CICS

All CICS programs that access DB2 use the CICS attachment facility. CICS provides components that establish the connection to DB2. Many connections, called threads, can be established between a single CICS region and a DB2 subsystem. Each CICS region can attach to only one DB2 subsystem at a time.
