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

Local-Area Networks

Local-Area Networks ( LANs ) are restricted to a small area. Such Networks may be established within a building. Computers that are part of Local-Area Networks are Personal Computers ( PCs ) or microcomputers. These Computers are connected to each other. Simple communication lines connect these Pers Networks bring people together. When people join  hands teamwork becomes possible. The structural composition of LANs simplifies teamwork. In other words, LAN hardware supports teams having similar processing requirements. LAN Computers readily support personalization of tasks allocated to professionals.  Office staff can work together and share information. This improves the efficiency of the entire workforce. It has been noted that here all the Networked Computers are Personal Computers. They are of equal capacity. Mostly LAN users have similar tasks. If situations allow, a user is independent to access any Computer to serve his purpose. LAN users can exercise the option of secu...

Computers - An Introduction

Computers are man made machines. They are made to work very fast. Working fast they can solve  big and small problems.  Modern science has given us these computers. They are very popular. Computers affect and change lives. They keep us happy.The happiness grows. Computers are quick and smart. Great problem solvers and simplifiers are our computers. They can do our work without stopping. Focus is on doing only what is needed. Not needed, not done.  Computers are  life-less servants. They cannot think or make decisions on their own. They are empowered to work. They are given each and every thing so that they carry out our orders. Orders are respected by computers. The manner in which computers work is wholly dependent on man.  The quality of service provided by computers is remarkable. They are loved by human beings. Computers are known for smart and quick service. Computers do not give wrong results. Correct answers are always given. Questions which are difficult...

Euclid's Algorithm

The Greatest Common Divisor ( GCD ) of  two numbers is a number. The number ( GCD ) causes division of the two numbers. This number ( GCD ) is the greatest number that is possible. This divisor partially forms the two numbers. Adding  the divisor successively may result in formation of the two numbers. One can note that when the divisor is the greatest, the division of the dividend is the sharpest. The division operation is very effective. When the Greatest Common Divisor of two numbers is considered, we think of a number that can cause division of both the numbers. Here the two numbers are unequal. The Greatest Common Divisor causes divisions of the two numbers differently. This is clear from the two different quotient values.  The GCD value is very interesting to note. It relates very well with the two numbers. The GCD of two even numbers is also an even number. The GCD of two odd numbers is an odd number. So, we can say that GCD is an abstraction of the two numbers in ...
