CICS and WAS on z/OS - New Integration Capabilities

One advantage of running Java workloads in the z/OS distribution of WebSphere Application Server is the ability to provide connectivity to CICS applications with a very high capacity and high availability. New capabilities in WebSphere Application Server, CICS Transaction Gateway, and even CICS Transaction Server itself provide additional options for configuring the connections between the Java applications and CICS applications. The speaker will describe the use of CICS Transaction Gateway and Optimized Local Adapters in WAS, capabilities of each, and considerations for choosing when to use one versus the other.
