Modernise Access To Mainframe Applications

uLinga for CICS and uLinga for IMS can modernise your access to the mainframe by replacing SNA with native TCP/IP, without requiring application changes.

uLinga for CICS

uLinga for CICS provides access to CICS applications using native TCP/IP built into CICS. Available for HPE Nonstop, Windows, Linux and POSIX systems.

What Makes It Special

Connectivity

Modernise your connectivity to CICS using TCP/IP while preserving your application code

Reduced Cost

Seamlessly migrate your applications, and reduce operator costs, and eliminating the need for costly SNA infrastructure

Security

Stengthen security by utilising industry-standard IPSec or SSL/TLS, ultimately minimising integration risk and effort

01

With the right software
great things can happen.

uLinga for CICS implements the TCP/IP-based IP Interconnectivity protocol supported natively by CICS v3.2 and later. Enables you to seamlessly migrate your SNA applications communicating with CICS to TCP/IP, without jeopardizing the integrity of the mission-critical applications that rely on SNA today.

02

How it works

uLinga for CICS appears as another CICS region – enabling normal cross-region communications for Distributed Program Link (DPL), and Transaction Routing (TR). uLinga for CICS can operate as both client and server end of communications, so your transactions can be initiated from either side of the communications link.
