Transaction Processing Products
Transaction processing (TP) products provide the following benefits:
• They enable developers to create applications that perform transaction processing across multiple hardware platforms, operating systems, database management systems, and TP monitor environments.
• They can maintain high availability by performing a variety of administrative tasks transparently, such as replicating data, rerouting transactions, and restarting servers that have failed.
• They can be scaled to coordinate transaction processing for a large number of users.
• They can be tuned and monitored for performance.
Many software vendors have introduced X/Open DTP‑compliant transaction processing products. For details about using Ingres DTP with a specific TP product, refer to the appendices at the end of this guide.
