Has anyone heard about TP-monitors for Unix (any type of Unix) ? (An example of a TP monitor is Dec-TP for VMS) A TP monitor should be able to do the following : The TP monitor listens to a network/serial lines/X.25/..... and waits for a transaction from the outside world. When a transaction arrives the TP monitor examines it and decides upon it's type what it should do with it. Some transactions would be sendt to application A, others would be sent to application B and some would be handled by a RDBMS. (The applications could be C programs which would execute a number of SQL transactions). When the transaction has been executed the TP sends the result to the user/program which sent it. If you know of TP monitor which works in this fashion then please E-mail the answers to stb@isbank.is -- Steinthor Bjarnason Internet: stb@isbank.is Islandsbanki h.f.
