CICS Transaction Gateway (CICS TG) SDK Downloads which says (in part)

The CICS TG SDK contains all the CICS TG JARs, RARs, shared libraries, headers, libs, and schemas that are needed to write, compile, and ship a CICS TG application for any supported release of CICS TG. The SDK is designed to provide everything that is required to write a client application, implementing one of the exits, processing CICS TG statistics, and creating JSON web services.
