CICS Transaction Gateway (CICS TG) V8.1 was announced today and provides significant enhancements in areas including open platform integration, scalability, high availability, security and ease of use.

 

The main theme is improved support within high availability defined environments and an extension to the CICS Explorer plugin that allows user-defined groupings of CICS TGs.  There is also some minor changes to improve compatibility, with the transaction tracking enhancements that were introduced with CICS Transaction Server V4.2 earlier this year. The move to JCA 1.6 support means that there is only a single resource adapter now that covers both XA and non-XA transactions.
