Communications Applications in Context
Communications Applications in Context
As the examples in this section demonstrate, most communications applications are
not isolated but operate in the context of larger transaction processing (TP)
applications. Specifically, a great many applications involving communications products
also use the services of the Pathway TP environment and the NonStop SQL distributed
relational database management system.
HP Transaction Processing (TP) Services on page 3-9 describes the Pathway
environment—as well as the other TP services provided by HP—and the NonStop SQL
product in more detail.
HP Transaction Processing (TP) Services
The HP TP services consist of a set of core services that provide the underlying
infrastructure for your TP application and a choice of TP monitor environments, as
shown in Figure 3-4. A TP monitor is a set of software processes that provides an
environment for developing, running, and managing high-volume online transaction
processing (OLTP) applications.
Note. For complete information about HP TP services, refer to the Introduction to NonStop
SQL/MP and the Introduction to Pathmaker manuals.
