Estimating the term…
According to the basic principles of the present invention inventional transaction program means (20) is provided for cooperation with a conventional hierarchical file system (10) which provides it with transactional functionality. A file system (10) managed according to the inventional method can thus be seen as a file resource with which transaction processes, e.g., commit and rollback processes can be realized. This is advantageously achieved by implementing a transaction resource interface which acts as a wrapper program or a shell around the prior art file system and which can be accessed by a prior art transaction manager for achieving cooperation and data consistency between the file system (10) and any database (30), or between two or more file systems (10).
A method for managing a file system comprising:
A computer system being able to access a file system which is manageable by transaction program means according to a method of managing a file system comprising:
A computer program for execution in a data processing system comprising computer program code portions for performing the steps of providing transaction program means arranged for a cooperation with said file system, said transaction program means implementing transactional functionality to changes of said file system.
