Enclosed is the Mainframe Connect™ Server Option for CICS 15.0, which is a programming environment that enables you to develop mainframe applications that Open Client™ applications can execute. Mainframe-based Server Option applications can retrieve and update data stored on an IBM mainframe in any mainframe resource, such as VSAM files, TD queues, TS queues, and DL/1 databases, as well as in DB2 databases and other database management systems (DBMSs).
The Server Option for CICS runs on an IBM z/Series or plug-compatible mainframe computer. It uses the LU 6.2 or TCP/IP communications protocol and a CICS host transaction processor.
