 | IBM CICS® Transaction Server supports the following key capabilities and benefits: Interoperability
Offers flexible intercommunication facilities allowing it to be supported and configured across a variety of networks Data management functions
Provides interfaces that allow access to data held in databases, operating system data sets, and areas within CICS itself; the file control interface provides access to transactional record-level file systems Presentation management
Supports the design of form-based applications, allowing many device dependencies to be abstracted from the application code and specified in a separate map library Real-time services
Contains control functions that supervise and control the allocation of resources within the system, allowing CICS to manage its workload in a manner optimized for transactional work Application development services
Offers a range of facilities to assist in the development of applications written in COBOL, C, C++, or PL/I Enhanced Java™ support
Provides support for the persistent, reusable Java Virtual Machine (JVM) to ensure that Java applications have a high degree of isolation from each other while achieving execution speed comparable to that of procedural languages Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) support
Supports session beans, data access beans, JCICS facilities, the Java 2 security policy mechanism and the security specification of the EJB Version 1.1 architecture; enables Performance and systems management
Ensures optimum performance for transactional applications by incorporating numerous features designed for high-performance operation, effective management of workloads in uniprocessor and multiprocessor systems, and monitoring the performance of actual workloads under a variety of conditions
