WebSphere MQ and CICS

 

This chapter discusses how WebSphere MQ works with CICS. The CICS adapter allows you to connect your queue manager to CICS, and enables CICS applications to use the MQI.

The optional additional WebSphere MQ CICS bridge enables applications to run a CICS program or transaction that does not use the MQI. This means that we can use your legacy applications with WebSphere MQ, without the need to rewrite them.

These topics are described in the following sections:

• The CICS adapter

• The CICS bridge
