09 Aug 2007 The IBM® CICS® Transaction Server V3.1 now supports WS-Atomic Transaction (WS-AT), which
means CICS is capable of processing distributed transactions that can run on
different platforms. This article introduces you to WS-AT and its applications in
CICS and IBM WebSphere® Application Server, focusing on how to enable WS-AT in
CICS. You also learn about the WS-AT process for distributed transactions and how it
increases flexibility and interoperability.
Objectives - Understand WS-AT.
- Learn how to enable
WS-AT features in CICS and WebSphere Application Server.
- Learn how to build an
application to synchronize CICS and WebSphere Application Server distributed
transactions.
