Transaksiesisteem

A transaksiesisteem, also known as a transaction processing system (TPS), is a type of information system that handles the collection, modification, and retrieval of data related to business transactions. These systems are fundamental to the operation of many organizations, as they manage the day-to-day activities that drive business. Examples include systems used for sales, reservations, payroll, and inventory management. The primary goal of a transaksiesisteem is to process transactions efficiently, accurately, and reliably.

Key characteristics of a transaksiesisteem include high volume processing, speed, and the ability to maintain data integrity. Transactions must be processed quickly to ensure business operations are not hindered. Data integrity is paramount, meaning that once a transaction is recorded, it should be accurate and consistent, even in the event of system failures. This is often achieved through mechanisms like atomicity, consistency, isolation, and durability (ACID properties), which ensure that transactions are processed completely or not at all, maintain database consistency, occur independently of other transactions, and are permanent once committed.

Transaksiesisteem are typically designed to be robust and fault-tolerant. They often involve multiple components, including input devices, processing units, databases, and output devices, all working together to capture and process transactional data. The output of a transaksiesisteem can be used for operational reports, tactical decision-making, and as input for other information systems like management information systems (MIS) or decision support systems (DSS).
