Moving to a client/server environment

When you first install Client support, it is likely that most, if not all, of your existing CICS® on System/390® transactions use 3270 data streams. To migrate to client/server solutions in a staged manner, you could use the following sequence:

  1. Use the Client 3270 emulator to run, unchanged, existing CICS on System/390 3270 applications.
  2. Use the EPI to add graphical user interface (GUI) front ends to existing CICS on System/390 3270 applications.
  3. Use the ECI to develop new client/server applications in which the display and processing logic is appropriately split between the client and the server.
