environment by :

• Implementing CICSPlex/SM• Understanding CICS multi-region advantages running traditional 3270 applications as well as modern

web-based applications• Dealing with transaction affinities and interdependencies• Designing the CICSplex environment (TORs, AORs, FORs, QORs and CICS TS Data Sharing facilities)• Getting practical experience with CICSPlex/SM capabilities including the SPOC, WLM, RTA, Monitoring

and BAS functions

CICS Transaction Gateway: Connecting WebSphere Application Server to CICS Education course

Now based on CICS Transaction Gateway V6.0 and WebSphere Application Server V6.0.

This classroom course shows how to use the CICS Transaction Gateway (CICS TG) to access CICS Transaction Server z/OS applications. The course focuses on the role of the CICS TG as the strategic Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) Connector to CICS Transaction Server from WebSphere Application Server. The theory elements of the course detail the recommended scenarios for using CICS TG to access CICS resources from WebSphere Application Server on both distributed platforms and on z/OS. A new unit on problem determination has been added to this class.

The hands-on exercises focus on the z/OS implementation of the CICS TG including customisation, problem determination, deploying applications to WebSphere Application Server for z/OS, workload management and security. You will also be shown how Rational Application Developer can be used to generate connector code ('J2C beans') from existing CICS COMMAREA-based programs.
