Introduction

Generally, large online CICS® applications run on an MVS™ operating system together with a collection of other supporting software products, some provided by IBM® and others by independent software vendors (ISVs). Functional additions include distributed CICS software on alternative platforms, enabling you to distribute transaction processing, with CICS on the MVS host acting as a large database server. IBM recognizes that customers traditionally run these products at various release levels--a piecemeal or mix-and-match approach.

CICS TS, together with other z/OS® Software Servers, is designed to make it easier to install and operate the mix of software you need to run your business.
