SAP Transaction Banking: Measurements of IBM System z DB Server Using DB2 V9.1 for z/OS

Overview Bank posting and balancing, often called core banking, are crucial to all commercial banks. Historically, it was one of the first parts of a banking operation to be automated with computers. Not only is it crucial to the bank's business, but it generally has the highest processing volumes and resource requirements and has extremely high availability requirements. According to some sources, core banking today is mainly done on mainframes - mostly as custom developed CICS or IMS applications. However, changes in the competitive market place as well as legal and regulatory requirements have caused many banks to consider application packages from vendors such as SAP AG.
