software infrastructure (transactional and DBMS APIs, Web server complexity, and

communications protocols) is hidden.

A powerful simulation and test environment enables the programmer to fully test the system

without ever compiling or deploying to the final target system. This environment, built and

integrated into the development workbench, allows rapid iteration between specification and

verification. Once the application is fully verified, a code generation facility can be invoked to

transform the high level environment-neutral specifications into native 3GL source code. The

resulting source is optimized for the compilation and deployment to the selected execution

systems.

This solution combines the productivity of an iterative desktop development environment with

the scalability and the performance of a compiled and optimized 3GL production application.

IBM CICS Transaction Server for iSeries (5722-DFH)

The CICS platform is widely-used as a basis for implementing business solutions. CICS for

iSeries enables many of these existing applications to be made available on the iSeries

server without excessive costs of code conversion. iSeries applications can coexist with CICS

applications.

CICS for iSeries supports CICS COBOL Command-Level or C applications on the iSeries

server. It is based on a major subset of the CICS/ESA application programming interface

(API) and supports Minimal Function Basic Mapping Support (BMS).

If a user wants to write an application program using the CICS for iSeries API, then ILE

COBOL for iSeries or ILE C for iSeries is required. COBOL or C applications developed for

CICS/DOS/VS, CICS/OS/VS, CICS/ESA, CICS/MVS, CICS/VM, CICS OS/2, and CICS/6000

are generally source-compatible with CICS for iSeries if they use only the CICS
