Transaction Processing

When it comes to transaction processing, it is about real-time business processes or transactions which are performed by a TPS or Transaction Processing System. Besides, other types of BIS or Business Information System are also used for this purpose. The process is initiated when a particular user request for fulfilment or completion of any process. Once the request is being received by the TPS, it creates a link and coordinates with the system in order to authorize, requests for data or any other types of tasks which might be essential in order to complete the transaction. For example, when someone makes a request for cash withdrawal in an ATM counter the first thing that the machine does is authorize the credentials of the user and then balance status/inquiry from the bank and the back-end system. Once it receives the required information, the user’s request is processed by the ATM machine. There is one thing that needs to be mentioned, a TPS is capable of accepting, rejecting or even halting a transaction based on certain variables.
