Resource adapter compatibility

CICS® Transaction Gateway can be used with earlier versions of the resource adapters.

CICS Transaction Gateway can facilitate communications with CICS through resource adapters that are at the same version as CICS Transaction Gateway or at an earlier version. If you are migrating CICS Transaction Gateway to a later version, you can optionally migrate the earlier version resource adapters to the same level as CICS Transaction Gateway but this is not mandatory.

The following rules apply when using different versions of CICS Transaction Gateway and resource adapters:

Note:
  • To find out which version number a resource adapter has, see the information provided by the application server for the resource adapter version. For example if you are using WebSphere® Application Server, use the Administration Console to view the deployment descriptor for the installed resource adapter.
  • The upward compatability for the resource adapters is maintained, so that older resource adapters work with newer Gateway daemons, but after a release of CICS TG is out of support, no compatability testing is done for the out of support resource adapters.
