Data processing on the mainframe can be grouped into two main categories:
- Online transaction processing (OLTP)
- Batch processing
Why Batch process?
- Centralized computing model
- Security
- Manageability
- Workload management
- Reliability
- Scalability
- Availability
Scope to change:
- Existing Programs are Not Adequate for New Requirements
To write program for some of the modern features is quite complex in mainframe
- Generating Documents in PDF Format
- Sending emails
- Processing XML
- New standards
- Access to remote systems
Wait for my next posts on it..
