Summary:  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.

Before you start

About this tutorial

This tutorial briefly introduces the WS-AT specification to give you a better understanding of how this specification can be applied in a demo application you're going to set up. Then you learn how to enable WS-AT in CICS and WebSphere. Finally, you develop an application based on a CICS Transaction Server V3.1 sample application and change it into a web services-based application to demonstrate how to apply WS-AT in CICS and WebSphere.

Objectives

After going through this tutorial, you should:

  • Understand WS-AT.
  • Know how to enable WS-AT features in CICS and WebSphere Application Server.
  • Know how to build an application to synchronize CICS and WebSphere Application Server distributed transactions.

Prerequisites

Related content:

This article assumes that you have an intermediate understanding of web services and CICS Transaction Server V3.1, specifically how to develop a CICS web service application. For further information about CICS web services, you may want to see the CICS Transaction Server V3.1 Information Center.

System requirements

To successfully complete this tutorial, you need the following software installed on your system:

  • IBM z/OS® 1.4 or higher
  • CICS Transaction Server V3.1 (prepare two CICS regions)
  • IBM DB2® V8.2.1 for Microsoft® Windows® and DB2 V7 for z/OS
  • COBOL and C compliers for z/OS
  • IBM WebSphere Application Server V6.0.2
