CICS is an application server for IBM Z that supports mixed languages. CICS provides features for scalability, reliability, and availability to support the operation of mission critical applications that process a high volume of transactions or requests. It supports Java, Java EE, COBOL and PL/I among other programming languages.
Before you start, you can check the following overview of CICS アプリケーションについて to a PC.
The following steps provide guidance on how to create mainframe projects in Enterprise Developer for your COBOL and PL/I applications that use CICS, and how to debug and test them. The assumption is that you will be adding your existing application sources to an Eclipse project.
You can also choose the COBOL 開発のパースペクティブおよびプロジェクト or PL/I パースペクティブおよびプロジェクト perspective, depending on the main programming language.
The default settings in Enterprise Developer are settings aimed at Mainframe Subsystem Application development. You can check and fine-tune settings for the editor and for setting Compiler directives from Window > Preferences > Micro Focus.
For example, you can specify a CICS and SQL preprocessor settings, a character set and for COBOL, the mainframe dialect.
Further, to get familiar with the process of developing CICS applications in Enterprise Developer, Micro Focus recommends that you go through the following tutorials and samples:
