Command sequences for CICS-to-IMS sessions

The command sequences that you use to communicate between the front-end and the back-end transactions are governed both by the requirements of your application and by a set of high-level protocols designed to ensure that commands are not issued in inappropriate circumstances.

The protocols presented in this section do not cover all possible command sequences. However, by following them, you ensure that each transaction takes account of the requirements of the other. This helps to avoid errors during program development.
