Providing a common framework
In CICS Transaction Server, Version 3.1,
the IBM CICS Transaction Server
information center is released as a
plug-in, powered by Eclipse
technology. This common framework
is now the infrastructure of choice
adopted by many IBM products,
offering a common look and feel,
together with consistency of behavior
and a new search engine. It also allows
you to customize your own CICS
Transaction Server information center,
using plug-ins from multiple products.
The new CICS Transaction Server
information center enables direct
links from CICS information to support
information. New functions include:
• A What’s New page, organized
by major functional area, that is
available through the navigation and
welcome page. This is similar to the
long-established Release Guide, but
instead of being a separate document,
the What’s New page integrates
with the CICS Transaction Server
information center.
• Learning paths, a sequence of topics
that helps a user learn about a new
area of the product, are provided for
Web services and the CICSPlex System
Manager WUI.
• Information roadmaps, or topics that
provide a set of comprehensive links,
role- or function-based, to information
from a variety of sources, are provided
for Web services, Java in CICS and
CICSPlex System Manager.
• An online support plug-in is a
self-help resource that consists of
components for searching external
knowledge bases, getting fixes and if
necessary, contacting IBM support.
