The Nonstop Pathway system is a cornerstone of fault-tolerant computing, widely used in environments where data integrity and uptime are critical. At the heart of this system lies the TS/MP (Transaction Subsystem / Transaction Management Facility), which ensures safe, consistent, and recoverable transactions. This post breaks down the key components of the Pathway architecture and explains how TS/MP works to maintain data reliability, even in the face of failures. How the Non
