Description
This course explains the basics of the Customer Information Control System (CICS). It focuses on the single-system environment but also discusses CICSplex and other CICS intercommunication facilities. CICS is IBM's general purpose online transaction processing (OLTP) software, which is used by many organizations to handle transaction processing needs. Some topics discussed in this course are online versus batch processing and the CICS/ESA processing environment; CICS/ESA architecture and resources; task, file, and program control; as well as command-level interfaces. The third unit covers CICS application programming, which explains data streams and mapping support as well as program preparation, testing and debugging, and pseudo-conversational programming. The course explains the interconnected CICS systems, their concepts, and applications. While each CICS solution is designed to run on a particular operating system and hardware platform, this course will cover CICS/ESA version 4.1.
Audience
