Atom feeds from CICS

CICS can serve Atom feeds to web clients. The Atom feeds consist of data that is supplied by CICS resources or application programs. When you expose a CICS resource or application program as an Atom feed or collection, users can read and update the data by making HTTP requests from external client applications, such as feed readers or web mashup applications.

CICS provides samples that you can use to help you set up an Atom feed or collection using your own data. To try out CICS support for Atom feeds and see how web clients interact with them, set up and use the sample Atom collection, following the instructions in Create an Atom feed to work with employee information.
