  12. TITLE     IBM CICS CLIENTS                                                      
  13. ABSTRACT         There is great news for CICS (TM)-installed customers.  With a 
  14.           minimum of investment and new programming, you can easily extend your 
  15.           transaction processing to client/server operation -- with the new IBM 
  16.           CICS Clients.                                                         
  17.                  The IBM CICS Clients are a family of client products for       
  18.           workstations running a range of operating systems.  This CICS Clients 
  19.           family communicates by a variety of protocols and through a range of  
  20.           supported communication products directly with CICS servers on all    
  21.           platforms.  They bring the benefits of client/server operation to the 
  22.           entire CICS family of application servers.                            
  23.                  The major advantages of client/server operation include the    
  24.           following:                                                            
  25.           o   The ability to exploit productivity-enhancing workstation         
  26.               facilities, such as graphical or multimedia interfaces, with CICS 
  27.               transactions                                                      
  28.           o   The ability to exchange data directly between CICS and personal   
  29.               productivity applications being used on the desktop               
  30.                  The IBM CICS Clients offer clients for a variety of IBM and    
  31.           non-IBM platforms: OS/2 (R), DOS, Windows+, and Macintosh**.  The     
  32.           clients have communication capabilities via the APPC (LU6.2), TCP/IP, 
  33.           and NetBIOS (including NetBIOS emulation over IPX/SPX by NetWare**)   
  34.           protocols.  The clients can work with the following CICS server       
  35.           products:                                                             
  36.           o   CICS/ESA (R) Version 3 Release 3, and later                       
  37.           o   CICS/MVS (R) Version 2 Release 1.2                                
  38.           o   CICS/VSE (R) Version 2 Release 2, and later                       
  39.           o   CICS/400 (TM) Version 3 Release 1                                 
  40.           o   CICS/6000 (TM) Version 1 Release 2                                
  41.           o   CICS OS/2 (TM) Version 2.0 multi-user, and later                  
  42.                  NOTE:  All the listed servers support the ECI function, but    
  43.           not necessarily all other functions.  For details, refer to Table 1   
  44.           in the DESCRIPTION section.                                           
  45.                  The clients offer communication with the server by three       
  46.           alternative mechanisms.  The External Call Interface (ECI) enables    
  47.           the design of new applications to be optimized for client/server,     
  48.           with the business logic on the server and the presentation logic on   
  49.           the client.  The External Presentation Interface (EPI) enables new,   
  50.           modern technologies, such as graphical or multimedia interfaces, to   
  51.           be placed in front of existing 3270 CICS applications without the     
  52.           programmer having to alter the application.  The clients also provide 
  53.           terminal emulation function to run CICS 3270 transactions.

  87. OVERVIEW  DESCRIPTION                                                           
  88.                  The new CICS Clients bring to the whole CICS family the        
  89.           benefits of client/server, previously available directly only with    
  90.           CICS OS/2 Version 2.0.                                                
  91.                  The CICS Clients provide a number of functional enhancements   
  92.           and vastly expanded connectivity as compared with the distributed     
  93.           feature clients of CICS OS/2 Version 2.0.                             
  94.                  The following communications protocols are supported for       
  95.           communication with appropriate servers.  Note that servers generally  
  96.           do not support all protocols for client communication (for full

  128.           servers.  Note that not all servers support all client functions (for 
  129.           full details see Table 1 below).

  141.           o   CICS OS/2 Version 2.0 multi-user and later                        
  142.                  For the supported servers for CICS for OS/2 Version 2.0.1 and  
  143.           CICS/6000 Version 1 Release 2, refer respectively to Software         
  144.           Announcements 295-011 and 295-002, dated January 26, 1995.            
  145.                  The following functions are offered by the CICS Clients:       
  146.           o   The ECI enables a non-CICS client application to call a CICS      
  147.               program synchronously or asynchronously, as a subroutine.  The    
  148.               client application communicates with the program in the CICS      
  149.               server using a data area called a COMMAREA.  The COMMAREA is used 
  150.               to pass input parameters to the CICS server, and the server in    
  151.               return will use it to pass results back to the client for         
  152.               manipulation or display.                                          
  153.                      The ECI is the preferred interface for developing new      
  154.               client/server applications.  Its call structure easily divides    
  155.               the presentation logic (which will usually be in the client) from 
  156.               the business logic in the CICS application, offering application  
  157.               designers maximum flexibility.                                    
  158.                      At the CICS Server, ECI looks like Distributed Program     
  159.               Link (DPL) from a partner CICS system.                            
  160.           o   The EPI enables client applications to start and converse with an 
  161.               existing 3270 CICS application running on the CICS server.  The   
  162.               CICS application sends and receives 3270 datastreams to and from  
  163.               the client application as though it were conversing with a 3270   
  164.               terminal.  The client application captures these datastreams and  
  165.               usually displays them with a non-3270 presentation product, such  
  166.               as graphical user interface or multi-media software.              
  167.                      The EPI can be viewed as a method of enhancing an existing 
  168.               CICS application by adding a graphical or other modern interface  
  169.               to it.  The CICS application does not need to be altered.         
  170.           o   CICS 3270 emulation.  This enables a client workstation to        
  171.               function as a 3270 display for CICS applications, without the     
  172.               requirement for a separate 3270 emulator product, enabling        
  173.               flexible client workstation capabilities without a large or       
  174.               expensive software stack.

  180.                                                                                 
  181.                      At the CICS Server, EPI or CICS 3270 emulation looks like  
  182.               Transaction Routing request from a partner CICS system.           
  183.           o   The ability to customize the client emulator's colors and         
  184.               keyboard mappings, allowing users to tailor the machine to their  
  185.               own preferences or to meet, for example, company standard         
  186.               keyboard layouts.                                                 
  187.           o   Client printer support is provided.  This is the ability to       
  188.               define a printer terminal on the client.  This enables CICS       
  189.               applications running on the server to direct output to a          
  190.               client-attached printer.                                          
  191.                  The availability of terminal emulation, the EPI, and the ECI,  
  192.           which can be used concurrently, allows flexibility in migration and   
  193.           simultaneous use of new and old applications across the enterprise.   
  194.                  CICS Clients, with the exception of the CICS Client for DOS,   
  195.           will support an unlimited number of outstanding concurrent ECI calls  
  196.           to a CICS server, with no restrictions on communication protocols,    
  197.           functions, or whether the calls are to the same or different CICS     
  198.           systems.  In the case of the CICS Client for DOS, there is a limit of 
  199.           16 concurrent calls.  With the EPI, for all client platforms, there   
  200.           may concurrent calls.                                                 
  201.                  CICS Clients are auto-installed at most CICS server systems.   
  202.           This means that the client workstations do not have to be predefined  
  203.           at the server.  For exceptions, refer Table 1 below.                  
  204.                  For APPC communications with CICS application servers, the     
  205.           CICS Clients can be connected through an SNA gateway, for example IBM 
  206.           Communications Manager/2 configured as a gateway, or IBM AIX SNA      
  207.           Gateway/6000 Version 2.1.                                             
  208.                  The OS/2 and Windows members of the CICS Clients family        
  209.           support remote server access using IBM LAN Distance (TM).  The CICS   
  210.           -- LAN Distance interface also gives remote local IBM offices that    
  211.           are not normally connected into the central site LAN the ability to   
  212.           access CICS network resources.  The CICS application server and LAN   
  213.           Distance connection server can use the same workstation, creating a   
  214.           complete LAN/Remote network solution.

  283.           VALUE                                                                 
  284.           The availability of CICS Clients enables existing CICS users to move  
  285.           into client/server computing in an easy, cheap, simple, low-risk way. 
  286.                  CICS Clients enable the exploitation of existing low-function  
  287.           workstation hardware anywhere in an enterprise to gain access to CICS 
  288.           applications and data on all CICS platforms.                          
  289.                  CICS Clients protect customers' investment in existing CICS    
  290.           applications designed for use with 3270 devices, by providing the EPI

  297.           to enable these applications to interface unchanged with workstation  
  298.           facilities and productivity aids.                                     
  299.                  With the use of CICS Clients, CICS applications on any server  
  300.           may be optimized by locating the business logic on the server and the 
  301.           presentation logic on the client, exploiting, for example, the        
  302.           usability and productivity of modern graphical or multi-media         
  303.           interfaces using workstations.                                        
  304.                  CICS Clients enable workstations to concurrently access        
  305.           multiple enterprise applications running on different CICS servers.   
  306.                  CICS Clients provide a mechanism to enable automatic data      
  307.           exchange between desktop productivity applications, for example a     
  308.           spreadsheet and enterprise data in a CICS server.                     
  309.                  CICS Clients offer a convenient method of interfacing CICS to  
  310.           non-terminal devices, such as an image scanner or a bar-code reader,  
  311.           by the use of the ECI.                                                
  312.                  Local printers attached to desktop workstations can be used    
  313.           for printing output sent from CICS server applications.               
  314.                  Networks running Novell NetWare may be integrated with host    
  315.           transaction processing installations running CICS, by the use of      
  316.           NetWare for SAA.                                                      
  317.                  Networks running Novell NetWare may be exploited for CICS      
  318.           transaction management by CICS Clients with distributed CICS servers, 
  319.           using the NetWare NetBIOS emulation.                                  
  320.           CICS/ESA SUPPORT FOR THE CICS CLIENTS                                 
  321.           Full function support for the CICS Clients will be provided in        
  322.           CICS/ESA Version 4 during 1995.  This support provides the EPI        
  323.           function and CICS 3270 emulation.  (Note that auto-install for        
  324.           parallel LU6.2 sessions is already supported on CICS/ESA Version 4    
  325.           Release 1, and the ECI is already supported on this and lower levels  
  326.           of CICS/ESA.)                                                         
  327.           PRODUCT POSITIONING                                                   
  328.                  CICS Clients are the optimum solution for the customer wishing 
  329.           to bring transaction management to workstations.  They offer the      
  330.           integrity of the long-established CICS family; they offer the         
  331.           flexibility to employ clients on a range of popular workstation       
  332.           operating system platforms together with application servers on       
  333.           mainframe and other platforms; and they allow the customer to build   
  334.           on existing installations of CICS and the existing range of           
  335.           applications, both previously not exploited by their investments in   
  336.           workstations.                                                         
  337.                  The availability of the CICS Clients means that all the        
  338.           principal members of the CICS family become application servers for   
  339.           client/server operation with workstations.                            
  340.                  For customers using CICS on a mainframe or on AS/400 (R), who  
  341.           also have large installations of workstations employed typically for  
  342.           personal productivity, the introduction of the CICS Clients with a    
  343.           front end providing a graphical-user interface or multi-media         
  344.           interface brings the benefits of modern workstation technology to     
  345.           both their existing 3270 CICS applications and new CICS applications. 
  346.                  For mainframe CICS customers with an interest in rightsizing   
  347.           or moving to client/server operation, the use of CICS Clients         
  348.           represents a natural and easily implemented approach, leading to an   
  349.                                                                                 
  350.

  354.                                                                                 
  355.           easy migration to the new environment without the problems involved   
  356.           in moving the basic application processing from its existing          
  357.           platform.  The use of CICS Clients in this way may be employed as an  
  358.           end in itself, or it may be used as a first step towards further      
  359.           rightsizing.                                                          
  360.                  The use of a CICS workstation server product, such as CICS for 
  361.           OS/2 or CICS/6000, may be considered in a rightsizing situation where 
  362.           the workstation server is to run CICS applications, often with        
  363.           attached clients.  Where LAN-attached CICS Clients are to be used for 
  364.           access to transaction processing in a mainframe CICS application      
  365.           server, connection will typically be through a gateway server, such   
  366.           as IBM Communications Manager/2.  However, even where there are no    
  367.           short-term plans to run CICS applications on the workstation server,  
  368.           if network resources are critical the use of a CICS workstation       
  369.           server may be a cost-effective solution, functioning as a session     
  370.           concentrator to minimize the network resources required to connect    
  371.           LAN users to the mainframe.                                           
  372.                  Further scenarios for the use of CICS Clients include the      
  373.           following:                                                            
  374.           o   Workstations running personal productivity applications which     
  375.               require occasional access to enterprise CICS data                 
  376.           o   Workstations which are not LAN attached but require occasional    
  377.               remote access to a mainframe CICS                                 
  378.           o   Workstations which require mobile or wireless access to mainframe 
  379.               CICS                                                              
  380.                  Client/server installations using the CICS Clients may be      
  381.           two-tier or three-tier.  Two-tier client/server provides direct       
  382.           interaction of CICS Clients with any CICS server, and offers the      
  383.           simplest entry into client/server operation.  Three-tier              
  384.           client/server enables communication between client and server via an  
  385.           intermediate CICS server; for example, CICS Clients communicating     
  386.           with CICS/ESA by way of CICS for OS/2.  Three-tier client/server      
  387.           offers advantages of session concentration (resulting in reduced      
  388.           network traffic), stand-in processing (some operations may be         
  389.           continued in conditions where communication with the third tier       
  390.           server is lost), and the use of local business unit applications and  
  391.           data.                                                                 
  392.                  For customers running CICS with multiple users in a            
  393.           workstation LAN environment, using for example CICS for               
  394.           OS/2 Version 2.0.1 multi-user, the CICS Clients products should be    
  395.           used.  For customers who already have CICS OS/2 Version 2.0,          
  396.           distributed feature clients continue to be available to allow them to 
  397.           further extend existing client installations.  However, the use of    
  398.           CICS Clients is recommended as the preferred solution.                
  399.                  All CICS servers support open connectivity through SNA LU6.2;  
  400.           some CICS servers support DCE RPC, and it is our intention to extend  
  401.           this support together with support for ONC RPC and other connectivity 
  402.           options to more members of the CICS family.  However, CICS            
  403.           InterSystem Communication (ISC) will continue to be enhanced and to   
  404.           offer additional function and customer value beyond that provided by  
  405.           the open connectivity options.  Possible future enhancements include  
  406.           extension of transport protocol support, and support for asynchronous 
  407.

  561.           COMPATIBILITY:  ECI and EPI client applications are portable between  
  562.           members of the CICS Clients family, provided the application does not 
  563.           contain operating system specific calls.                              
  564.                  OS/2, DOS, and Windows ECI and EPI applications written for    
  565.           clients of CICS OS/2 Version 2.0 will be portable at the binary level 
  566.           to the corresponding members of the CICS Clients family.  If these    
  567.           applications are to be changed, or if they need to be ported to other 
  568.           client platforms, the ECI call will require very minor changes before 
  569.           recompiling.                                                          
  570.                  The EPI and ECI may be called by any client program capable of 
  571.           calling an external routine, in any language supported by the client  
  572.           operating system.                                                     
  573.                  This product uses existing interfaces.                         
  574.           LIMITATIONS:  A single application on the CICS Client for OS/2, CICS  
  575.           Client for Macintosh, or CICS Client for Windows will be able to have 
  576.           an unlimited number of concurrent ECI conversations with CICS         
  577.           servers.  In the case of the CICS Client for DOS, it is limited to 16 
  578.           concurrent ECI conversations.  The calls may be to the same or        
  579.           different servers, and may use different communications protocols.

  587.           themselves in the number of unique servers which may be concurrently  
  588.           accessed.  Updates across multiple servers from the same application  
  589.           are not coordinated in the same logical unit of work.                 
  590.                  When using the EPI or terminal emulation, a single client      
  591.           application will be able to have up to 15 concurrent logical          
  592.           terminals connected to CICS servers.  The terminals may be connected  
  593.           to the same or different servers, and may use different               
  594.           communications protocols.                                             
  595.           PERFORMANCE CONSIDERATIONS:                                           
  596.           o   Using the ECI, front-end presentation logic can be offloaded onto 
  597.               client applications running on client machines.  This could       
  598.               potentially consume less server resources and hence increase      
  599.               server capacity.                                                  
  600.           o   When used with relatively less powerful client hardware,          
  601.               performance of existing 3270 CICS applications using the EPI as   
  602.               the front end may be degraded when compared with the same         
  603.               application conversing with a real 3270 terminal.  This is due to 
  604.               the overhead of interpreting and extracting the 3270 data and     
  605.               displaying it in a non-3270 form.  Note that this overhead is     
  606.               completely on the client, and the performance of the server       
  607.               should be unaffected as it will be running the same existing 3270 
  608.               application.                                                      
  609.           o   When used with relatively less powerful client hardware, the      
  610.               performance of the CICS 3270 emulation may be degraded when       
  611.               compared with a real 3270 terminal for similar reasons.           
  612.           o   Client capacity is increased when compared with a 3270 terminal   
  613.               as each client will support up to 16 concurrent calls to the same 
  614.               or different CICS servers.                                        
  615.           PLANNING INFORMATION
