CICS CICS (Customer Information Control System) is a transaction server that runs primarily on IBM mainframe systems under z/OS or z/VSE. CICS on distributed platforms is called TXSeries and it is available on AIX, Windows, Solaris and HP-UX. CICS is a transaction processing system designed for both online and batch activity. CICS easily supports thousands of transactions per second, making it a mainstay of enterprise computing. Developers in this competency should have experience in developing, testing, and maintaining applications using COBOL and CICS. JCL/VSAM Job Control Language (JCL) is a scripting language used on IBM mainframe operating systems to run a batch program. Virtual Storage Access Method (VSAM) is an IBM disk file storage scheme first used in the OS/VS2 operating system and later used throughout the Multiple Virtual Storage (MVS) architecture. Again, there is no substitute. Developers must have hands-on experience with this technology. Changeman Changeman is a tool for controlling the maintenance ant testing of existing systems. A close equivalent is Panvalet but most clients want hands on experience with their specific tool. DB2 DB2 is IBM's line of RDBMS software products within IBM's broader Information Management software line. Most often DB2 refers to DB2 Enterprise Server Edition or the top-of-the-line DB2 Data Warehouse Edition (DB2 DWE), which runs on UNIX, Windows or Linux servers; or DB2 for z/OS. Developers must have hands on experience with this technology. Has general knowledge of the labor category field and the ability to work with minimal supervision. Minimum Education: A Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, Business, or other related discipline. With 6 years’ experience, a degree is not required. Commercial Job Title: Mainframe Developer Level 2 In addition to the Mainframe Developer Level 1 skills, has significant knowledge of the labor category field and the ability to direct the work of others.
