Hints
- This refers to types of transactions not volumes.
- For example, if an application has 45 EIs, EOs, and EQs, what
percent of the EIs, EOs, and EQs are accomplished via on-line
transactions.
Typically
- Batch applications receive a score of 0 to 1
- On-line, real-time, telecommunication, or process control
systems receive a score of 5
- Most contemporary on-line (including interactive client-server
or web-enabled) applications receive a score of 5
- Batch systems with on-line features may have a lot of batch
transactions, but there must be at least 71 percent batch to
receive a score of less than 5.
