Stream: CICS
Time: 10:15 - 11:15
This presentation will show how to use open source Zowe tooling to develop, administer, deploy and test CICS applications. We'll show how to:
• build automation to drive CICS automation for compilation and deployment from a stand-alone environment using the Zowe command line interface, and embed scripts in a Jenkins CICD pipeline
• Use Visual Studio Code Zowe extensions to work with JCL, REXX and TSO to drive z/OS, write, compile, and debug COBOL and Java CICS programs.
• Use VS Code tasks to integrate with CLI scripts.
• Use the Visual Studio Code Zowe CICS Explorer plugin to connect to CICS regions, to view resources and perform actions like newcopy, enable/disable, and perform development tasks without needing to use CEMT or other CICS interfaces.
• Develop CICS programs with BMS maps, CICS programs with web services, and CICS Java programs, all using Visual Studio Code Zowe extensions.
• interact with Db2, MQ and other subsystems that make up a CICS program's technology stack.
This presentation has content for experienced CICS developers and system programmers, as well as newcomers who want to learn how to interact with CICS through a CLI and through Visual Studio Code.
