Description

This feature enables people who use the IBM® Transformation Extender for Application Programming for the CICS runtime environment or the Mercator Integration Broker or Ascential DataStage TX to run multiple versions of these products concurrently in a single CICS region.

The benefit of this feature is the ability to do a staged migration to IBM Transformation Extender for Application Programming while being able to run your existing product release in the same CICS region.

This feature is only available starting with Ascential DataStage TX version 7.5. As of Ascential DataStage TX 7.5, only one prior release of Ascential DataStage TX can be used at the same time as this version.

For more information, see the topic about Multiple Command Server versions in the z/OS CICS section of the Command Server documentation in the IBM Transformation Extender information center that is published on the WebSphere Transformation Extender Library web page (http://www.ibm.com/software/integration/wdatastagetx/library/index.html). For other locations where you can find the Command Server documentation and additional documentation related to z/OS, see Related publications for z/OS.

If you are not installing multiple versions of the these products in the same CICS region, continue with Additional updates to CICS CSD definitions.
