Java CICS.PeerLogic, Inc., has introduced Java CICS (Customer Information Control System) A TP monitor from IBM that was originally developed to provide transaction processing for IBM mainframes. It controls the interaction between applications and users and lets programmers develop screen displays without . (JCICS JCICS Joint Council on International Children's Services JCICS Java CICS ). which directly links production run-time CICS applications with Java on open systems. LiveContent TRANS with JCICS can access "locked" information from mainframe legacy applications through an open systems platform. With 70% of the world's business data and more than two billion lines of COBOL COBOL: see programming language. COBOL in full Common Business-Oriented Language. High-level computer programming language, one of the first widely used languages and for many years the most popular language in the business community. business logic still residing on mainframes, PeerLogic LiveContent TRANS software makes it possible, it is claimed, to reuse legacy assets in new ebusiness Java applications on open systems servers. The migration of powerful and complex COBOL code and business rules from large legacy and or enterprise-class applications from a mainframe to a UNIX server A medium to large-scale computer system in a network that runs under Unix. Unix servers are widely used as application servers and database servers and are available from a variety of vendors, including Sun, IBM, HP and others. with LiveContent TR-ANS has proved to save millions of dollars in the cost of software and hardware. Equally important, the move from mainframe to open systems is seamless and risk-free. JCICS enables the integration of these enterprise systems with new Java and EJB (Enterprise JavaBeans) A software component in Sun's J2EE platform, which provides a pure Java environment for developing and running distributed applications. EJBs are written as software modules that contain the business logic of the application. applications. |
