It is assumed that you are familiar with the use of CICS® as a single system, with associated data resources and a network of terminals. This book is concerned with the role of CICS in a multiple-system environment, in which CICS can communicate with other systems that have similar communication facilities. This sort of communication is called CICS intercommunication.
CICS intercommunication is communication between a local CICS system and a remote system, which may or may not be another CICS system.
The information in this book is mainly about communication between CICS Transaction Server for z/OS® and other z/OS (or System/390®), CICS or IMS™, systems. For supplementary information about communication between CICS Transaction Server for z/OS and non-System/390 CICS systems, see the CICS Family: Communicating from CICS on System/390 manual.
For information about CICS Transaction Server for z/OS’s support for the CICS Client workstation products, see the CICS Family: Communicating from CICS on System/390 manual.
For information about accessing CICS programs and transactions from the Internet, see the CICS Internet Guide. For information about accessing CICS programs and transactions from other non-CICS environments, see the CICS External Interfaces Guide.
