Abstract
A transaction processing (TP) application is a program that performs an administrative function by accessing a shared database on behalf of an on-line user. A TP system is an integrated set of products that supports TP applications. These products include both hardware, such as processors, memories, disks and communications controllers, and software such as operating systems (Oss), database management systems (DBMSs), computer networks and TP monitors. Much of the integration of these products is provided by TP monitors which coordinate the flow of transaction request between terminals that issue requests and TP applications that can process them.
Today, TP represents over 25 percent of the computer systems market and is one of the growing segments of the computer business. TP applications appear in most sectors of large-scale enterprises such as airline reservation, electronic banking, securities trading, inventory and production control, communications switching, videotex, sales management, military command and control and government services.
