Introducing Tuxedo Mainframe Adapter
for TCP (CICS)
Oracle Tuxedo Mainframe Adapter for TCP (CICS) (hereafter referenced as TMA TCP for
CICS) is a gateway connectivity feature that makes it possible for non-transactional tasks within
Oracle Tuxedo regions to access services provided by CICS application programs and vice-versa.
An Oracle Tuxedo region, or administrative domain, is a single computer or network of
computers that shares a single Oracle Tuxedo configuration.
The TMA TCP for CICS software is designed to provide transparent CICS program access from
within an Oracle Tuxedo domain and Oracle Tuxedo access from within a CICS region.
