How popular is CICS Transaction Server for z/OS?

CICS Transaction Server for z/OS V3…

– is the fastest selling version in history

– with over 1,500 CICS TS V3 customers

– in over 50 different countries

Of the 60 banks listed in the Fortune Global 500 (2007)…

– over 90% are running CICS TS for z/OS

– over 70% of those are running CICS TS for z/OS V3

– over 1/3rd run the CICS Transaction Gateway for z/OS V6 or above• (including 8 of the top 10)



CICS Transaction Server and System z is the combination of choice for enterprise scale transaction based services Strength

– Heavy and complex mixed workloads.

Performance– Throughput, utilization, and response times.

Scalability– Almost unlimited within a single system image.

Availability– Online changes for uninterrupted system operation.

Management– Single view of the system, with a single point of control.

Power– Sustained utilisation near 100% - all day, every day.

Flexibility– Standards based interfaces for complete SOA integration.

The difference between services hosted in CICS Transaction Server and services hosted elsewhere is in the qualities of service of the underlying infrastructure



The power and potential of Virtualization

Source: IDC, Virtualization 2.0: The Next Phase in Customer Adoption, Doc #204904, Dec 2006

The ability to reliably virtualize many thousands of applications in a single system can deliver significant cost savings as well as environmental savings

Covering the CICS environments for Corporate, Bank Card, and Retail only, CICS transaction count in production is 914 million transactions per day.

This is across 254 production regions, 119 of which are running CICS TS V3.1.

Statistics from a leading US Bank…

From the week of 24-28 March 2008, there were over 466 million production transactions per day across 388

production regions.

Peak transaction rate for a one-hour period in a single region was 1184 transactions per second.

And another leading US Bank…

CICS



How does this impact the business?

The CICS TS on z/OS approach…

– Add more CICS regions (duplicate for availability)

– Assign them priority to achieve service levels

– Integrate into existing (Sysplex) D/R procedures

– Adjust System z capacity settings if necessary

The distributed approach…

– Buy and configure hardware/software/network

– Provision for peaks, plus xx % for contingency

– Duplicate environment for DR

– Increase staffing levels to manage environment

“1000 times better than the previous UI.” - Customer “I believe it will be greatly received in our environment. Two of our development groups are keen

to try it as soon as it becomes available.” - Independent Software Vendor “Much, much more intuitive”, “A lot more room to grow”, “If you are not using it, or you're not

trying it, well, you should!” - Gary Barnett, The Bathwick Group

DEMO 1 – CICS Explorer !!



CICS ExplorerSample screenshots

The following screenshots are preliminary and subject to change, but show current

level of working code or prototypes. These are not mock-ups.



CICS Explorer - Program Definition editor - CPSM

Everything greyed out because …

… it's a 3.1 system that uses the CPSM WUI server that is

read only.



CICS Explorer - Program Definition editor - CICS CM

The editor is input capable (i.e. fields aren't grey) and

changes can be made

…because same system connected

to using CM

The history view shows who made changes, when

changed, by attribute



CICS Explorer - TD Queue resource editors

Unlike CEDA or the WUI whose editors show too much information and allow the user to make

mistakes, the CICS Explorer editors only show and present what's relevant to the resource type



CICS Explorer - No “magic” values - Journal editor

Specifying which attributes to log in a journal for a file is very involved in CEDA and the WUI

Compare again the explorer with the WUI



CICS Explorer - No “magic” values - Transaction editor

In CEDA or the WUI the user has to know the “magic values”. DTIMEOUT of a TRANDEF

contains values of "0" meaning "No timeout", "SYSTEM" meaning "Use system value" or else

a time in milliseconds.

In CICS Explorer editors, no special values are entered into text fields - everything is done with radio buttons, combos, radios,

and other advanced controls



CICS Explorer - Editor validation

… and the configuration file name has an invalid character entered.

An advantage of an Eclipse client over a browser/TSO/ISPF interface which is that keystroke by keystroke client validation

occurs making the GUI more responsive (no server roundtrips) and less errors get sent down the wire to CICS

making it faster.

Each error field has a red X next to it to show it's bad, and hovering over the red X bring up a tooltip with the error. All errors can be seen by hovering

over the red X at the top of the screen.

The pipeline definition below has two errors - 20p is not a valid number …

Core Business Systems

Business Need Necessary Functions & Services Composite Application(s)

1. Decompose the business need into its necessary functions and services

2. Reuse core business systems by exposing them to the SOA as services

3. Create new business logic as necessary and integrate with newly exposed core services

1 3

For existing users of CICS, incrementally reusing these time-tested and proven CICS assets is the fastest, lowest cost, and least risk path to SOA enablement

And the unique qualities of service provided by CICS Transaction Server for z/OS also makes CICS a compelling environment to host new business services

Service enable existing CICS assets for new business benefits



New BusinessApplication 1



CICS WAS Other Package

Reusing existing applications can significantly reduce the application development and quality assurance process

Standards based connectivity ensures compatibility with other SOA enabled service providers and service requesters

The first steps to SOA is the first step to business agility




Combine exposed core business functions and services to innovate new cross-system business functions

Use standards based SOA connectivity to ensures compatibility with process management solutions

Distributed Server farm considerations… Can be costly (equipment, space, power and cooling)

Complex networks add latency and reduce performance

Multiple data sources create silos and synchronization issues

Staffing costs are near linear (especially for mundane maintenance)

Outages can be frequent and hard to diagnose

No extra charge for this deep pre-integration!

IBM System z considerations Hundreds of 4.4GHz processors (including zAAPs)

Huge I/O bandwidth

Built in networking

Shared everything model

A pre-integrated data center in a box

In addition to the legendary mainframe qualities of service

4.4GHz CPUSystem z is a data centre in a box, and the hub for enterprise SOA.

What is the optimum platform for enterprise scale SOA deployments?



Today’s Summary. Three steps to an easier life…
