The CICS® Transaction Server for z/OS® Feature Pack for Dynamic Scripting V2.0 provides a dynamic scripting CICS based runtime for PHP applications. You can use the CICS TS Feature Pack for Dynamic Scripting to create and run applications that meet your specific needs or the needs of your clients.
The feature pack is provided as a Liberty OSGi bundle that encapsulates the PHP engine, which is used to interpret PHP code, and a PHP servlet, for handling PHP file access.
The CICS TS Feature Pack for Dynamic Scripting V2.0 consists of two components: The z/OS component, which is installed in your host system by using SMP/E, and the CICS Explorer® SDK, which includes the PHP target platform definition and the PHP example wizard. Before you can develop and deploy dynamic scripting applications, you must set up the PHP target platform in CICS Explorer SDK. From CICS Explorer SDK, you can also use the PHP example wizard to install and deploy the example application, so that you can verify that the installation is successful.
