51
Q

mainframe-based applications
batch oriented
early legacy systems use flat files for data storage
later legacy systems use hierarchical and network databases
data storage systems promote a single-user environment that discourages information integration

A

legacy systems

52
Q

client-server based and process transactions in real time
use relational database tables
have high degree of process integration and data sharing
some are mainframe based and use batch processing

A

modern system

53
Q

two computer based accounting systems

A

batch and real-time systems

54
Q

a group of similar transactions that are accumulated over time and then processed together

A

batch processing

55
Q

transactions must be independent of one another during the time period over which the transactions are accumulated in order for batch processing to be appropriate.

A

batch processing

56
Q

exists between the event and the processing.

A

time lag

57
Q

source documents are transcribed by clerks to magnetic tape for processing later

A

keystroke

58
Q

identifies clerical errors in the batch and places them into an error file

A

edit run

59
Q

places the transaction file in the same order as the master file using a primary key

A

sort run

60
Q

changes the value of appropriate fields in the master file to reflect the transaction

A

update run

61
Q

the original master continues to exist and a new master file is created

A

backup procedure

62
Q

advantages of batch processing

A

increase efficiency
provides control

63
Q

process transactions individually at the moment the economic event occurs

A

real-time systems

64
Q

have no time lag between the economic event and the processing

A

real time systems

65
Q

generally require greater resources than batch processing since they require dedicated processing capacity; however, these cost differentials are decreasing

A

real time systems

66
Q

have longer systems development time

A

real time systems

67
Q

collection and storage of data, for processing at a scheduled time when a suffucient amount of data has been accumulated

A

batch processing

68
Q

immediate processing of data after the transaction occurs, with the database being updated at the time of the event

A

real time processing

69
Q

is characterized by high-volume, independent transactions, such are recording cash receipts checks received in the mail.

A

AIS processing

70
Q

processing of such high-volume checks can be done during an off-peak computer time.

A

AIS processing
