Troubleshooting ONC
Stabilized feature: CICS® support for Open Network Computing Remote Procedure Call (ONC RPC) is
stabilized. Consider exposing and orchestrating applications as API services by using z/OS Connect Enterprise Edition or CICS
web services, or by writing web applications in Java or Node.js. See also Stabilization notices and discontinued functions.
