CICS@GSE Nordic 2015: What’s in it for you S101

IBM’s statements regarding its plans, directions, and intent are subject to change or withdrawal without notice at IBM’s

sole discretion.

Information regarding potential future products is intended to outline our general product direction and it should not be

relied on in making a purchasing decision.

The information mentioned regarding potential future products is not a commitment, promise, or legal obligation to deliver

any material, code or functionality. Information about potential future products may not be incorporated into any contract.

The development, release, and timing of any future features or functionality described for our products remains at our

sole discretion.

Performance is based on measurements and projections using standard IBM benchmarks in a controlled environment.

The actual throughput or performance that any user will experience will vary depending upon many factors, including

considerations such as the amount of multiprogramming in the user’s job stream, the I/O configuration, the storage

configuration, and the workload processed. Therefore, no assurance can be given that an individual user will achieve

results similar to those stated here.
