This topic describes how Web services in CICS affects
migration to CICS® Transaction Server for z/OS®, Version 3,
and how it coexists with other functions.
Migration of existing functions
If you use the SOAP for CICS feature, you must perform a number
of tasks to migrate applications that use the feature. The support for Web
services provided in CICS Transaction Server for z/OS, Version 3 Release 1 is
substantially different from that provided in the feature.
Coexistence
If you use the SOAP for CICS feature, you can continue to do so;
the feature continues to be fully supported in CICS Transaction Server for z/OS, Version 3 Release 1,
independently of Web services in CICS.
