160 <strong>CICS</strong> for AIX as the <strong>Transaction</strong> <strong>Server</strong><br />

Zooming in to sector 1 of TDJ′s <strong>OLTP</strong> complex (see Figure 43 on page 161), you<br />

can see the network connections that link the end users′ desktop PCs and<br />

workstations to <strong>CICS</strong> for AIX region CICKAR1. This region serves the business<br />

needs <strong>with</strong>in the Kangaroo Leisure Group.<br />

A significant number of <strong>CICS</strong> users have access to this region through the<br />

cicsterm or cicsteld facilities provided by the <strong>CICS</strong> Client for AIX. <strong>The</strong>se<br />

cicsterm and cicsteld processes run in separate RISC System/6000 machines<br />

other than the server machine where the <strong>CICS</strong> for AIX region resides. Such an<br />

approach prevents the overloading of the server machine <strong>with</strong> these processes<br />

and enables CICKAR1 to deliver good transaction response times and<br />

throughput.<br />

All end users have to authenticate to DCE before signing on to <strong>CICS</strong> and use the<br />

CESN transaction before they can initiate other <strong>CICS</strong> transactions. This<br />

authentication helps to enforce a more secure environment.<br />

A small travel agency affiliated <strong>with</strong> Kangaroo Travel uses a SunSPARC <strong>Server</strong><br />

system <strong>with</strong> the <strong>CICS</strong> Client for Sun Systems product to access <strong>CICS</strong> for AIX<br />

region CICKAR1. Thus the agency has the same level of information that is<br />

available to Kangaroo Travel staff and at the same time can provide good<br />

service to their clients and remain competitive.<br />

A variety of PCs on local token-ring LANs connect to the RISC System/6000<br />

system running <strong>CICS</strong> for AIX region CICK AR1. <strong>The</strong> connections are made<br />

through a gateway to the SNA adapter of the RISC System/6000 system or<br />

directly to the token-ring adapter of the RISC System/6000 system. With the<br />

appropriate version of <strong>CICS</strong> Client installed on the respective platforms, the end<br />

users of these PCs access the CICKAR1 region and can execute transactions.<br />

<strong>The</strong> appropriate LD has been created in CICKAR1 to support the communication<br />

from these <strong>CICS</strong> clients.<br />

<strong>CICS</strong> for AIX region CICKAR1 is connected to <strong>CICS</strong>/ESA region CICHQ12 through<br />

<strong>CICS</strong> ISC so that a <strong>CICS</strong> transaction running in CICKAR1 can access the legacy<br />

data stored centrally in the mainframe computer.
