Product Overview

Eden Server's architecture is based on emulating CICS and batch COBOL environments on Windows. The main components include the CICS Transaction Manager, VSAM Data Manager, and BMS Screen Handler. These components communicate through an internal messaging system, ensuring efficient transaction processing.

The CICS Transaction Manager handles transaction scheduling and execution. The VSAM Data Manager provides access to emulated VSAM datasets, stored as files on the Windows file system. The BMS Screen Handler emulates 3270 terminal interactions.

, `/transactions/{transactionID}`). Authentication methods include username/password and potentially integration with Windows Active Directory. Access control is managed through RBAC, allowing administrators to define user roles and permissions.

Data encryption may be used for sensitive data, both at rest and in transit. Audit logging captures user actions, system events, and security-related incidents. The product uses TCP/IP for network communication, with configurable port requirements.

The administrative interface is a GUI-based console for managing CICS regions, datasets, and user accounts. Configuration is managed through configuration files specifying CICS region parameters, VSAM dataset definitions, and BMS map definitions. Compared to mainframe environments, Eden Server offers improved agility and reduced operational expenses.

Competitors include other CICS emulation solutions, but Eden Server's focus on Windows integration and ease of use differentiates it.
