Overview
CICS Developer Trial is an exciting new offering from IBM, a new try-before-you-buy version of CICS TS V4.2.
CICS TS Developer Trial V4.2 is free of charge and for evaluation (non-production) use only, offering a full set of features but with restricted performance and limited operational lifespan.
- CICS TS Developer Trial V4.2 will be updated, periodically, to include the latest service fixes, and to provide an evaluation period of at least 90 days. There is no limit to the number of copies and subsequent releases of CICS TS Developer Trial V4.2 that can be ordered and used.
- IBM has also launched CICSdev an online community for CICS users to discuss, share and learn. This represents a unique opportunity to gain insight from IBM and other users about CICS. IBM will also be offering guidance through the forums on CICSdev so that Developer trial users get the most from their experience.
- CICS TS Developer Trial V4.2 is available from IBM through ShopzSeries as a standard offering. (To simplify the ordering process, the 'evaluation' order option in ShopzSeries should not be selected.)
- In countries where ShopzSeries is not yet available, contact your IBM representative (or IBM Business Partner) to handle your order using the standard IBM ordering process.
- Operating systems supported: z/OS
