  Principles of Transaction Processing is a comprehensive guide to developing applications, designing systems, and evaluating engineering products. The book provides detailed discussions of the internal workings of transaction processing systems, and it discusses how these systems work and how best to utilize them. It covers the architecture of Web Application Servers and transactional communication paradigms. The book is divided into 11 chapters, which cover the following: . Overview of transaction processing application and system structure . Software abstractions found in transaction processing systems . Architecture of multitier applications and the functions of transactional middleware and database servers . Queued transaction processing and its internals, with IBM's Websphere MQ and Oracle's Stream AQ as examples . Business process management and its mechanisms . Description of the two-phase locking function, B-tree locking and multigranularity locking used in SQL database systems and nested transaction locking . System recovery and its failures . Two-phase commit protocol . Comparison between the tradeoffs of replicating servers versus replication resources . Transactional middleware products and standards . Future trends, such as cloud computing platforms, composing scalable systems using distributed computing components, the use of flash storage to replace disks and data streams from sensor devices as a source of transaction requests. The text meets the needs of systems professionals, such as IT application programmers who construct TP applications, application analysts, and product developers. The book will also be invaluable to students and novices in application programming. * Complete revision of the classic non mathematical transaction processing reference for systems professionals. * Updated to focus on the needs of transaction processing via the Internet-- the main focus of business data processing investments, via web application servers, SOA, and important new TP standards. * Retains the practical, non-mathematical, but thorough conceptual basis of the first edition.

  Principles of Transaction Processing is a clear, concise guide for anyone involved in developing applications, evaluating products, designing systems, or engineering products. This book provides an understanding of the internals of transaction processing systems, describing how they work and how best to use them. It includes the architecture of transaction processing monitors, transactional communications paradigms, and mechanisms for recovering from transaction and system failures. Use of transaction processing systems in business, industry, and government is increasing rapidly; the emergence of electronic commerce on the Internet is creating new demands. As a result, many developers are encountering transaction processing applications for the first time and need a practical explanation of techniques. Software engineers who build and market operating systems, communications systems, programming tools, and other products used in transaction processing applications will also benefit from this thorough presentation of principles. Rich with examples, it describes commercial transaction processing systems, transactional aspects of database servers, messaging systems, Internet servers, and object-oriented systems, as well as each of their subsystems. This title features: easy-to-read descriptions of fundamentals and real world examples illustrating key points. It focuses on practical issues faced by developers. It explains most major products and standards, including IBM's CICS, IMS, and MQSeries; X/Open's XA, STDL, and TX; BEA Systems' TUXEDO; Digital's ACMS; Transarc's Encina; AT&T/NCR's TOP END; Tandem's Pathway/TS; OMG's OTS; and, Microsoft's Microsoft Transaction Server.
