Abstract
Governance concerns the methods that businesses use to control important aspects of their business and these methods must be measured. Compliance is the tolerance to the criteria that have been set. CICS v4 allows you to configure your system to produce application compliance data feeds and events without application change to show solution compliance on a dashboard.
The governance theme will largely be linked to CICS TS v4.1 which allows you to generate business events without requiring application change. This new capability will allow you to populate business dashboards provided by WebSphere® Business Monitor and to search for patterns in events with WebSphere Business Events. For business event processing, when CICS TS is operating as a stand-alone system, or used in conjunction with WebSphere Business Monitor or WebSphere Business Events (or both), it will enable you to understand and manage your business more easily, and to monitor risk and business compliance more effectively.
