In the online transaction system that restarts by doing so, when the online recovery message notified from the host when the online restart is received, the terminal control device creates and sends the terminal processed serial number inquiry message on behalf of the subordinate terminal, In this method, the terminal-processed serial number data notified by the host is notified to the terminal.

[Industrial applications]

The present invention relates to improvement of a restarting method of an online trading system.

In online trading systems such as banking systems,
When the interrupted online is resumed, it is necessary to confirm whether the transaction data entered in the terminal was processed by the host due to the interruption and restart the transaction processing, and the operator should confirm the terminal processed serial number issued last by the host. The slip finally issued at the terminal is collated with the terminal processed serial number.

However, in the past, the operator inquired of the terminal processed serial number to the host by operating the terminal, so that there was a problem that the operation of the operator became complicated.

For this reason, there is a demand for a restarting system that automatically notifies the terminal of the terminal-processed serial number at the time of online recovery.

[Conventional technology]

 FIG. 3 is a block diagram of a banking system.

In the figure, 1 is a host, which is a financial terminal (terminal device, hereinafter referred to as terminal)
Master file 2 based on the transaction data sent from 4
A predetermined transaction process such as updating the transaction amount and responding to the terminal 4 with the processed transaction data such as the deposit amount and the balance and the terminal processed serial number data 40. Reference numeral 5 is a terminal table for each terminal 4. The terminal processed serial number data 40 is issued to and recorded in, for example, a counter configured to count up when the transaction processing is completed, 3 is a terminal control for connecting a plurality of terminals 4 and the host 1 online An apparatus, 4 is a financial terminal (terminal), which is operated by an operator like a counter terminal and performs online transaction processing with the host 1. The terminal control device 3 and a plurality of terminals 4 are arranged in a branch office. To be done.

In the above banking system, when transaction data such as deposits and payments is input to the terminal 4 by the operator and transmitted to the host 1, the host 1 executes predetermined processing and then updates the terminal processed serial number data 40 of the terminal table 5. Then, the terminal processed serial number data 40 is returned to the terminal 4 together with the transaction result.

The terminal 4 prints and issues the terminal processed serial number data 40 as an authentication number 61 together with the transaction result on the transaction slip 60.

Data exchange between the host 1 and the terminal 4 is performed by a one-question-answer inquiry process (Inquiry; INQ).
If the online is interrupted during the life of the host during transaction inquiry,
It is unknown to the operator whether the master file 2 has been updated.

Therefore, when the online is restored and the transaction processing is restarted, the terminal processed serial number data 40 is inquired to the host 1 by the terminal operation, and the final processed terminal processed serial number data 40 and the last issued transaction slip are notified. Certification number printed on 60
Compare with 61. As a result, for example, if the notified terminal-processed serial number data 40 is not updated from the authentication number 61, the transaction data at the time of interruption is re-entered, and if it is updated, the transaction slip that was being processed is entered. Transaction processing is resumed by issuing.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

The method of inquiring the terminal-processed serial number by the operator's operation of the terminal at the time of online restoration has a problem that the operator is burdened.

For this reason, a method is conceivable in which the host retrieves all terminal-processed serial number data at the time of online restoration and sends it to the transaction terminal, but the load on the host temporarily increases.
