Transaction processing system and method

摘要

A transaction processing system, adapted for use in a computer system having a host computer running applications and user terminals connected to the host computer, determines the transaction attributes for each transaction received by the host computer and dynamically associates a transaction protocol to be used in processing that particular transaction. The transaction protocol specifies such attributes as synchronization paradigm and flow control. The synchronization paradigm and flow control are used only for as long as the transaction remains in the system and are used only for that transaction.
