Abstract
The invention a customer information control system (CICS) application programming interface (API), with global and local system and file control functions, in a loosely coupled data processing system environment. In accordance with the purpose of the invention, as embodied and broadly described herein, the invention is directed to a method, system and computer readable medium for the local system and files control (hereafter collectively referred to as the "invention"). In particular, the invention includes implementing a loosely coupled CICS region in a data processing environment, the loosely coupled CICS region includes at least two of a plurality of machines and their respective address spaces. The invention further includes allocating a flat segment in the address space of the at least two machines. The invention additionally includes providing a keeper in the address space of each of the at least two machines, one of the keepers being designated as a master keeper. Furthermore, the invention includes providing more than one CICS-API operating system server (COSS) within the loosely coupled CICS region, each COSS residing in one of the at least two address spaces within the l…
