3 Real Benefits of CICS Webservices

CICS Build Toolkit for Automated Builds

The CICS build toolkit provides a command-line interface (CLI) to build your CICS projects that are created in CICS Explorer.
It is superior to the previous manual method of using a wizard to export the CICS projects to zFS because you can use a script to build projects in a reliable, repeatable manner. Using the build toolkit is one step toward a fully automated, continuous integration process.

DFHDPLOY for Batch Deployments

The DFHDPLOY utility is called by using JCL and can be easily integrated into existing deployment tools and automation procedures.
DFHDPLOY can be used with the CICS build toolkit to automate the building and deployment of CICS bundles and cloud-enabled CICS applications. It can also be used to enhance a continuous delivery environment and help the move to DevOps.
