TXSeries for Multiplatforms
IBM® TXSeries® for Multiplatforms is a distributed transaction processing middleware that supports C/C++, COBOL, Java® and PL/I applications in data centers. It is designed to provide a scalable and highly available platform to develop, deploy and host mission-critical applications and can integrate into a mixed-language, hybrid cloud solution.
IBM TXSeries for Multiplatforms offers benefits for businesses seeking reliable, scalable and cost-effective transaction processing:
- Scalability: Scales easily to handle increasing transaction volumes, making it suitable for both small and large enterprises.
- High availability and reliability: Ensures reliable transaction processing with minimal downtime, maintaining critical business operations.
- Security: Provides robust security features, including authentication, authorization and encryption, to protect sensitive transaction data.
- Container deployment: Provides container-based deployment of TXSeries applications for streamlined application development and DevOps in cloud.
- Seamless integration: Integrates smoothly with IBM CICS® Transaction Server for z/OS, allowing businesses to extend applications to open platforms while using existing mainframe investments.
Features
Create and maintain applications on a robust, scalable and security-rich platform for business applications with two-phase commit support for XA-compliant databases and resource managers across TXSeries® systems. Support for Linux® on x86, AIX® architecture is built into the platform.
Enables CICS application developers to use the CICS APIs and all compiler capabilities in a 64-bit environment to deploy the required business applications.
Simplify the process of deploying and managing TXSeries applications within containerized environments. By using Helm charts, users can package, configure and deploy TXSeries containers consistently and efficiently across various platforms such as Kubernetes. This feature allows for streamlined orchestration, scaling and maintenance of TXSeries workloads, enhancing agility and ensuring that deployment workflows are reproducible and manageable within modern cloud-native ecosystems.
Use workload management, availability and performance features that increase efficiency and support business growth. TXSeries for Multiplatforms provides horizontal and vertical scalability and flexibility when making routing decisions. It offers simplified configuration, statistics and improved health monitoring. TXSeries for Multiplatforms includes IBM WebSphere® Liberty profile as a backbone for web-based infrastructure for improved scalability.
Use near real-time monitoring capability by using IBM Tivoli® Monitoring infrastructure to monitor entire TXSeries deployments from a single Tivoli Enterprise Portal. This simplifies administration on UNIX® platforms by allowing non-root users to perform TXSeries administrative tasks. The administration console is web-based for ease of administration, configuration and monitoring.
Take advantage of external access protocols, such as ECI and EPI, that are enabled by IBM CICS® Transaction Gateway (CICS TG). TXSeries for Multiplatforms integrates across clients and other CICS regions using TCP/IP protocol and provides support for both IPv4 and IPv6, allowing TXSeries to interoperate with clients and other CICS systems over IPv4- and IPv6-enabled networks.
Detect suspected hangs and automatically collect documents with built-in serviceability capabilities for problem determination and remediation. Monitor and collect the CICS IPC and SARPCD artifacts to monitor memory usage and plan system resources. Support for CACQ transaction and related APIs help you acquire, check and release the status of IPIC connections. Also, the diagnostic information collection utility extends to all TXSeries supported platforms.
