 E-business (electronic business) is the conduct of business processes on the Internet

These electronic business processes include buying and selling products, supplies &
services, servicing customers, processing payments managing production control,
recruiting etc.

Today, as major corporations continuously rethink their businesses in terms of the

Internet, they are conducting e-business to buy parts and supplies from other
companies, collaborate on sales promotions and ideas

E-Business allows companies to link their internal and external processes more
efficiently and effectively with the associates to better satisfy the needs and
expectations of their customers
 An on-line transaction is the execution of a program that
performs an administrative function by accessing a shared
database, usually on behalf of an on-line user

A transaction is always the execution of a program

Each transaction should either return an acknowledgment that it

executed or return a negative acknowledgment that it did not
execute

Records of transactions, once completed, are permanent and

authoritative

 Performance is a critical aspect of TP systems. No one likes
waiting more than a few seconds for an automated teller
machine to dispense cash or for a hotel web site to accept a
reservation request
Response time to end-users is one important measure of TP
system performance. Companies that rely on TP systems, such as
banks, airlines
Commercial web sites, also want to get the most transaction
throughput for the money they invest in a TP system
They also care about system scalability; that is, how much they
can grow their system as their business grows.
 Vendor benchmarks are defined by an independent consortium
called the Transaction Processing Performance Council. The
benchmarks enable apples-to-apples comparisons of different
vendors hardware
The benchmarks use two main measures of a systems performance:
1. Throughput
2. Cost-per-Throughput-unit
Throughput is the maximum throughput it can attain, measured in
transactions per second (tps) or transactions per minute (tpm) . Each
benchmark defines a response time requirement for each
transaction type (typically 1 5 seconds)
The cost is calculated as the list purchase price of the hardware and
software, plus three years vendor-supplied maintenance on that
hardware and software (called the cost of ownership )
 The first two benchmarks promoted by TPC, called
TPC-A and TPC-B, model an ATM application that
debits or credits a checking account. The benchmark
was so successful in encouraging vendors to eliminate
these bottlenecks that within a few years nearly all
database systems performed very well on TPC-A/B.
The only difference is that TPC-A includes terminals
and a network in the overall system, while TPC-B does
not.
 It is based on an order-entry application for a wholesale supplier.
Compared to TPC-A/B, it includes a wider variety of transactions,
some heavy weight transactions
(which do a lot of work), and a more complex database.
The database centers around a warehouse , which tracks the
stock of items that it supplies to customers
within a sales district , and tracks those customers orders ,
which consist of order-lines .
