IBM TXSeries for Multiplatforms is a distributed CICS (Customer Information Control System) online transaction processing (OLTP) environment for mixed language applications.
TXSeries was introduced by IBM's Transarc subsidiary in 1997 and bundled CICS version 2.1.2 with Encina, MQSeries middleware, Lotus Domino Go web server, and other software.
TXSeries is a transaction server available on AIX, Linux x86, Windows Server. It shares similar design principles and some functions with CICS on mainframe. End of 2006 saw a major release of TXSeries V6.1, with DCE and Encina components removed. This brought huge simplification to the product. There is also a new graphical web-based administration console.
TXSeries for Multiplatforms V9.1 extends the capabilities for TXSeries for Multiplatforms V8.2 and 8.1 and folds in the benefit from earlier releases along with the new capabilities listed above.
• First class integration with a Java EE environment, such as WebSphere Application Server, to allow the extension of application assets in Java while retaining proven CICS assets • Ability to integrate easily into a mixed-language, hybrid cloud solution with support for RESTful APIs • Cost-effective distributed transaction processing offering for traditional language workload. • TXSeries can be scaled up to CICS TS on the mainframe, if the needs of the business grow. • Integrates data and applications in distributed solutions and enterprise systems, such as IBM CICS, IBM IMS™, IBM DB2®, IBM MQ. • Extends CICS applications to the web using CICS TG and WebSphere Application Server. • Extends traditional language applications to mobile using IBM MobileFirst platform (formerly IBM Worklight) and CICS TG • Allows applications to be hosted in a traditional datacenter, as well as hosted in cloud.
