Overview

The IBM CICS® Explorer provides an Eclipse based infrastructure to view and manage CICS resources and enables greater integration between CICS tools.

The CICS Explorer provides an integrated view of a number of existing CICS tools, including CICS Interdependency Analyzer, CICSPlex SM, CICS Performance Analyzer, and CICS Configuration Manager.

The CICS Explorer uses the existing function of the tools, but you can decide how to display this information in the Eclipse workbench, providing a common representation across the tools. The commonality also applies to the way that tasks are performed.
