According to your users’ requirements, decide what functions the CSA will perform. For example, your CSA can:
Transfer data between two sources through Mainframe Client Connect. A CSA running on MVS/CICS can transfer data between Adaptive Server Enterprise and any DirectConnect target database, or between any two DirectConnect target databases.
Access DB2 data, statically or dynamically.
Access other relational data sources (for example, ADABAS), statically or dynamically.
Access nonrelational data (for example, VSAM and IMS).
Invoke other CICS programs.
Schedule other CICS tasks for execution.
