Configuration samples

This section describe some example configurations in different scenarios, where XCICS/TS or IBM CICS may act as TOR (Terminal Oriented Region) and/or AOR (Application Oriented Region).

IBM CICS TOR to XCICS AOR

This example describes the case of an IBM CICS region acting as TOR, routing transaction to an XCICS/TS region acting as AOR. In this scenario users will connect to the IBM CICS region (TOR), while the transactions will be remotely executed on the XCICS/TS region (AOR).

CICS definitions:

DEFINE TRANSACTION(RSUN) GR(XCICS001) REMOTESYSTEM(SUN1)

XCICS definitions:
