Can we pseudo-talk?" gave a rather iconoclastic view that conversational transactions MAY have advantages over pseudo-conversational in some instances. Turns out Jim is not only not alone, he's rather late to the game. Read up on the webification of legacy apps and how it may make conversational programming far less onerous, even preferable. >> CLICK for the full tip: http://www.search390.com/tip/1,289483,sid10_gci869297,00.html Love this tip?

CAN WE PSEUDO-TALK? | by Jim Keohane What do you do when you find that normally efficient CICS 3270 applications written in a pseudo-conversational style, once Web-enabled, start consuming mass quantities of CPU cycles? This tip offers a solution. >> CLICK for full tip: http://www.search390.com/tip/1,289483,sid10_gci863905,00.html =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= WHAT IS TCIOWAIT? | by Robert Harris Dear Ask the Expert, What exactly is TCIOWAIT? We have an MNCONV=YES set and a transaction that is conversational. We get separate 110's for each of the terminal interactions. Unfortunately, Tivoli PR appears to aggregate the interactions into a single transaction with a single response time, which can be many minutes...even hours. There is an SLA on this and we are not achieving our goal. Can I accurately exclude TCIOWAIT from the overall response time as 'user think time'? >> CLICK for Robert's expert response: http://search390.techtarget.com/ateQuestionNResponse/0,289625,sid10_cid502165_tax289214,00.html =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= NEED HELP WRITING A CICS SOCKETS LISTENER? | by Robert Harris Dear Ask the Expert, I am trying to write a CICS Sockets listener that will also receive records and send an acknowledgement.
