Title : Make access to CICS/VSE/TS
data available
(Short description of what you want the
product changed to - include keywords like function, short product name)
Statement of
the Problem : (What? Detailed description of what you want
changed, 400 char.limit)
The new and existing
eBusiness Connectors (CICS Transaction Gateway/Universal Client, DB/2
Connectors and new VSE eBusiness Connectors) do not provide direct access to
CICS owned (VSAM) files.
Benefit : (Why? Non-technical business
case description, i.e a business case. Do not reword problem statement
above. How do you to justify the needed
change? Wwill itrequest
benefit the submitter’s your company, and the vendor
and others? Business case
and benefits to users and vendor which can to
justify the needed change?. Quantify: run time, dollars, manpower, etc. Also, wWhy
should is it important
for vendor to want to do this for their
customer?s)
Most VSE/ESA environments house a great deal of
their business critical data within VSAM files which are controlled by
CICS. By providing access to the data
files within CICS, the three-tier web serving model would be greatly
enhanced. Web server based applications
(running on the middle tier) would have direct access to this CICS data,
without the need to develop addition host applications.
Date : (When? ASAP, 6 months, one year from now, etc)
ASAP
Impact : (How? How will your company’s business be
affected if a solution is not
delivered.)
Because the current eBusiness connector model
available on VSE/ESA does not provide this feature, development of new web
based solutions can be both time consuming and costly.
Solution : (optional desired / undesired elements Note: suggest can limit vendor ability to deliver a solution)
Update either the CICS Transaction
Gateway/Universal Client or the new eBusiness VSAM connector to provide access
to CICS controlled VSAM files.
Classification : (Suggestion=Nice Idea, Long
Range=Future, Tactical=ASAP, or Acceptability=I won’t buy the product
or will drop the product if solution not provided)
ASAP
