BPC, Articles and Glossary. TPS: Transaction Processing Systems. Definition: A Transaction Processing System (TPS) is a type of information system that collects, stores, modifies and retrieves the data transactions of an enterprise. A transaction is any event that passes the ACID test in which data is generated or modified before storage in an information system.
A TPS can process transactions in two ways: batch and real time. With batch transaction processing, the system gathers transactions over a period of time and processes them all at once. For example, a payroll TPS gathers employees' hours for two weeks and then processes all the hours in one batch to calculate paycheck amounts. In contrast, with real-time processing, the system processes a transaction immediately. For example, when a traveler reserves a seat on a flight, a TPS uses real-time processing to reserve the seat immediately so that no one else can select it. Learn more about Software
