CICS Transaction Gateway for z/OS

 
 
Overview

CICS Transaction Gateway for z/OS, Version 7.1

Provides standards-based connectivity from WebSphere SOA Foundation server products to CICS Transaction Server for z/OS.

  • IBM CICS Transaction Gateway has been proven over many years to provide high-performing, security-rich and scalable access to CICS Transaction Server, requiring minimal changes to CICS systems and usually no changes to existing CICS applications.
  • CICS Transaction Gateway is a Java™ 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) connector to CICS applications. It supports the standard J2EE Connector Architecture 1.5 specification (JCA 1.5) which enables better applications to be developed faster and more easily.
  • With IBM CICS Transaction Gateway for z/OS, you can use your CICS communications area (COMMAREA)-based applications in comprehensive and sophisticated Java™ and Web services solutions hosted on powerful application servers such as IBM WebSphere® Application Server.
  • Allows CICS applications rapidly to be service-enabled by connecting them to new environments - such as the Enterprise Service Bus (ESB), the heart of an SOA
  • IBM CICS Transaction Gateway for z/OS, Version 7.1, provides the highest quality of service. In this z/OS environment, CICS Transaction Gateway can support thousands of transactions per second by using multiple gateway regions, and by reusing memory-based External CICS Interface (EXCI) pipes.
  • Another advantage of deploying CICS Transaction Gateway on the z/OS platform is the provision of global transactional integrity. With global two-phase commit, a composite transaction can be physically distributed across heterogeneous servers and operating environments - without compromising data integrity.
  • Extended CICS integration support, exploiting the new IP Interconnectivity (IPIC) for DPL provided in CICS Transaction Server for z/OS (CICS TS) V3.2 and enabling J2EE applications to exchange large amounts of data with CICS programs.
  • Operating systems supported: z/OS
