Can we call CICS program from a batch program?

Post by Sushant S »

Hello,

Can we call CICS program from a batch program? I have search about it and I got some mentions about BATCHCICS third party product but we don't have that available.

We have a claim system in which the end user enters in the claim data, TRAN1. And CICS program gets executed once user press the enter. Whether claim can be accepted or rejected, that decision happen in real time. As of now this user enters only one claim at a time. But going forward user can enter 25 claims at a time. Now, in the case of single claim entry if the claim is rejected the data is stored in a DB and other use from "rejected" department picks up the rejected claim and works on it to get accepted. This works fine for single reject but in the case of 25 claim submission say 15 gets rejected. Then we want these 15 rejected claims to be executed simultaneously for which we are thinking if we can call the TRAN1 from a COBOL batch program.
