Concepts
These topics explain the concepts behind the CICS® Explorer.
- The IBM CICS Explorer
The CICS Explorer is a system management tool that is designed
to provide a simple, easy to use way of managing one or more CICS
systems. Based on an Eclipse platform, it provides a view of some
of the CPSM functions in a CICS Transaction Server and a platform
for the integration of future CICS tools.
- Introduction to Eclipse
Eclipse is a platform for building and deploying client
applications in which the majority of data manipulation is done by
the client application rather than the server. This platform is known
as a Rich Client Platform (RCP). The platform provides the ability
to deploy native graphical user interface (GUI) applications to a
variety of desktop operating systems, and present the user with a
simple, consistent view.
