TPF | Transaction
Processing Facility (TPF) is
a high-performance operating
system specifically designed
to provide high availability
for demanding high volume, real-time
transaction processing for mission
critical e-business applications.
Developed by IBM, it is used
by airline, hotel, credit card
companies and others who require
such a real-time high speed
transaction system. Due to the
flexible nature of StatePointPlus,
we are able to provide the first
in-board TPF automation for
the control of inputs and outputs
to the Transaction Processing
Facility (TPF). SPP provides
a GUI-based application that
reduces the automation programming
effort, easily controls all
TPF functions, corrects errors
and provides comprehensive audit
reports in an XML format of
all changes to the system, errors,
what was done to correct them,
by whom and when.

Production
- Is it possible
to track changes to all my computers
on multiple platforms with one software
solution?
- How can I be systematically
proactive in keeping computers operational?
- How can I identify
and fix problems on a computer before
the end user is aware that there
is one?
- How can I ensure
critical applications are running
and hot-fixes are current?
- How can I answer
the question “What changed?”
after something has gone wrong?
Production
Solutions: Enforcing Consistent System
Configurations
The proposition of controlling the
integrity of computers is an important
business issue. If you are in a regulated
business this issue takes on a burden
of proof as well as prudence. For
all industries, the assurance of product
or service integrity leads directly
to the need for better control of
computer system integrity.
The importance of
implementing consistent system changes
typically increases as an organization’s
need for system reliability increases,
the need to minimize support personnel
increases and the need to stay current
with new technology increases. If
an organization has these needs they
often work against each other, with
each need driving the other two in
the reverse direction.
StatePointPlus improves
an organization’s capability
to pursue all three areas of need
simultaneously. This is made possible
by the SBM capability of StatePointPlus
to control system configurations to
varied sets of control strategies.
In this way the arbitrary diversities
that creep into systems are controlled
to known, valid, production configurations.
As a result, system reliability is
improved, support requirements are
reduced and new technology implementations
proceed with reduced production jeopardy
and reduced support investment.
Enforcing configuration
standards for application product
versioning is a key element in IT
management strategies when the product
an organization produces depends on
computers. Enforcing consistent application
configurations can be important to
both production reliability and product
quality, often having a direct impact
on customers and profits.
The SBM technology
of StatePointPlus enables enterprises
to see and control all the configuration
elements of interest in all their
computers simultaneously. Because
they are no longer inferring the control
of production applications from administrative
processes but actually verifying all
configuration requirements directly,
there is greater confidence in production,
less jeopardy to production when application
migrations are made, and quicker diagnosis
and response when production configuration
deviations occur. Within seconds a
single query can provide a real-time
report of the version level of any
software application across every
computer in the enterprise. The internal
software name can even be cross-checked
for more complete certification.
For most production
management processes there are typically
visible indications of the health
of both production and product, allowing
management and technical staff to
track production readiness and performance
as well as product quality. These
visible metrics are present in some
form whether the product is a widget,
a financial transaction, or a military
unit. In today’s world it’s
a safe bet that both production and
product rely on the configuration
integrity of the systems supporting
production—and so you’re
your organization’s bottom line.
