Oracle supports MVS as either a database server (current release 7.1.4) and/or a database client. We support CICS, batch and TSO (as well as Oracle7 for MVS) as clients. Support for CICS includes support for CICS SYNCPOINT so that you can have two phase commit between Oracle7 and other CICS recoverable resources.
The products you would be interested in are:
The Oracle Pre-compilers
SQL*Net for MVS (we support both APPC/LU6.2 and TCP/IP)
Access Manager for CICS (if you need access from CICS)
