This article refers to the computer software. Please see TPMS for other uses

TPMS or Transaction Processing Management System is transaction processing monitor software from ICL (now Fujitsu Computer Services) that runs on their VME mainframe computers. The first versions were released in the mid-1970s and were sold worldwide.

Structure

The service runs in at least two Virtual Machines (VMs)

  • a Control VM (CVM), responsible for connecting, disconnecting terminals and routing messages
  • one or more Application VMs (AVMs), responsible for processing input messages and returning output messages.
