You can use the Create Application Entry
Point wizard in the “CUSTOMER INFORMATION CONTROL SYSTEM” (CICS) Explorer to develop
an application entry point. An applications entry points can apply to whole
application & a specific application operations. Each application’s entry
point is declared on a resource or names of an operation. You can define the application
entry points only on a sub set of CICS resources.
CICS
Customer Information Control System (CICS)
is a transaction’s server that executes the primarily on IBM mainframe system
under z/OS or z/VSE. CICS is middleware designed to support rapid, high volume
online transactions processing.
The resources for the application entry
point do not have to be defined in the same CICS truss project as the applications
entry point. CICS adds the application operation to the specified resource when
the application set up is installed.
When an action that does not have an
applications context call of resources that has an application entry point, CICS
creates application contexts that becomes linked with the task, & with any
sub-sequent programs that it calls or tasks that it initiates. The applications
context identifies the platform, application, application’s version, or the
operation. You can use the application context information for the following
purposes:
Ø Monitoring or measuring, how much resource an application and a specific
application operation are using across CICS regions or multiple tasks.
Ø Applying policy to the tasks that are a part of an application, to
define antechamber conditions to control the behavior of the task.
Ø Using the information’s with the transactions tracking CICS Explorer
to speedily identify or diagnose application related to the problems.
