1 Architecting Java solutions for CICS

2 Architecting Java solutions for CICS Course introduction

3 Course introduction Reasons for hosting Java in CICS Requirements: Knowledge of transaction processing Experience of Java development

4 What you ll learn by the end of this course 1. CICS as a mixed language application server 2. Integrating Java applications into a mixed language environment 3. Different ways of developing and deploying Java

5 Thank you for watching

6 Overview of Java in CICS Mixed language applications in CICS

7 What is CICS? Mixed language application server High volume on-line transaction processing Provides services to host applications Multi-user access to data and messaging

8 What is CICS? 1. Transactional integrity 2. High security 3. Workload management 4. Wide range of standard connectors

9 CICS A mixed language application server COBOL REXX PL/I PHP Assembler Java C/C++ Mixed language application server

10 Mixed language applications in CICS 1. Inter-language calling between components COBOL, Java and other languages Common interfaces Independant development

11 Mixed language applications in CICS 2. Standard APIs EXEC CICS command API Language neutral syntax Translated at compile time Language specific implementation for Java

12 Mixed language applications in CICS 3. Container management Transactions and security CICS task provides UOW and security context Spans across multiple language components

13 Multiple language components CICS task Channels and containers COBOL component COMMAREA storage Java component Security & transaction context C component

14 Calling components with a COMMAREA TASK0001 (Transaction: TRAN) PROGRAM A COMMAREA FIELD1 INPUTDATA FIELD FIELD3 LINK PROGRAM TO PROGRAM B COMMAREA FIELD1 INPUTDATA FIELD FIELD3 OUTPUTDATA COMMAREA PROGRAM B READ COMMAREA BUSINESS LOGIC MODIFY COMMAREA WITH ADDITIONAL DATA

15 Calling components with channel & containers TASK0001 (Transaction: TRAN) PROGRAM A CREATE CHANNEL CREATE INPUT CONTAINER LINK TO PROGRAM B READ OUTPUT CONTAINER CHANNEL INPUT CONTAINER OUTPUT CONTAINER CHANNEL PROGRAM B READ INPUT CONTAINER BUSINESS LOGIC CREATE OUTPUT CONTAINER RETURN

16 EXEC CICS API and translator EXEC CICS LINK PROGRAM ( ) Translator Language specific statements Compiler

17 CICS transactions CICS task Transaction Definition Security Context Initial Program Unit of work Program Program
