IBM CICS Performance Series: CICS, DB2, and Thread Safety
This paper highlights the findings of a study about the factors that affect the performance of IBM CICS® transactions that access IBM DB2® resources through the CICS DB2 attachment facility. This is one piece of a series focused on CICS performance written by members of the IBM Hursley CICS development community, based on feedback from CICS customers.
This white paper can act as a guide for application designers and developers in developing CICS applications that perform optimally within the CICS environment. It can also teach CICS systems programmers and administrators how to configure regions to optimize access to DB2 subsystems.
