1.1.2 Flexible system configuration

To enable online transaction processing in a distributed computing environment, the OpenTP1 system configuration, including user application programs (UAPs), is based on the client/server model. This allows software resources such as programs and databases to be structured independently of the hardware configuration. Also, if the hardware configuration needs to be expanded to handle increased work loads, there is almost no effect on software resources.

Figure 1-4 illustrates the flexible system configuration.
