This paper proposes the usage of Live Tiles Usability Experience in Mainframes. The UI experience was brought into the mainframe CICS maps. The map related parameters and attributes are used for achieving the live tiles display and enhancing the user experience. The dynamic tiles UI is provided with location based interfacing on the CICS map. The concept of Temporary storage Queue (TSQ) is implemented in order to display the information and the concept of cursor positioning is also used to make the application user friendly. This paper also addresses how Live Tiles will improve the user interface in Mainframes. Live tile is implemented using COBOL, DB2, CICS in mainframe.
