Notes:

* TP Market: $17billion-1995, $20billion-1997 (Standish Group), CICS has generated more revenues than any other piece of software! - Jim Gray

* From main frames, DB managers took care of the data, TPMs of applications and proceses

* In 1986 Syabse introduced - Stored Procedures & Triggers, miltithreaded server, the others followed….

* TP-Lite: Transaction management using RDBMS stored procedures, triggers, multithreaded connections - some of the TPM functions right on the RDBMS

- function shipping, some funneling

- single-function tran. mangt., RPC-like calls

* TP-Heavy: the new crop of TPMs…CICS, Encina, Tuxedo, Pathway, Top End, and ACMS that allow PC clients to intiate comples multiserver trans.

- process managment, load balancing, glaobal trans. synch.

- multiple resource managers, funneling

* TP-Lite lacks:

- no global trans. control, primitive process management,

- single resource manager (the RDBMS), no ACID nesting

* Scope of commit:

- TP-Lite - must code ACID properties - to handletransactions that expand over more than one procedure call.
