LightyearLightyear CICS TS V3 CICS TS V3 TechTalksTechTalks

April 26th Integrating CICS applications in a Service-Oriented Architecture

This TechTalk is intended for application designers and programmers. It includes: using the new Web Services Assistant to publish existing and new CICS application functions as Web

Services, and enable CICS applications to issue SOAP requests to other Web Service providers; other programming enhancements in areas such as Web Support and a new inter-program communication technique that eliminates the 32K COMMAREA size limit.

May 10th Up and Running with CICS Transaction Server

This TechTalk is intended for systems programmers and administrators. It includes: migration guidance for TS Version 3; using the new CICS Configuration Manager tool for administration and change control of system definitions; enhancements in the newly available release 4 of CICS Performance Analyzer.
