As part of the multi-release IP interconnectivity (IPIC) initiative, CICS TS V4.1 now provides the facility to use TCP/IP instead of SNA for key base intercommunication functions, including 3270 based transaction routing, START and CANCEL commands. This is in addition to Distributed Program Link (DPL) introduced in CICS TS V3.2 that also provides for client requests via the CICS Transaction Gateway to invoke CICS programs using the Channels and Containers programming model and the ECI interface. This session will provide in-depth guidance on how to configure both your CICS and CICS Transaction Gateway systems to fully exploit the new IP interconnectivity (IPIC) support, and provides details on how the qualities of security, transactionality and connection management are best managed along with insight into future CICS connectivity strategy.
