Abstract

A customer information control system (CICS) application programming interface (API), with transient data queue functions, in a loosely coupled data processing 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 including program instructions (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 including at least two of a plurality of address spaces each of which being associated with a machine. The invention further includes providing at least one CICS-API operating system server (COSS) within the loosely coupled CICS region, each COSS operating in one of the at least two address spaces within the loosely coupled CICS region. The invention additionally includes providing an information resource within the loosely coupled CICS region, the information resource including a file for holding a transient data queue. Furthermore, the invention includes providing a suite of functions including the transi…
