The TPF 4.1 system is an operating system that works with application programs to process transactions for you in a real-time environment. For example, you can use the TPF 4.1 system for computing needs such as transaction processing, network switching, and front-end processing.
The TPF 4.1 system is designed for businesses and organizations that have high online transaction volumes and large networks. Because of its high capacity and high availability characteristics, the TPF 4.1 system is well-suited for environments where growth is expected to be very fast or unpredictable, or where there are high peak periods of transaction activity. It is especially useful for application programs that need high capacity and extremely low cost per transaction.
Very short path lengths for critical system services such as DASD input/output (I/O) to help make efficient use of the TPF 4.1 system resources and to provide a very low cost per transaction.
This chapter provides an overview of the changes and updates to the TPF 4.1 system that are included on each program update tape (PUT). See TPF Migration Guide: TPF 3.1 System to TPF 4.1 System for information about the features of the TPF 4.1 system.
