    2. Java application program triggered

    3. Java application program access to CICS services

    • use JDBC to access to DB2

    • use JCICS to access CICS services asynchronously, including link local/remote MRO Cobol programs and START local/remote transactions (using ExecutorService, CICSExecutorService).

    1. Cobol program call/link Java application program (using CICS link to liberty i.e. annotation), and optionally open TCP/IP socket to communicate with external

    We would like some additional information around you flows through CICS Liberty Profile. Can you provide details on the transaction flows into CICS and any further downstream services being invoked. We may also need information about which CICS services are being called within the application to determine the availability of Origin Data to enable tracing.

    If you prefer to send this information privately, please reach out via email to crwalker@us.ibm.com
