CICS TG for Multiplatforms V7.2 offers a number of new enhancements. It provides extended CICS integration support, exploiting the new IP Interconnectivity (IPIC) for DPL provided in CICS Transaction Server for z/OS V3.2 providing access to CICS container based applications. CICS TG V7.2 also offers extensions to its systems monitoring capabilities, including new system metrics for capacity planning, an interval statistics mechanism, integration with CICS Performance Analyzer for z/OS (CICS PA), a transaction monitoring infrastructure, and advanced workload monitoring through the support of Extended Workload Management (EWLM). It also provides new deployment options for XA support, to enable two-phase commit from J2EE applications in WebSphere Application server directly into CICS TS V3.2 , as well as new deployment options for SSL support, to enable Java clients to use an encrypted connection directly into CICS TS V3.2.
