Business Logic Interface

The Business Logic Interface (BLI) was introduced as part of CICS Transaction Server 1.2. Previously, facilities provided by the CICS Web Interface were only available to web browsers. The BLI makes these facilities available to other applications that do not deal with internet format data streams. For example, input may arrive from a MVS batch region or from MQSeries. 

BLI allows the user to manipulate input/output data, in order to make it correct for the target CICS application to be entered. CICS applications originally written to be invoked via a LINK and given a COMMAREA can now also be invoked from other sources.
