Re: On Hercules can we simulate CICS?
hercules is an HARDWARE emulator ...
You will need a full working operating system.
after that any program supported by the operating system running will work.
and it will not be simulated... it will be the real thing.

When I tell somebody to RTFM or STFW I usually have the page open in another tab/window of my browser,
so that I am sure that the information requested can be reached with a very small effort

Re: On Hercules can we simulate CICS?
Thanks but I don't quite understand the word "Hardware emulator"?? What is hardware telling me here?
I think I did not post well previously, I wanted to know that CICS should not be a free product so will I be able to run it even after having the operating system?after that any program supported by the operating system running will work.

Re: On Hercules can we simulate CICS?
think of Hercules as belonging to the family of virtualizers-hardware emulators ( VMware, Parallels, VirtualBox, ..., ..., ... )
You start VMware, attach a real/virtual cdrom and start the installation of windows, linux, whatever operating system supported
You start hercules, define the appropriate virtual devices with the appropriate disk images of the operating system You are allowed to run
and there You go , You have a mainframe operating system alive and kicking.
unfortunately CICS is not a free product.

Using the Free Turnkey 4 (to update 7) product which includes kics you can run under Hercules all aspects of the MVS system.
