This presentation will show how to use ope source Zowe tooling to develop,
administer, deploy and test CICS applications. We'll show how to build
automation to drive CICS automation for compilation and deployment from a
stand-alone environment using the Zowe command line interface, as well as how to
embed scripts in a Jenkins CICD pipeline. We'll show how to use Visual Studio
Code Zowe extensions to work with JCL, REXX and TSO to drive z/OS, as well as
how to write, compile, and debug COBOL and Java CICS programs. We'll show how to
use VS Code tasks to integrate with CLI scripts. We'll show how to use the
Visual Studio Code Zowe CICS Explorer plugin to connect to CICS regions, to view
resources and perform actions like newcopy, enable/disable, and perform
development tasks without needing to use CEMT or other CICS interfaces. We'll
show how to develop CICS programs with BMS maps, CICS programs with web
services, and CICS Java programs, all using Visual Studio Code Zowe extensions.
This presentation has content for experienced CICS developers and system
programmers, as well as newcomers who want to learn how to interact with CICS
through a CLI and through Visual Studio Code. This presentation will also cover
interacting with Db2, MQ and other subsystems that make up a CICS program's
technology stack.
