Business Process Model Implementation with CICS Business Transaction Services

This redbook is primarily intended for CICS customers
who plan to implement the CICS Business Transaction Services (BTS)
application development paradigm. This extension to the CICS API and the
accompanying support services are provided by CICS Transaction Server
(CICS TS) for OS/390 Version 1 Release 3. CICS BTS helps you to implement
your business transaction in CICS and allows the system to control
the execution times and steps that are needed to complete it.

We start by introducing base CICS BTS concepts and terminology
and show use of the new API commands and CICS BTS entities by
three applications. The sample applications implement simple as
well as more complex concepts, such as compensation and interprocess
communication.

We show how top-down business entity relationship analysis
can lead to definition of CICS BTS processes and activities
in a way suitable for your organization, and we develop another application
based on this analysis. We also suggest an initial design of a universal process driver
that can help you automate the design and development of CICS BTS
applications.

Finally, we provide guidance on how to customize your CICS TS system
for support of CICS BTS and how to use the new utilities and perform
problem determination.
