Mission Hills, CA, June 11, 2020 – UNICOM® Global has today announced day one support for IBM CICS Transaction Server (TS) V5.6, which is due for release on Friday, June 12.

CICS TS V5.6 introduces a range of new capabilities to improve the developer experience, including a wider choice of APIs, frameworks, editors and build tools. IBM has also added new features to improve security, resilience and management. Larry Lawler, UNICOM Global CTO, said, “As long-standing partners we always collaborate with IBM on new software releases to ensure that our products work together seamlessly from day one. Customers use our solutions to ensure the smooth running of their mission-critical mainframe systems, modernize their applications and reduce deployment timescales for new developments. We are excited by the latest enhancements to the CICS TS user experience, including support for Node.js version 12, a modern scripting language for the new generation of CICS users, and support for the recently announced z/OS Workload Interaction Correlator, which assists performance analysis in today’s high utilization shared mainframe environments. Now our customers can start benefiting from new features such as these, which will complement our mainframe solutions and support enterprises through the modernization process.”
