Mainframes continue to serve as the foundation of enterprise computing, powering critical applications across industries. However, understanding transaction flows and the interfaces and protocols in play can be a daunting task.

In this introductory session, we will unravel the complexity of mainframe application architectures, guiding attendees through typical transaction flows and the extensive web of communication pathways within z/OS environments. From subsystems like CICS and IMS to gateways and APIs, we will uncover how these components interact to execute transactions with speed, reliability, and scalability. You will gain insights into how the data flows through message queues, adapters, bridges, networks, tasks, attachment facilities and databases, and learn the foundational communication methods that tie these components together.

Whether you are an architect, developer, or IT leader, this session will equip you with essential insights into mainframe connectivity and transaction processing. Join us to dive into the inner mechanics of mainframe computing and strengthen your foundational knowledge of the mainframe as a mission-critical platform.
