CICS TS 6.2 has just been announced and this session summarises all the new features directly from the CICS team. Developers will be able to use new versions of Java, Jakarta, Spring Boot, and Node.js to modernize and extend applications. CICS administrators will be able to further optimise applications with threadsafe access to shared data tables, reduced volumes of data written to SMF, automate more with CICS policies and Ansible, and use the power of the IBM Z platform to further improve the systems’ resilience and scalability. CICS and security administrators have new features, tools and workflows to tighten security for valuable transactions and data that is best practice and a requirement when adopting a Zero Trust strategy.

CICS TS 6 introduces Security Discovery, a tooling with a purpose of building a picture of the users and security being used within your current environments. In this presentation we will show how Resource Security is integral to a Zero Trust security strategy within enterprise security and why Security Discovery is a necessity to getting your CICS environments conforming with it.

The Customer in Production team's goal is to act as first customers of CICS. We test CICS at a level higher than system testing by developing a fully-featured banking application modelled on the results of our customer research and advocacy. We set ourselves the goal of remaining up to date with modern software development practices in order to anticipate ways in which customers of IBM will interact with and drive CICS. |

In CiP we test CICS by developing an application modelled on those created by our customers. We aim to demonstrate best practices for application development, and as a result have been creating a CI/CD pipeline for automating the delivery of our CICS application. This talk will take you through our journey to adopting Ansible with the z/OS CICS collections. We will demonstrate the full CI/CD Tekton pipeline and show how to use Ansible to deploy a test environment to a CICS region from automation.

Always wanted to build automated tests but not know where to start, In this session we will start with just a laptop and by the end of the session will have built a set of automated tests for z/OS using just open source tooling that you can access today. All the source code and configuration that is created for the session will be shared so you can use this as a starting point and start building your own tests!
