In parallel with Unix System Laboratories Inc’s initiative and in response to IBM Corp’s transaction processing announcements, Unix International Inc is also throwing its weight behind the Tuxedo push with the publication of a guide for integrating Unix Labs’ transaction processing monitor with mainframe CICS. Prepared by London-based Data Logic Ltd – the company that is doing the design and development of CICS/6000 for IBM – Open Enterprise Transaction Processing: integrating the Tuxedo System with Mainframe CICS describes several design approaches for achieving co-existence. Data Logic is also ready to put together a guide for integrating Tuxedo with CICS/6000 effectively Transarc Corp’s Encina – if it can find backers for it.
