How Does TMF Integrate With OLTP Software?
transactions, which can cause the database to be inconsistent. TMF maintains the
consistency of the company’s database.
In this manufacturing application, TMF and the database management system allow
the work of the company to continue, except for work requiring data from the damaged
volume.
After replacing the damaged disk, site personnel use the file recovery facility to restore
the database to a consistent state that represents the database just before the crash.
The inventory data residing on the volume is then ready for more transactions.
In this manufacturing application, TMF recovers the damaged volume.
How Does TMF Integrate With OLTP Software?
TMF must be integrated with other HP products to protect transactions and database
consistency. The relationship of TMF to other products (in a Pathway transaction
processing environment) is illustrated in Figure 1-9. Descriptions of these components
follow.
