The architecture of Ivory BMS/TS centers around the Ivory Studio, the primary design environment, and the runtime libraries deployed to the CICS region. The Ivory Studio is a GUI-based application that allows developers to visually design BMS screens. Screen definitions are stored in configuration files, which are generated by the Ivory Studio and deployed to the CICS environment.
The communication between the Ivory Studio and the CICS environment is facilitated through the CICS API. The Ivory Studio uses a proprietary format to store screen definitions. The runtime libraries, which are deployed to the CICS region, interpret these definitions and render the screens on 3270 terminals.
The CICS environment provides the necessary infrastructure for managing transactions, security, and data access. The CICS environment handles authentication and access control, typically using role-based access control (RBAC). The CICS environment also provides monitoring and logging capabilities.
The primary storage mechanism for screen definitions is the configuration files generated by the Ivory Studio. These files are deployed to the CICS environment and accessed by the runtime libraries. The network requirements include connectivity between the developer's workstation and the z/OS mainframe, as well as connectivity between the CICS region and the 3270 terminals.
