Jake > Cross Posting to both Newsgroup.
I assume you mean "newsgroups" and I have noticed that the two newsgroups to which you refer are IBM-MAIN and CICS-L. There are many more potential candidates for "newsgroups" including IBMTCP-L which is where this query might also have been posted: For IBMTCP-L subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBMTCP-L > We have got a requirement of performing CICS screen scrapping using > Biztalk(HIS). Talking of "newsgroups" and the like, if you are involved with BizTalk/HIS I hope you are familiar with the relevant Microsoft forum: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sv-se/biztalkhis/threads > ... if yes I am particularly interested to know from Z/OS perspective if IBM > EE(extender Enterprise) and OSA card is required. See my response to Timothy Sipples. In order to align yourself with current and future flavours of HIS, the answer is that Enterprise Extender - not Extender Enterprise please! - will be required - with the additional requirement that your VTAM is enabled for APPN - just in case you have multiple VTAMs using "subarea" interconnection. > I am not a network guru ... Perhaps your local z/OS Communications Server (CS) "gurus" should be pursuing this matter rather than your good self! > ... but can anyone suggest me which OSA would help for this integration ... The answer is "probably". If your question is really "... but if would someone kindly suggest to me ... I would be most grateful ..." - or something along those lines, the answer is any currently available OSA feature suitably configured to support CHPID type OSD.[1] > ... and how to identify the currently running OSA card in our system. Your local CS "gurus" will have the answer to this rather unclearly posed question. An OSA feature actually supporting SNA or IP communication will be identified in active VTAMLST members or the active CS IP PROFILE data set respectively. > Could someone share the whitepaper for HIS-CICS integration. If you know about a "whitepaper for HIS-CICS integration", as is implied by your question, perhaps you should search for the URL - and inform us all what it is when you have found it. Note that again, if someone knows about this "whitepaper", they would be entitled simply to reply "Yes", since it is within their capability. If you actually wanted someone to post an URL for it, you should adopt a form of words similar to that I indicated above. - [1] OSD is preferred since the alternative OSE is essentially for migration from the popular pre-OSA device, the 3172 while OSD offers considerable performance and usability enhancements and promises more in the future. - Chris Mason On Thu, 6 Dec 2012 09:49:00 +0530, Jake anderson <[email protected]> wrote: >Hello Group, > >Cross Posting to both Newsgroup. > >We have got a requirement of performing CICS screen scrapping using >Biztalk(HIS).
