Abstract: Running Java applications in IBM's CICS (Customer Information Control System) transaction server enables enterprises to leverage modern application frameworks, system interoperability, and developer productivity.
This paper covers the integration of Java applications in CICS and describes the strategic value that this integration provides to enterprises wishing to modernize legacy systems. It outlines the benefits, historical evolution, technical implementation, and deployment possibilities of running Java applications in CICS environments.
This paper highlights how Java can modernize legacy mainframe applications using its portability, integration capabilities, and developer support ecosystem. Different options, such as OSGi JVM and Liberty JVM, are outlined in the article, along with their strengths, limitations, installation processes, and typical use cases.
This paper also discusses major technical features of Java-CICS integration, including the JCICS API, IBM SDK features, and CICS resource management, and their roles in enabling Java-CICS interoperability.
This paper also discusses deployment approaches, performance factors, and common problems encountered, guiding organizations towards effectively exploiting Java in mainframe-based OLTP systems.
