Distributed Transaction

A Transaction is an activity. Here give and take is performed. A 'request' is given and 'response' is taken. It is so simple. 

Let us look at 'request'. A need may arise at a Client Computer. 

___________________________


Note: A Client Computer is a small Computer.

___________________________


The Client Computer may look for certain information. Clearly the information is not with the Client Computer. So, it tries to get it. It starts an activity. It moves ahead. It goes outside the boundary. It is because the Client Computer needs some information. It is not having that information. 

A  Client Component requests information. When we move out, we need a channel. So  the Client Component uses a channel to 'request' information. The 'request' passes through a channel.

Yes, the Client Component has made a 'request'. The Component knows the requirement. But it does not know the manner to get the required object. How to get the object it requires? The Client Component does not know the answer. 

Plus, the Client Component is  an artificial object.

The language that the needy Client Component speaks is not readily understandable. The Component has forwarded its 'request'. Its request is right and genuine. But it is not in proper form.

Yes, we have the Client Component that made a 'request'. The Client Component needs information. So, it has made a 'request'. But there may be many Client Components making 'requests'. It is because the hunger for information is everywhere. Many of Client Components express hunger for information.

Now, the 'request' making activity is over. So, the request is channelized to Transaction Server. As we have come to know that there are many things to be settled. 

Carrying the TRANSACTION forward the 'request' is refined by a Transaction server. It is made good-looking and meaningful. Now the 'request' is understandable.

___________________________

Note: The Transaction Server is a Computer with high processing speed.

___________________________


We now have the unstructured or raw 'request' in a well-decorated form. The transformation is done by Component that is part of the Transaction Server. 

The well-decorated form of the raw and unstructured 'request' is structured 'request'. The structured request is transferred to the Database Server. 

___________________________

Note: Database Server is a Computer with high memory space. It is a huge collection of information.

___________________________

Now, the Component concept becomes active on the Database Server. The structured 'request' is handled properly by the Database. The 'response' is generated for the 'request' with the help of Database Server.

The generated 'response' is transferred from the Database Server to the Transaction Server. From the Transaction Server the 'response' travels to Client Computer. The Client Computer that generated the 'request' is happy with the 'response'.



___________________________

From the above discussion the 'request' travels in the direction:

Client Computer -> Transaction Server -> Database Server

___________________________


___________________________

The 'response' travels in the direction:

Database Server -> Transaction Server -> Client Computer

Interface Message Processor ( IMP )

Interface Message Processor ( IMP ) is a special purpose Computer. The Processor plays a vital role in Host-to-Host communication. IMP is placed between Host Computers.  IMP helps Hosts to exchange information. IMPs ( Interface Message Processors ) form a group. The group dedicates itself towards reliable transmission of Packets. _________________________ Note: An Interface Message Processor can be supposed to have a face. Firstly this supposed face of IMP is in the direction of the first Host, which sends the  message. Secondly, this face is turned towards the other Host.  Now, the IMP,  with its face turned around, communicates with this other Host.  Transformed message from IMP is communicated to this Host. __________________________ Message ( a piece of information ) sent from the Host ( source of information  ) is transformed into Packets. Transformation of the message into Packets is performed by an IMP. These Packets are forwarded to the receiver H...

Understanding Distribution

Distributed presence means that more than one object is there. Also, these objects are situated at more than one location.  One object may establish communication with another object. The first object may deliver some message. The message can be received by another object. It can be said that object distribution is successful, as one object has succeeded in delivering a message. The second object has successfully received the message. Two objects are at a distance. Communication brings them closer. The successful communication has served to highlight that the idea of distribution is meaningful. Distribution helps exchange of information. Many different objects can form a group.  Two groups can occupy different locations.  It may happen that at a particular location there are several objects. But, all these objects talk among themselves.They talk among themselves and make things happen.  There is a resultant of this talk process. All the communicating objects  at...

Message Switching

Message is a piece of information. Switching means movement.  In a Network there are a number of nodes. Nodes are vital junctions of a Network. Message Switching means transmission from one node ( one point ) of a Network to another node ( another point ). So, transmission is from point to point. Transmission from one point to another point is a single hop ( jump ). Message Switching means switch over of a Message. In one step of Message Switching,  Message switches over from one node to another.  The two nodes involved in a Switching operation are on the same Network. It cannot be that the beginning node ( source node) is on one Network and the second node ( sink node ) is on a different Network. In a point to point ( one junction to another junction ) transmission, a Message travels a part of its journey. Message moves from previous point to next point. The Network is Point-to-Point Network. A Switching activity means movement of a message. Indeed, the Message has mov...
