As Henry Ford once said, “Before everything else, getting ready is the secret to success.” So whether
you're concerned with security updates, connectivity, performance gains or other mainframe topics, you’ll find some
interesting articles in this issue of CCR2™ that are must-reads before taking another step.
For example,
learn about good bottlenecks and bad bottlenecks, and how to configure them for CICS® Transaction Gateway. Find
out how to choose the best operating system in z/OS®
or Linux? And don’t even think about mainframe
application modernization until you read what needs to happen first.
Read on, and get ready for success! -
