Unikix Experience.. 

                                  I got a unique chance to work with a client, who got rehosted the mainframe to IBM AIX server, which enables the same functionalities of IBM CICS in Unix environment. It’s an awesome job done by Clerity solutions for seamless business operations for the customers by rehosting it.

UniKix Mainframe rehosting Software, from Clerity Solutions, enables the users to rehost legacy mainframe applications on open systems platforms such as IBM AIX, HP-UX, Sun Solaris, and Linux, making it feasible to replicate mainframe functionality on open systems without needing to rewrite applications in a new language.

Two products, Unikix Transaction Processing Environment (TPE) and UniKix Batch Processing Environment (BPE), together provide an environment for running CICS and batch applications on open systems. Similar to mainframe CICS, Unikix TPE software launches a transaction and then initializes the entire operating environment, handling all the data access, communication, and calls between programs. UniKix also provides several facilities to share resources and data between UniKix regions and IBM CICS systems. An IBM CICS mainframe system appears like a remote region to UniKix through Intersystem Communication (ISC).

Key features of Unikix are:

·        Dynamic loading of shared libraries, including EXTFH libraries used to run batch programs

·        Interoperability with a variety of utilities that replicate mainframe functionality, such as external sort modules and utilities that handle complex calculations

·        Debugging of CICS COBOL programs using the ACUCOBOL-GT runtime debugger

·        Familiar EXEC CICS APIs

·        Integration with modern desktop environments

·        Easy access to enterprise-wide e-business applications
