Available in replay for your convenience, register now.
Developed for: CIOs, application development managers, test and quality managers, operations managers, application developers, testers, system programmers, CICS administrators and CICS operators
Technical level: Basic – intermediate
For nearly 40 years, CICS has been a leader in transaction processing, and, in conjunction with z/OS® and DB2®, has delivered levels of performance, availability and security that are hard to match. To prepare for the future and address these modern challenges, CICS will be making yet another significant contribution: reducing the skills barrier to the development of CICS applications and the management of CICS systems.
Join us for this complimentary webcast to learn about a new user interface, the IBM CICS Explorer. It will give architects, developers, system programmers and administrators a common tooling environment, with integrated access to a wide range of data and control capabilities delivered by CICS Transaction Server, CICS Tools and CICS Connectors, plus other IBM and third-party software products.
In this session, you’ll learn how the CICS Explorer and other CICS solutions work together to:
- Enable the creation of customizable, task-oriented views that will be extensible by IBM, by customers and by IBM business partners
- Provide open standards-based connectivity, enabling CICS applications to be integrated within a service-oriented architecture
- Automate detection of CICS runtime relationships, and help to analyze the collected information for use in daily IT development and operational processes
- Provide authorization and control over CICS configurations to ensure that only approved changes are made
- Support the service management processes that require a good understanding of CICS performance, from capacity planning to system tuning
Speakers: John Knutson, Marketing Manager, Problem Determination Tools and CICS Tools, Nick Garrod, Marketing Manager, CICS Transaction Server, Joe Winchester, Lead Developer, CICS Explorer, and Gary Barnett, Partner and CTO, The Bathwick Group.
