Workload Managment for Web Access to CICS

The Internet seems all-pervasive, and now it is in your CICS systems. This means, not just more work for you, but also more work for your CICS systems and your I/T infrastructure. How can you design your systems to handle it all?
In this IBM Redbook we first provide an introduction to Web-enabling CICS, followed by a brief overview of the building-blocks that provide the backbone of IBMÆs workload management technologies. Included in this discussion are technologies such as DNS connection optimization, TCP/IP port sharing, and Sysplex Distributor (as provided by IBM OS/390 Communications Server); together with Network Dispatcher, CICSPlex SM and CICS dynamic routing, the CICS Universal Client workload manager, and VSAM Record Level Sharing. Following this, we explain how to use these components to design a load balancing solution for whichever CICS Web-enablement strategy you have chosen.

Finally, we document three real life scenarios, where we designed, built, and tested three load balanced CICS Web-enabled solutions - a Web-aware CICS Web support application, and two servlet solutions using the CICS Transaction Gateway from both WebSphere Application Server for OS/390 and from WebSphere Application Server for Windows NT.
