Product Overview

The CICS/Morning News (CMN) architecture comprises several key components. The Message Scheduler is responsible for managing and triggering message broadcasts based on predefined schedules or events. The User Targeting Module determines which users or groups receive each message, using criteria defined in configuration files.

The Display Handler formats and presents messages on 3270 terminals, utilizing CICS transaction integration. CMN uses VSAM or other storage mechanisms for message storage and retrieval. Communication within CMN uses standard CICS protocols.

The system is configured through administrative interfaces, allowing administrators to define messages, manage user groups, and monitor system performance. CMN supports RBAC with role-based permissions for administrative access. Security features include authentication and access control to protect sensitive information.

CMN's design emphasizes high availability and scalability, with options for redundancy and load balancing. CMN differs from other mainframe messaging systems by its direct integration with the CICS logon process, ensuring immediate visibility of important information. CMN provides detailed logging and auditing capabilities for message tracking and analysis.
