IBM® CICS® Deployment Assistant for z/OS® provides a centralized, complete model of your CICS infrastructure to improve data discovery. It uses a policy-driven engine that you control to accelerate deployment of new CICS capabilities and line-of-business applications. Model, visualize and deploy new and existing CICS regions more quickly and easily.

CICS Deployment Assistant for z/OS helps to simplify and automate complex tasks through:

  • Discovery of all CICS-related entities including regions, CICSplexes, connections and major subsystem dependencies including DB2, IMS and WebSphere MQ
  • A shared model providing a consistent and up-to-date view of the complete CICS topology on z/OS. The model can be exported for analysis and reporting using popular spreadsheet tools
  • Visualization of the model in graphical form gives a powerful and intuitive way to understand and navigate the CICS topology. Link in context to CICS Explorer and CICS Tools views helps you work more quickly. Tagging and filtering organize the view and reduce clutter, helping to focus on the task
  • Automated Deployment building on IBM and customer best practice. Wizards can quickly create a CICSplex and clone regions. Cheat sheets orchestrate CICS version upgrade tasks.

CICS Deployment Assistant increases operational efficiency of existing systems and improves service agility in support of new web and mobile applications.
