Overview of the Sale application
The Sale example application is a sample BTS application
that you can set up to see the workings of a business transaction.
The business transaction has four basic actions; order entry, delivery,
invoice, and payment. It also includes some more advanced BTS features.
The initial request
In
COBOL pseudocode, DFH0SAL1 creates and starts an instance of the Sale
business transaction. The initial request to start a Sale business
transaction is handled by the DFH0SAL0 and DFH0SAL1 programs.
The root activity
The SAL001 program starts a new instance of the Sale business transaction
by starting the SAL002 program, running under the transaction ID SALE.
SAL002 implements a root activity that manages the inter-relationship,
ordering, and execution of the child activities that make up the Sale
business transaction.
