The Most Complete Mainframe Rehosting Solution – XFRAME® from HTWC.


Quite simply, XFRAME is the most complete and powerful mainframe rehosting platform available today.

XFRAME provides a proven, high-performance, scalable, and reliable environment for running programs written in COBOL, PL/1, and C languages on Unix, Linux, and Microsoft Windows. It contains a transaction server to handle CICS and IMS/DC applications, and a complete batch environment for mainframe batch processes. XFRAME can rehost z/OS, OS/390, MVS, and VSE mainframe environments.

XFRAME is the only mainframe rehosting solution that provides complete functionality across Unix, Linux, and Windows operating systems.

XFRAME is a proven solution that is running successfully at more than 50 sites around the world.

XFRAME is the
only mainframe rehosting solution that offers the following features:
  • 95% CICS API compatibility.
  • Full support for Unix, Linux, and Microsoft Windows as target rehosting platforms.
  • Built-in sorting and spooling modules – full compatibility with IBM’s DFSORT means there is no need to purchase additional third-party products.
  • The most complete intersystem communication layer for CICS on open systems, including SNA APPC/LU6.2, distributed transaction processing (DTP), distributed program link (DPL), remote function shipping, and transaction routing (TOR/AOR) – a system running XFRAME XCICS is recognized by other mainframes as a native CICS region.
  • Unique XIMS Compatibility Toolkit allows integration of IMS/DC applications – both CICS and IMS applications can be monitored using the powerful XCICS transaction monitor.
  • Full compatibility with IBM’s CICS Web Interface (CWI) – this allows XCICS to operate as an application server, mixing COBOL programs with C programs to create complex web applications.
  • Complete JCL batch conversion to native Unix, Linux, and Windows scripts while preserving the original programming logic, simplifying testing and maintenance.
  • Full VSAM emulation supporting KSDS, ESDS, and RRDS files.
