What is CICS?

(Customer Information Control System)


IBM definition: CICS is a DB/DC control system. A Data Base/Data Communication (DB/DC) control system

Terminals File System

OPERATING SYSTEM Batch Job1 CICS REGION PGM1 PGM2 Batch Job2 Batch Job3 PGM3

Batch
Jobs are submitted for execution by the processor at later time Absence of any interaction from user Program starts, processes all records and ends Performance measure is throughput When program ABENDS it just ends the program

On-line
Jobs submitted are executed immediately User interaction is an usual thing Program starts, process a record and ends Performance measure is response time When CICS program ABENDS it may bring down the entire system

Batch Processing
Input given through sysin or files Time taken for processing (number of days) Resource utilization is less Threads : Single thread Entrance : no reentrant Output : sysout , file or printer Example : Bill processing , payroll processing ,inventory

Online processing
Terminals Seconds More resource utilization Multiple threads It allows quasy reentrance Terminals or local printers ATM,ticket reservation system

Some Basic Terminologies


Task: Task is a unit of work specific to a user Transaction: A CICS program cannot be directly invoked and is done through a transaction Difference between transaction and task is, although several users can invoke a transaction, each user initiates his own task Application: Is a collection of programs that accomplish some specific task for the end user

CICS Control Programs


TCP (Terminal Control Program) KCP (Task Control Program) PCP (Program Control Program) FCP (File Control Program) SCP (Storage Control Program) Other programs: TSP (Temporary Storage Program) SIP (System Initialization Program)

CICS Control Tables

File Control Program


Manages the file processing activities of each application program. Command level CICS COBOL program does all file processing through CICS file control request.Facilities like OPEN,CLOSE READ, WRITE is not allowed FCT includes the entry for eacj file that is to be used during the operation of CICS.

CICS Concepts
Macro level Command level Multitasking Multithreading Quasi reentrancy

Multiprogramming
Multiprogramming means that the operating system allows several programs to execute at the same time. Only one program can have the control of the CPU.

Multitasking
Multitasking is similar to mutiprogramming Mutitasking means that a program running in a single partition or region allows multiple tasks to execute simultaneously.

Example
User 1 Order entry User 2 Customer enquiry User 3 Order enter User 4 Inventory Inquiry User 5 Customer file maintenance User 6 Order entry

User 1 , user 3 and user 6 are accessing the same application : order entry This would waste valuable storage space if the same program were loaded into storage Multithreading is used so that only one copy of the program is loaded in to the storage.

Quasi re-entrant
For Multithreading to work a program must be re-entrant.

Conversational programming
Operations 1. Display list screen. 2. Wait for user input. 3. Receive list screen. 4. Read employee records from the employee file. 5. Display records in formatted form. 6. Wait for the user input. 7. Receive the screen. 8. Depending on the function key populate new list. 9. Redisplay the list.

Pseudo-conversational programming
Tasks First Second Operations 1. Display list screen. 3. Receive list screen.

4. Read employee records from the employee file.

5. Display the records in formatted form.


Third 7. Receive the screen.

8. Depending on the function key populate new list. 9. Redisplay the list.

Pseudo Conversation
Conversation
Sending a message to the terminal and receiving a response from the user is called as one conversation.
Ex.: Display a menu on the screen and receive an option from the user.

Modes of Conversation
Conversational Mode Pseudo-Conversational Mode Non-Conversational Mode

Advantages of Pseudo Conversation


Resources are best utilized (The Resources are released as soon as the program is suspended temporarily) Looks as if it is in conversational mode Better response time

CICS programming
Divisions and Sections not used in CICS 1. Environment Division 2. Input Output Section 3. I-O control 4. File section Statements: 1. Open 2. Close

Statements in CICS
EXEC CICS SEND FROM(Data-Name) ERASE END-EXEC. EXEC CICS RECEIVE into(Data-Name) LENGTH(LENGTH OF Data-Name) END-EXEC. EXEC CICS RETURN END-EXEC.
