PIE/CICS

UNICOM Systems Not Supported z/OS

Tools and Utilities CICS

Vendor

UNICOM Systems

Product Overview

The architecture of PIE/CICS comprises several key components. MultiCICS manages multiple CICS regions, providing a centralized interface for starting, stopping, and monitoring CICS instances. Availability Plus enhances high availability through failover and automated recovery mechanisms.

NetGate provides network gateway functions, optimizing network traffic and managing connections. NetMizer optimizes network performance, reducing response times and improving throughput. These components communicate through z/OS system services and 3270 sessions.

Configuration is managed through specific configuration files for each component. For example, MultiCICS uses configuration files to define CICS region parameters, and NetGate uses files for network settings. PIE/CICS is not supported.

Consider alternatives like IBM CICS Transaction Server, which offers a modern architecture and robust features.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is PIE/CICS and what does it do?

undefined

PIE/CICS is a suite of utilities designed to enhance and manage CICS 3270 sessions, applications, and workloads on the z/OS platform. It provides tools for session management, performance optimization, and application development support. The product suite includes components like MultiCICS, Availability Plus, NetGate, NetMizer, and NonStop CICS, each addressing specific aspects of CICS environment management.

What are the main components of PIE/CICS?

undefined

The main components include MultiCICS for managing multiple CICS regions, Availability Plus for ensuring high availability, NetGate for network gateway functions, NetMizer for network optimization, and NonStop CICS for continuous operation. These components work together to provide a comprehensive solution for CICS environment management.

What is PIE/REXX and how is it used?

undefined

PIE/REXX provides REXX programming support within the PIE/CICS environment. It allows users to write REXX scripts to automate tasks, customize CICS operations, and integrate with other z/OS components. This facilitates scripting and automation within the CICS environment.

How is PIE/CICS different from other CICS tools?

undefined

PIE/CICS offers a suite of integrated tools, including MultiCICS for managing multiple CICS regions, which is a key differentiator. It also provides specific features for network optimization and high availability, setting it apart from tools that may focus on individual aspects of CICS management.

What are some common commands used in PIE/CICS?

undefined

Common operations include commands to start and stop CICS regions, monitor session activity, manage network connections, and execute REXX scripts. Specific commands vary depending on the component being used, such as commands within MultiCICS to manage CICS regions or commands within NetGate for network configuration.

What is the syntax for basic operations in PIE/CICS?

undefined

The syntax depends on the specific component. For example, starting a CICS region in MultiCICS might involve a command like 'START CICSREGION(region_name)'. Executing a REXX script could use a command like 'EXECUTE REXX(script_name)'. Network configuration commands in NetGate would follow its specific syntax.

What configuration files or interfaces are used?

undefined

Configuration files are used to define settings for each component. For example, MultiCICS uses configuration files to define CICS region parameters. NetGate uses configuration files for network settings. Interfaces include 3270 sessions for user interaction and potentially APIs for integration with other systems.

What types of APIs does PIE/CICS expose?

undefined

PIE/CICS may expose APIs for integration with other systems, although the specific types and methods would depend on the components. These could include APIs for session management, monitoring, and potentially for interacting with CICS applications. The exact API details would be specific to each sub-product.
