CICS
From Oracle FAQ
CICS (Customer Information Control System) is an IBM product for transaction management. CICS provides database and data communications (DB/DC) support for transaction based programs.
Access Manager for CICS
Oracle provides an "Oracle Access Manager for CICS" product that can be used to run 3GL programs (eg COBOL, C, etc.) in a CICS environment.
With Access Manager it is no longer required to have an Oracle database on MVS.
Transaction synchronization can be controlled by CICS (EXEC CICS SYNCPOINT). This means that multiple data sources like DB/2, IMS, as well as Oracle on MVS and non-MVS platforms can be updated or rolled back as a single transaction.
History
SQL*Forms V2.3 and V3.0 was able to execute from CICS, but Oracle de-support SQL*Forms on MVS effective from 1 January 1998.
