2. is a style of computing that divides work into
individual, indivisible operations, called
transactions
A transaction processing system or transaction
server is a software system, or software/hardware
combination, that supports transaction processing.
3. Transaction processing systems provide three
functional
System runtime functions
System administration functions
Application development functions
4. Transaction processing systems provide an
execution environment that ensures the integrity,
availability, and security of data. It also ensures
fast response time and high transaction
throughput.
5. Transaction processing systems provide
administrative support that lets users configure,
monitor, and manage their transaction systems.
6. Transaction processing systems provide functions
for use in custom business applications, including
functions to access data, to perform intercomputer
communications, and to design and manage the
user interface.
7. The earlier transaction processing systems were
manual systems.
Clerks use manual system in recording, data
keeping, managing and forwarding.
Customers and suppliers files separately
managed by manually system.
Computer system resolve all problems which were
faced by manual work.
Computer system covers all transactions
efficiently, quickly and beneficial.
8. Online transaction process
OLTP has also been used to refer to processing in which the system
responds immediately to user requests. An automated teller machine(ATM)
for a bank is an example of commercial transaction processing application.
Online transaction processing applications are high throughput and insert or
update-intensive or database management. These applications are used by
concurrently by hundred of users. The key goals of OLTP applications are
availability speed, concurrency and recoverability.
