Uniting mainframe-based assets with emerging technologies is fundamental to competing in today’s economy. That’s why IT managers and business analysts are constantly researching better ways to unlock the data and business logic residing on their mainframe applications. In the process, they’ve found that web service technologies and service-oriented architecture (SOA) can help reduce costs, improve operations, and bring new customer-centric e-business applications into the mix.
This white paper is designed to help you address the following CICS-specific integration challenges:
- Deliver mainframe-resident code that works within IBM’s architecture, for web-enabling CICS applications.
- Access CICS 3270 applications that were not written to leverage COMMAREA communications.
- Leverage existing business logic, data systems, and security without modifying CICS 3270 applications.
- Find easy-to-use APIs that provide direct access and control of CICS-resident applications.
- Implement a two-tier or three-tier approach that supports both Java™ and Windows® environments.
- Manage change control and performance issues associated with most multi-tier solutions.
