I created some articles to show how to install RD/z (Rational Developer for system z), create a sample Java project and deploy it on CICS. Check it out at RD/z Overview.

One of the first changes for 2009 I decided to introduce - is Google Adsense. Whilst I hoped to keep the site commercial free - I recognize that it costs time and money to keep it going. Hence my decision to introduce some form of advertisement. I will strive to keep the commercial aspect as unobtrusive as possible.

Well it has been a while since I actively maintained the Wiki. I will attempt to add some new material in this year. It can be so much better if we all do this together. Go ahead you can write an article - share your experience!

Admin 04:51, 23 January 2009 (CST)

Craig Schneiderwent added an article on SOAP. Check it out!

Admin 08:51, 27 May 2008 (CDT)

New articles:

  1. How to optimize web service invocations when the requester and provider programs are in the same region: How do I optimize Web service invocations when the requester and provider programs are both in CICS?
  2. Using the dynamic program library: Dynamic_DFHRPL

Breaking a long drought on the Wiki I added the following articles:

The Dignus page is also the target of our vendor spotlight.

  • We broke through the 100 member barrier! Check it out at Team
  • Changed vendor spotlight to point to GT Software

How do I explain CICS to non-mainframe people?

Admin 15:12, 14 January 2008 (CST)

  • Announcing the "Old website adoption plan". We will save your old efforts and migrate it to the CICS Wiki. Follow this link (Adoption plan) for more details.

Admin 14:00, 11 January 2008 (CST)

  • Today I added an article to answer the question: How do I do session management in CICS?.
  • Added the CICS Info Center (3.2) to the sidebar.
  • Changed the Main page to have a "Featured pages" section.

Admin 13:14, 8 January 2008 (CST)

  • Added the "Cite" extension so that references can be added to an article. The extension is described at Cite. A good example is how Roland used it in the CORBA tuning article.

Admin 07:21, 27 November 2007 (CST)

  • Added the How do I... page to help people create content.

Admin 15:58, 15 November 2007 (CST)

  • The side bar to the left of the Main Page was reorganized. A change to take note of is the addition of a "create content" section because many new users wonder how they can create articles.
  • I added a section to the Boot Camp called How to create an article. This should be helpful for new users.

Admin 14:32, 6 November 2007 (CST)

  • Several good updates by Roland last week. Check it out in Recent changes.
  • I had at least one successful registration through the new process but also one failure. Please try it out and let me know if it works.
  • I updated the Boot Camp section with an article on Editing guidelines.
  • I am looking for the CICS Wiki team to be more active - please create some articles.

Admin 15:28, 5 November 2007 (CST)

  • Well in an ongoing attempt to make registration easier - I have now started to use the "Confirm Account" extension. That means that anybody can request an account directly on the CICS Wiki without having to email the Admin user. It also provides for better privacy because I never see your password - the Wiki mails it out and then you have to change it at first sign on attempt. Lets see how this works - I believe it is a step forward.

Admin 12:33, 26 October 2007 (CDT)

  • I have had a lot of people that seem confused about the fact that they need the Admin user to create an id for them. This was done to prevent bots from registering. I recently implemented a simple extension that should prevent bots from registering. So for now registering to the CICS Wiki has been opened up. If this fails to prevent bots we might have to close it up again.

Admin 12:33, 26 October 2007 (CDT)

  • I have simplified the ribbon of approval award token. If you want to award somebody's work - include this template in the article: {{CICS_Wiki:Award}}.
  • Earl gets this week's award for a great home page and for creating the Vendor Category.
  • Earl also added a good example of how a vendor page could look. Check it out at BatchCICS-Connect_-_24x7_Integration.
  • I added a few more extensions - the News feed being one and IncludeArticle is another. For information on IncludeArticle go to IncludeArticle
