Before you start
As many business people know, events of many different kinds can play an important role in business activities. As a result, the ability to generate, capture, and use these events is receiving a lot of focus. One business areas where events can play a large part is banking and finance, an industry (amongst many others) that makes extensive use of CICS as its transaction control system.
To provide event processing capabilities to businesses such as banking, CICS V4.1 includes support for event processing. With this feature, developers do not need to make any updates to existing applications to generate business events from them. CICS makes it easy to monitor business activities using events, or to take actions as a result of events. With the help of Websphere MQ, CICS can send events generated from applications running in CICS to external event consumers for further processing or analysis.
This tutorial is Part 1 of a series of three tutorials introducing business event processing using CICS:
- Part 1 – Gives a conceptual overview of CICS event processing, and then walks you through a step-by-step example of creating a simple business scenario in CICS
- Part 2 – Shows how to use Websphere Business Events to process CICS generated events via Websphere MQ transport.
- Part 3 – Shows you how to use Websphere Business Monitor to monitor CICS-generated events
In Part 1 we define and deploy an event binding, define resources on CICS region and trigger and capture business events We perform these tasks using a CICS region with the Event Binding Editor (a plug-in based on Eclipse). After this tutorial you will be able to design simple event processing scenarios using the CICS event processing support.
- Understand basic technology of CICS event processing support
- Define an event binding using the Event Binding Editor
- Deploy event binding resource to a CICS region
- Trigger and capture business events
You should be familiar with the basics of the CICS API.
To implement the tasks listed in this tutorial, you need:
- A Microsoft® Windows® machine
- A CICS region created on CICS TS 4.1
- CICS Event Binding Editor
