transaction

processing

facility

(TPF)

A

high-availability,

IBM

operating

system,

designed

to

support

real-time,

architecture

of

TPF

is

intended

to

optimize

system

efficiency,

reliability,

and

responsiveness

for

data

communication

and

database

processing.

TPF

provides

real-time

inquiry

and

updates

to

a

large,

centralized

database,

where

message
