Description
CICS TS for VSE/ESA R1.1.1 delivers the CICS Web Support that was
announced with CICS TS for VSE/ESA R1 together with other functions
previously only available on the OS/390 platform:
CICS Web Support
CICS capability in the World Wide Web environment has been introduced
with new function and a highly customizable interface.
HTTP requests can be sent directly from a Web browser to CICS TS for
VSE/ESA without the need for an intermediate gateway. CICS processes the
request and returns the results to the Web browser. Transactions
conducted on the Web can now benefit from the high level of throughput
that CICS provides.
The CICS Web Support allows customers with a secure private network to
use the proven transaction processing qualities of CICS for transactions
conducted over the Web. New and existing CICS applications can take
advantage of the richness of the user interface provided by Web browsers.
The CICS Web Support has been structured as a CICS domain, providing
improved reliability and serviceability.
The addition of new EXEC CICS application programming interface commands
for the manipulation of web entities allows the definition and management
of HTML templates.
A Web browser is an HTTP client. The Web browser constructs an HTTP
request, which is passed across the network to TCP/IP for VSE/ESA in the
server. TCP/IP for VSE/ESA relays the request to the CICS Web Interface,
which calls a CICS program to service the request. The output from the
CICS program is sent back to the Web browser in an HTTP response.
The CICS Web Support can be used to allow Web browsers to use:
-
Existing CICS programs and the transaction processing services they
provide
-
Newly-created CICS programs that exploit the facilities of HTTP and the
hypertext markup language (HTML)
The HTTP request is subject to the limitations of the remote procedure
call model of distributed computing because:
-
It is not possible to coordinate changes to recoverable resources in
successive requests to the same CICS system
-
Committing changes to recoverable resources is under the control of the
CICS system, not the Web browser
The called program executes under a CICS transaction that has no
principal facility. That means that certain application programming
interface commands cannot be used. These include:
-
Terminal control commands that refer to the principal facility
-
Options of EXEC CICS ASSIGN that return terminal attributes
-
BMS commands
-
Signon and signoff commands
In addition, the CICS Web Support, in conjunction with the 3270 Bridge,
can be used to provide Web browser access to existing 3270-based
transactions without requiring any application changes.
Bridging to CICS 3270 Applications
The 3270 Bridge provides a means of using 3270-based CICS transactions
other than from a terminal.
The bridging facility allows existing applications to be integrated into
new applications, using a BMS applications data structure, or the non-BMS
datastream, that the application produces without requiring changes to
the existing applications. This supports pseudo conversational
transactions, conversational transactions, transactions with multiple
units-of-work (UOWs), and started transactions.
The business logic can be accessed, without the need to separate it from
the presentation logic, by intercepting the terminal application
programming commands issued.
For those applications without the original source statements of their
BMS maps, a tool is provided to regenerate the macros from the runtime
object mapset load module.
CICS starts a bridge transaction to manage access to the 3270-based
transaction. CICS understands the transport mechanism through which the
request to run the 3270 application was received, whether it is the Web,
or one determined by the customer.
The bridge transaction specifies a user-replaceable module that is a
message-driven program responsible for supplying details of the 3270
transaction to be run and which context to use. It is then subsequently
invoked for each terminal/BMS request issued by that transaction.
The data is then either received from, or passed to, the transport
mechanism for shipping to the end-user applications, or used for
integration with new applications in the same CICS region.
In addition to any application-specific code written by the customer,
sample generic code is supplied using temporary storage or transient data
as the transport mechanism, also adapted for use with MQSeries®.
The bridge is a fundamental part of one of the new CICS Web functions.
Other Enhancements
Temporary storage has been enhanced to support queue names of 16
characters.
A transaction based CEDF has been added which has the name CEDX
Use CEDX to monitor and debug non-terminal transactions. The transaction
you specify for debugging can be:
-
Initiated without an associated terminal; for example, by an EXEC CICS
START command, or by a transient data queue trigger level
-
Initiated at a terminal, which can be either the EDF terminal or a
different terminal
New Product Packaging
CICS TS for VSE/ESA R1.1.1 provides a new release of CICS, CICS/VSE V2R3,
REXX for CICS, Report Controller Feature (RCF), CICS Universal Clients
and CICS Gateway function in a single product, with one program number
and one price.
The following components are included in the CICS Transaction Server for
VSE/ESA:
CICS/VSE V2R3
During the transition to CICS TS for VSE/ESA R.1.1.1, customers may want
to have both CICS TS and CICS/VSE V2R3 active at the same time. VSE/ESA
V2R5 accommodates that requirement. CICS/VSE V2R3 is shipped on the
extended base tape of VSE/ESA V2R5 and can be installed and used on
VSE/ESA V2R5 with no charge beyond the price of CICS TS for VSE/ESA
R.1.1.1. CICS TS and CICS/VSE V2R3 may run independently, or be
connected by MRO.
REXX for CICS
REXX for CICS Transaction Server for VSE/ESA provides a native REXX-based
application development, customization, prototyping and procedures
language environment for REXX/CICS, along with associated runtime
facilities.
CICS Universal Clients R3.1.1
The IBM CICS Universal Clients R3.1.1 is developed from the CICS Clients
V2. This is a 32-bit product, delivered for the OS/2®, Windows NT™,
Windows™ 98, AIX®, and Solaris platforms. It brings the any-to-any
communication capabilities previously only available on Intel®-based
platforms also to AIX and Solaris.
The CICS Universal Clients also provide a range of functional
enhancements, including a Security API, improvements to installation, and
an application for workload management.
CICS Transaction Gateway R3.1.1
The IBM CICS Transaction Gateway provides powerful mechanisms for
enabling access from the Internet to the tried and trusted transactional
capabilities of IBM CICS servers (including CICS Transaction Servers and
TXSeries™ servers). The CICS Transaction Gateway uses the latest
technologies, both HTTP and Java™ based, to link the open,
object-oriented world of Web browsers on the Internet or an intranet, to
the power, flexibility, integrity, and robustness of CICS enterprise
computing.
The CICS Transaction Gateway is provided for the OS/2, Windows NT, AIX,
and Solaris platforms. It also supports Windows 98 for application
development. It runs on the same system as the Web Server, and is
capable of supporting a large number of concurrent users. It is an
integrated product which incorporates the functions provided by the CICS
Universal Clients R3.1.1, enabling communication with a wide range of
CICS Servers.
The CICS Transaction Gateway enables any Internet-connected desktop
workstation or Network Computer to provide access for your customers,
your business partners, or your distributed sales force to your
business-critical core corporate applications on CICS.
Report Controller Facility (RCF)
Both the Report Controller Facility for CICS/VSE V2R3 and the Report
Controller Facility for CICS Transaction Server for VSE/ESA are included
in the product package for no additional charge.
RCF provides distributed control over printing and printer devices. It
is designed so that anyone with data processing skill can control the
printing of reports without any previous knowledge of CICS. ("Reports"
meaning spool files managed by RCF via VSE/POWER.)
End-user departments, operations staff, and programmers can use RCF in
different ways to manage report production. Control over when, where,
and how reports are printed, and by which printers, can be given to the
people concerned with those reports and printers. Printers may be owned
by CICS, or by VSE/POWER.
RCF provides:
-
Special options of the EXEC CICS SPOOL commands, for writing programs to
create reports
-
An online tool for managing reports created either by using these
commands, or by batch programs
-
An interface that transfers reports to CICS printers
CICS Distributed Data Management (CICS/DDM)
CICS/DDM(VSE), program number 5686-018 is available as a no-charge
optional feature of CICS TS for VSE/ESA R1.1.1. It is not offered as an
optional product of VSE/ESA V2R5.
Year 2000
This product is Year 2000 ready. When used in accordance with its
associated documentation, it is capable of correctly processing,
providing, and/or receiving date data within and between the twentieth
and twenty-first centuries, provided that all products (for example,
hardware, software, and firmware) used with the product properly exchange
accurate date data with it.
Euro Currency
This program is EuroReady.
For more information on the implications of the euro, visit the IBM euro
Web site at:
EuroReady Products
IBM considers an IBM product to be EuroReady if the product, when used in
accordance with its associated documentation, is capable of correctly
processing monetary data in the euro denomination and of respecting the
euro currency formatting conventions (including the euro sign). This
assumes that all other products (for example, hardware, software and
firmware) that are used with this product are also EuroReady. IBM
hardware products that are EuroReady may or may not have an engraved euro
sign key on their keyboards.
Currently, EuroReady status applies primarily to IBM products specific to
the EMU countries. Products that are not specific to these countries are
deemed to be "not ready" for euro unless otherwise stated in the
product's country-specific specifications.
IBM Hardware Ready
IBM supplies certain IBM products which include third party software
(pre-loaded or not) and/or third party attached hardware. In these
instances IBM is not in a position to assert that these third party
products are, in themselves, EuroReady.
Therefore, such IBM products will be designated as Hardware ready.
EuroReady Solutions
IBM considers a solution to be EuroReady when the solution providers
have:
-
Analyzed the euro requirements, including the need to comply with
relevant EC rules
-
Built in appropriate function
and can clearly demonstrate this by:
-
Detailing euro related requirements
-
Describing how these will be implemented in the solution
-
Declaring when the implementation will be generally available
The euro capabilities of a EuroReady solution will be clearly identified
as features of the Solution specification as described in the contracts
document.
