OS/390 CICS/ESA Concepts

CICS

Serebra Learning Corporation
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.

  • R asked: please send me more detail on this course
  • B asked: I'm our company's database adaministrator. We've recently upgraded from CICS . to CICS TS . under OS v .. We're currently upgrading from OS v . to ZOS .. I'd like to learn enough about CICS to be able to clean up the mess we have. We're currently using consultants that work remotely, and aren't getting things cleaned up. We're interested in merging some of our multiple CICS regions and I'd like to be able to create test regions. Do you have training that would be helpful to me? I probably won't be able to attend classes, so I'm thinking online or home study. I'll go to my boss with a proposal after I get some information. I don't want you to call me so I entered a fake phone number.
  • M asked: I would like to know the cost of this course.
  • J asked: compare and contrast batch processing and online processing.
