TFG2000

The TFG2000 architecture is centered around the CICS transaction processing system and IMS databases. The main components include the CICS transaction processor, IMS databases, and various application modules. CICS manages the interactions between the application modules and the IMS databases, handling transactions and data exchange.

The application modules are designed to handle specific business functions, such as inventory management, purchasing, and manufacturing. Communication between components is primarily managed through CICS, which provides the necessary interfaces and protocols for data exchange. The system uses IMS databases for data storage, providing a robust and reliable storage mechanism.

Network requirements are dictated by the z/OS and CICS environments, with specific ports and protocols used for communication. The system's design emphasizes modularity, with distinct modules for different business functions. Security is integrated through the z/OS and CICS security features, ensuring secure access and data protection.

The architecture is designed to provide a stable and scalable platform for managing complex manufacturing and supply chain operations. The key difference from modern architectures is the reliance on mainframe technologies.
