This tutorial shows how to design a business scenario and apply event processing to our business logic so that we can make our business smarter. It also shows how to send events to WebSphere® Business Events via Websphere Message Queue transport using JMS.

Before you start

In Part 1 of this series, we introduced the basic concepts and usage of CICS event processing support. In this part, we introduce a business application that uses CICS event processing. We will use this application to design business scenarios and use CICS event processing with our existing business logic. We also show how to consume CICS events with WebSphere Business Events.

Objectives

• Apply CICS event processing in existing business scenarios.
• Send CICS events using Websphere MQ.
