CICS Web support and the CICS business logic interface

CICS® Web support is a collection of CICS services that enable a CICS region to act both as an HTTP server, and as an HTTP client. When CICS is an HTTP server, Web clients can use transaction processing services by calling CICS programs or by running CICS transactions. When CICS is an HTTP client, a user application program in CICS can initiate a request to an HTTP server, and receive a response from it. Web clients use TCP/IP to communicate with CICS Web support.

The CICS business logic interface allows other external users to use transaction processing services.
