Enterprise organizations are responding to both business pressures and
opportunities through digital transformation & modernization initiatives. These
industry shifts require agile interaction with core systems of record which are
typically processed by Transaction Managers such as CICS. As clients adopt more
open and modular architectures, effective transformation is often underpinned by
how well mission critical core systems of record interact with hybrid cloud
deployments. In addition, increased volume of inquiry traffic resulting from
digital transformation & modernisation initiatives can cause unpredictability
for core systems to process critical transactions running on the system. An
optimised Command Query Responsibility Separation (CQRS) is required for
enterprise to handle such situations. IBM Z Digital Integration Hub (zDIH) is a
new product offering that addresses these needs and delivers overall
optimization through: (1) efficient, low-latency mechanisms for integrating core
system of record (2) flexible, low-code/ no code zDIH Developer Kit to
auto-generate integration applications and (3) a standards based approach for
java based in-memory caches supporting all standard interfaces such as REST, SQL
and event-driven architectures such as Kafka. In this session, we will talk
about IBM zDIH capabilities as well as how CICS applications can be integrated
with IBM zDIH using CICS Event Processing custom adapter for sharing realtime
information with hybrid cloud deployments, without making any changes to the
existing CICS applications. We will also show a live demo of how the integration
of CICS application and IBM zDIH leveraging the CICS EP custom adapter can
provide realtime information for hybrid cloud applications to consume through
REST, SQL interfaces and streaming the zDIH cache information in realtime to
Kafka, MongoDB or JDBC compliant databases.
