Agenda

1. Build a mobile application from nothing to everything a based upon the CICS Catalog Manager Sample and Worklight

2. Setup CICS, demo 3270 interface

3. Setup Worklight project

4. Run on iPhone, iPad & Android

5. In 60 minutes….

What are we going to do…

Create a mobile application based upon EGUI Catalog Manager

Dependant on the WS component of the Catalog Manager

From nothing…to running on my iPad / android

High level topology

You can follow this yourself…

Why not repeat this process for yourself?

Slides are available and can be followed

Demonstrate to the business the power of CICS & Worklight

WebServices in CICS - XML

If you want to do this for your own programs instead of the Catalog Manager CICS Sample…

1. DFHLS2WS• Pass PGMNAME• REQMEM copybook / RESPMEM copybook• URI• Generates a WSDL and a WSBIND.

2. Follow the same directions we went through
