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 ...
ALCS is a transaction processing monitor for the IBM System/360, System/370, System/390, and IBM Z mainframes. It is a variant of TPF specially designed to provide all the benefits of TPF (very high speed, high volume, and high availability in transaction processing) but with the advantages such as easier integration into the data center ...
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]
IBM Customer Information Control System (CICS) – 1969. A transaction manager designed for rapid, high-volume online processing, CICS originally used standard system datasets, but now has a connection to the IBM Db2 relational database system. Runs on OS/360 and successors and DOS/360 and successors, IBM AIX, VM, and OS/2.
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.
The AT/370 also ran VM/PC, but with PC DOS 3.0 instead of 2.10 that the XT version used. [11] VM/PC version 2, launched in November 1985, improved performance by up to 50%; it allowed add-on memory (in addition to the disk) to be used as a page cache for VM. [12] A November 1985 Computerworld article noted that the machine was "slow selling". [12]
Hercules is a computer emulator allowing software written for IBM mainframe computers (System/370, System/390, and zSeries/System z) and for plug compatible mainframes (such as Amdahl machines) to run on other types of computer hardware, notably on low-cost personal computers. Development started in 1999 by Roger Bowler, a mainframe systems ...
A text editor [2] Batch job support, including completion notification; Debuggers for some programming languages used on System/360 and later IBM mainframes; Support for other vendors' end-user applications, for example for querying IMS and DB2 databases; TSO interacts with users in either a line-by-line mode or in a full screen, menu-driven mode.
