1. Application Runtime for CICS User's Guide
  2. Preface

Preface

This guide provides explanations and instructions for configuring and using Oracle Tuxedo Application Runtime for CICS (CICS Runtime) when developing and running On Line Transaction Processing (OLTP) applications on a UNIX/Linux platform.

This guide describes the steps required to implement and perform COBOL CICS transactions, whether they are migrated from z/OS CICS or newly written for UNIX applications.

In addition, this guide helps you to:
  • Configure CICS Runtime software.
  • Declare components to CICS Runtime.
  • Run a CICS Application.

To illustrate this purpose, the User Guide provides a detailed description of the deployment and administration of the Simple Application in a UNIX environment.
