I know that CICS supplied transactions can be invoked by typing the URL from the browser using CICS Web Support.
Now I want to implement the same for my simple transaction.

For example:
I have a Login screen which is created by using BMS called MAP1. It contains the fields for entering user name and password. This MAP1 will be dispalyed if I trigger the transaction called TXN1. It does nothing other than displaying the map(no business logic involved here as this is just an example). It will simply throws the map.

Now I want to know, what are all the things I need to check and implement in order to invoke this TXN1 transaction by typing the URL from the browser such that it will display the MAP1 in the browser.


Thanks in advance.

read the manuals. BMS Maps can only be displayed on 3270's or thru emulators. Browsers on the PC can not interpret/display a BMS map. Besides, you have no way to route the map to your pc browser.

you are lacking a 'lot' of information about communications. And a simple forum discussion will not correct the problem. you need to read some manuals/books about this subject.

Hi,

These are my thoughts....Some one correct me, if I am wrong.

I think you can browse the screens thru Internet explorer. But it requires you to have the CICS Job to have the DD Name DFHHTML defined. Also I think you need to know the IP Address of the CICS region to connect from the browser.

IBM HATS (Host Access Transformation Solution, I think) can display CICS maps in web browser. You can search about this HATS in IBM website (www.ibm.com) for more information.

I stand corrected. not the first time I was wrong.

you only need to have your shop invest a little (a lot?) of money in cics addons for you to see your bms maps in explorer.
