The XCICS Transaction Server supports on one hand the production environment of transactions based on CICS/COBOL, CICS/C and CICS/PLI applications under UNIX, which run without any source-code modification. On the other hand it offers an excellent development environment for new applications which can run either on UNIX systems or on mainframes.

Furthermore the product is suitable as a dedicated programming environment for further development and maintenance of existing applications. This reduces the workload for such tasks on mainframes considerably.
