Using IBM UrbanCode Deploy to
deliver your apps to CICS

Introduction
Delivery of today's multi-platform applications is complex;
applications have lots of moving parts that need to work
together.
Frequently, separate deployment tooling exists across
development teams within an organisation, including the
historical use of home-grown tools. These technologies
continue to work but are highly structured and contain rigid
processes that do not allow for flexible changes to the
environment, and do not support multi-platform deployments.
Additionally, customers are looking for better ways to manage
and automate individual component deployments and
incremental changes to applications, while reducing risk.

Problem
1. Need to add a telephone country code i.e. 44
for UK
2. Need to update CICS COBOL application
including 3270 interface and web service, JEE
application and mobile app
3. Need to test end-to-end solution

Summary
• Seen some of the IBM UrbanCode Deploy V6.1.1 multi-
platform deployment capabilities, including deployment to
the z Systems (z/OS) environment.
• Utilised some of the latest IBM UrbanCode Deploy V6.1.1
plug-ins:
• CICS TS
• DB2 for z/OS
• Application Deployment for WebSphere Application Server
• z/OS Utilities: Submit Job, Run TSO or ISPF Command
• Deployed a CICS TS 5.2 application, a Java Enterprise
Edition (JEE) application to WebSphere Application Server
for z/OS and, additionally, IBM mobile app components ....
.... in one deployment operation
