CICS COMMAREA programs, CICS channels and containers programs, and
3270 programs.
Deployment topologies
CICS Transaction
Gateway can be deployed in a local mode (two-tier) topology or a remote
mode (three-tier) topology. Each topology provides different qualities
of service.
High availability High availability ensures that a single point of failure
does not cause failure of the total solution. High availability also
allows increased capacity to be provided by the addition of more components.

mechanisms integrate with security provided by the JEE application
server and with security provided by CICS.

CICS Transaction Gateway provides statistics on the performance
of runtime components. Monitoring information on individual requests
is also available.
Tooling and product integration
