  2. Transaction Processing Facility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Transaction_Processing_Facility

    Transaction Processing Facility (TPF) [2] is an IBM real-time operating system for mainframe computers descended from the IBM System/360 family, including zSeries and System z9. TPF delivers fast, high-volume, high-throughput transaction processing, handling large, continuous loads of essentially simple transactions across large, geographically ...

  3. Transaction processing system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transaction_processing_system

    In addition to airlines, TPF is used by large banks, credit card companies, and hotel chains. The Hewlett Packard Enterprise NonStop system (formerly Tandem NonStop) is a hardware and software system designed for Online Transaction Processing (OLTP) introduced in 1976. [2] The system provides an extreme level of availability and data integrity.

  4. ALCS transaction monitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ALCS_transaction_monitor

    Whereas TPF runs as a stand-alone OS, ALCS is designed to run as an application on top of MVS/OS/390/z/OS. However, the API it provides to applications is very similar to that on TPF, so applications written for TPF can run on ALCS with minimal modifications: typically fewer modifications than are required to move from one release of TPF to ...

  5. History of IBM mainframe operating systems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_IBM_mainframe...

    All modern IBM mainframe operating systems except z/TPF are descendants of those included in the "System/370 Advanced Functions" announcement – z/TPF is a descendant of ACP, the system which IBM initially developed to support high-volume airline reservations applications.

  6. Programmed Airline Reservations System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programmed_Airline...

    Programmed Airline Reservations System (PARS) is an IBM proprietary large scale airline reservation application, a computer reservations system, executing under the control of IBM Airline Control Program (ACP) (and later its successor, Transaction Processing Facility (TPF)). Its international version was known as IPARS. [1]

  7. IBM Airline Control Program - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_Airline_Control_Program

    IBM Airline Control Program, or ACP, is a discontinued operating system developed by IBM beginning about 1965. In contrast to previous airline transaction processing systems, the most notable aspect of ACP is that it was designed to run on most models of the IBM System/360 mainframe computer family.

  8. IBM Type-III Library - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_Type-III_Library

    Most early operating systems were shipped in this way. Source distribution of the VM family of operating systems continued for several decades after it supplanted CP/CMS from the Type-III Library, and TPF was always distributed in source form, apparently continued today with z/TPF. Unlike Type-III software, such systems were supported by IBM.

  9. SabreTalk - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SabreTalk

    SabreTalk is a discontinued dialect of PL/I for the S/360 IBM mainframes running the TPF platform. SabreTalk was developed jointly by American Airlines, Eastern Air Lines and IBM. SabreTalk is known as PL/TPF (Programming Language for TPF). [1] In 1973, Eastern Air Lines' computing division was selling the SabreTalk compiler for US$95,000. [2]
