Transaction management

A DBMS performs what is called transaction management. This process allows multiple users to access and store data in the database without cormption. The abiUty to do this is particularly important when data are being written to the DBMS, because power intermptions or hardware failure can cause database transactions to be incompletely processed. Transaction managers use the "all or nothing" principle all the data is written to the DBMS, ie, the transaction is completed, or none of it is written.

ERP systems, in part, enable those activities described by Chairman Greenspan by providing two core functions transaction management and near-term decision support. The objective of transaction management is to track the effect of execution activities on inventories, resources, and orders, while the objective of intermediate-term decision support is to use that and other information to generate acciuate plans for sourcing, production, and delivery. 

In addition to these application-functional layers, some functions are needed to support interactions between clients and servers via networks. All the distributed software that supports interaction between application components and network software is called middleware. Middleware is a generic term for all the software components that allow us to connect separate layers or components and put them into a complete distributed system. It provides an application programming interface (API) that isolates application codes from the underlying network communication formats and protocols. It also supplies intermediate system services such as security, naming, directory, messaging, and transaction management services ...

As shown in Fig. 8.7, an engineering tool commits (Step 1) changes to its local repository, which is automatically pushed (Step 2) by a so-called hook to the master repository of the model. Triggered by a hook on the master repository of the model, the transaction manager identifies correlating models (Step 3, 4) and requests the...
