This session highlights all the new features in CICS TS 6.2 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.

Testing COBOL applications in CICS environments often requires specialized approaches to ensure system reliability and performance. This session will focus on practical techniques for creating and executing effective test strategies for COBOL applications that interact with CICS. Topics will include automated testing for transaction processing, managing dependencies in test environments, and balancing traditional and modern testing methods. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of how to approach testing challenges specific to CICS and tools that can support these efforts.

For many years transaction security has been the main way of securing applications. In many cases users have been granted individual access to transactions, or are members of groups that are no longer required for their role. This session will present an end to end description of the workflow of CICS Security Discovery which is designed to solve that problem and help you identify the roles, command and resource definitions in your production regions. There will be a demo of the Security Discovery Explorer Editor which analyses your existing security definitions, and production usage to identify roles, the users in these roles and their access to applications and resources.

IBM CICS continues to be a cornerstone for many organisations, continually modernising with the latest and most secure development and test capabilities. Surely, CICS needs a robust testing framework to maintain its' integrity and efficiency. This is a difficult challenge, because there are thousands of tests to think about - from security, to modern languages, modern source code management, and the use of CI/CD pipelines. How difficult can it be to continue to transform the way that CICS is developed and tested? Well, this session delves into the innovative use of Galasa, an open-source test integration framework, to enhance how CICS test their complex applications. |

In today's world resiliency for Mainframe CICS Applications is crucial and achieving zero downtime is the goal to delivering the highest level of service to customers. This session will explore the importance of implementing a High Availability (HA) architecture model within CICS. We will examine how an HA model minimizes downtime, enhances system resiliency, and introduces the use of CICSPlex SM as a tool to improve your resiliency. Using the Web User Interface (WUI) and the CICS Explorer we will cover the various options for CICS Dynamic Transaction Routing a feature within CICSPlex SM that allows you to route workload away from regions experiencing problems in the HA environment.
