Information technology. Open systems interconnection. Distributed transaction processing. OSI TP model | Status: Confirmed, Current

1 Scope This part of ISO/IEC 10026:

1. a) provides a general introduction to the concepts and mechanisms defined in ISO/IEC 10026;
2. b) defines a model of distributed transaction processing;
3. c) defines the requirements to be met by the OSI TP Service; and
4. d) takes into consideration the need to coexist with other Application Service Elements, e.g. RDA (Remote Database Access), ROSE (Remote Operations Service Element), and non-ROSE based applications.

This part of ISO/IEC 10026 makes sufficient provisions to allow the specification of transaction-mode communications services and protocols that meet the properties of: atomicity, consistency, isolation, and durability (the ACID properties), as defined in ISO/IEC 9804. This part of ISO/IEC 10026 does not specify individual implementations or products, nor does it constrain the implementation of entities or interfaces within a computer system.
