It also shows you how to apply threshold policy and measure resource usage, all without source code changes to the original application. In addition, this book describes how to use multi-versioning to safely and reliably apply and back out application changes.

This Redbooks publication includes instructions about the following topics:

• How to create a CICS TS platform to manage and reflect the health of a set of CICS TS regions, and the services that they provide to applications
  
• How to quickly get value from CICS TS applications, by creating and deploying a CICS TS application for an existing user application
  
• How to protect your CICS TS platform from erroneous applications by using threshold policies
  
• How to deploy and run multiple versions of the same CICS TS application on the same CICS TS platform at the same time, enabling a safer migration from one application version to another, with no downtime
  
• How to measure application resource usage, enabling a comparison of the performance of different application versions, and chargeback based on application use
