CICS and z/OS Connect - A Systems Programmer Perspective

Project and Program: Application Architecture Development and Integration, CICS

Tags: Proceedings, 2020, SHARE Fort Worth 2020

JSON has become a very popular protocol for program to program interoperability. CICS TS provides native JSON service, but extra work involved when exposing existing applications as RESTful APIs. z/OS Connect EE provides JSON based RESTful APIs to interact with CICS applications (and other subsystems), without having to modify existing application codes.
This session will look at z/OS Connect EE from the systems programmer’s point of view. What needs to be configured in CICS as well as z/OS Connect EE to expose CICS assets as RESTful APIs. We will also cover what is needed to have CICS programs invoke RESTful APIs.-Ezriel Gross-Rocket Software Inc.; Eric Higgins-IBM Corporation
