Product Overview

KEYFAST is a CICS-based application development tool designed to simplify and accelerate the creation of data entry screens. It provides a rapid application development environment for building data entry applications within CICS. The architecture of KEYFAST is centered around its screen design interface, which allows users to define fields, validation rules, and screen layouts without requiring extensive programming.

KEYFAST leverages CICS command-level interfaces for its operations and integrates seamlessly with existing CICS environments. It supports standard CICS authentication methods and uses the access control mechanisms provided by CICS. The main system components include the screen designer, data validation engine, and CICS interface module.

These components communicate through CICS internal communication protocols. KEYFAST relies on CICS logging and auditing capabilities to track user activity and data modifications. The software is typically deployed on-premise within a CICS environment and requires technical expertise in CICS administration and application development.
