IT Simplification

CICS customers face potential skills problems. To help, CICS TS V4.1 aims to control costs by simplifying IT infrastructure and improving development and operations productivity through easier-to-use interfaces and functions.

The most obvious change is the CICS Explorer, the new face of CICS. It gives users a more powerful tooling environment to help experienced, skilled IT staff to be more productive and provide a more intuitive experience for less experienced team members. It also plays a vital role in establishing and handing over best practices to the next generation of IT staff.

CICS Events offer further help in system management. Noninvasive CICS events emission greatly reduces the effort required to event-enable an application while integrated system management provides the necessary operational control.

Further costs control comes through improvements in performance in traditional workloads, dynamic workload management, TCP/IP connectivity and XML parsing.
