These topics explain the concepts behind the CICS® event binding editor.
What is event processing?
An event is anything that happens that is significant to a system. Event processing is the capture, enrichment,
formatting and emission of events, the subsequent routing and any further processing of emitted events (sometimes in
combination with other events), and the consumption of the processed events.
Event processing architecture
An event processing architecture is based on interactions between three components: an event source, an event
processor, and an event consumer. A CICS application is an event source. CICS can perform some simple processing on an event
before emitting it.
How CICS supports event processing
CICS supports the production of events from
new and existing applications for emission to a variety of event consumers.
CICS event binding editor tabs
The event binding file is an XML file that defines a set
of event specifications to CICS.
Each event binding file can be separately deployed. The event binding
consists of several parts, each edited in a separate tab in the editor.
Schema versions
Schema versions are used to provide the greatest compatibility
with your systems.
