1. Bringing the strengths
of the IBM mainframe
to the use of the Dojo
Toolkit.
Introducing CICS JS/Server
from Matter of Fact Software

2. Why Dojo?
When we embarked upon an upgrade of our PlexSpy
software solution, we wanted to display graphical data
in the web browser. We discovered that the Dojo Toolkit
offered us the best option for doing so.

3. Why CICS JS/Server?
We quickly realised that to have complete, trustworthy,
control over all of the software used by the web clients
running PlexSpy, the Dojo Toolkit itself needed to be
embedded into the mainframe alongside our software.
As this issue must concern other users of the Dojo
Toolkit, it was decided that a mainframe based solution
was needed that could provide that control generically.
That solution became CICS JS/Server.

4. CICS JS/Server
• Simple to install.
• Dojo is served out of well understood mainframe PDS
datasets.
• TCPIP connectivity with CICS on the mainframe using
port sharing and Sysplex distributor (if necessary)
provides almost limitless scaling, reliability and
resilience for serving the Dojo Toolkit to web clients.
• It’s on the mainframe so controlling and managing it is
well understood and trusted.

5. PlexSpy V2.0 etc
Graphical Data is now possible and all of the other
features of Dojo are at our disposal.
What could your enterprise achieve using the
Dojo Toolkit served from the mainframe?
