Business Transaction
Running an Application Transaction in a business sector, such an 'Opening an Export L/C' generates a business transaction when saved. This business transaction is then used as a basis for further processing by the Workflow Manager , for example. After the Schedule has been completely processed, a History is generated from the business transaction.
C
Contract
An electronic file of the agreed business, containing all data related to the business and a complete sequence from opening to closing (Business Transactions and History). A contract can be identified thanks to its unique reference number.
D
Database Transaction
A database transaction is used to ensure the coherence and integrity of the data. A database transaction is initiated and controlled in an application transaction and cannot be influenced by the user. .
Document
A document is a fully generated message, or item of correspondence, based on a Format Template. This can be a letter or an electronic message, such as SWIFT, Email, fax, etc. Documents are generated in Business Transactions and stored together with them. A business transaction can contain numerous documents. The Application Transaction defines when what document is generated and under what conditions.
F
Format Template
A format template is an outline for a Document to be created. When the document is generated, the format template is used to insert the layout and contents from the Business Transaction in the prescribed positions.
H
History
The history is a list of all Business Transactions handled within a contract. An entry in the history is generated at the end of each business transaction.
L
Log
A file containing a list of all events and changes made. Basically it is a technical logbook.
O
Overlay
The version of the software customized by the customer is located in the (customer) overlay.
When taking over files to a client/server system, the files to be taken over can be compared by merging the different overlays, so that the correct file will be moved out of the correct overlay to the correct target client/server-system.
A more simple version of the merging would be, for example, to copy the product to the target and to go upwards through the overlays level by level in order to overwrite the file versions possible located there before.
S
Schedule
A list of every separate step, or service, which a Business Transaction runs through after it is initially saved.
Service
A single step within a workflow.
Straight Through Processing (STP)
STP is defined as fully automated processing of messages without any manual modifications. This means that an incoming message has not to been read or handled by any clerk of a department, but nevertheless all necessary steps are being taken by the application.
In the application, for example, incoming messages can (depending on the customization) be processed automatically via the Manager for Automatic Execution of Pending Items (SPTTSK). In this process, the respective outgoing messages are generated and/or the stored data is updated automatically.
T

W
Workflow
The list of all individual steps (services) which a Business Transaction has to pass after being stored, in order to be processed completely.
