Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to systems and methods for installing a program within a CICS region without an antecedent program. A CICS region where the program is to be installed may detect an initiating event, the CICS region executing logical units of work that each corresponds to a task of a host operating system (OS). The initiating event may generate a first logical unit of work to intercept service calls made by the CICS region. In response to the first logical unit of work intercepting a first service call, control of execution of the first service call may be transitioned from the host OS to a CICS execution API. The CICS execution API may issue one or more API calls related to installation of the program, wherein the CICS execution API executes the one or more API calls as if they are part of the first service call.

Deploying a program from within an active CICS region

A method in a mainframe computing system to invoke a partner product exit routine in an information management system while the information management system is in operation. The method includes scheduling an interrupt routine for execution, creating, by the interrupt routine, an information management system task, where the information management system task is a work unit that provides a logical service within the information management system, scheduling, by the interrupt routine, the information management system task for execution, invoking, by the information management system task, the partner product exit routine, and installing, by the partner product exit routine, a component of a software product that allows the software product to integrate with the information management system.
