In addition to Transaction Manager, the Postilion installation includes a number of base components and services, such as the File Merge Manager, the Field Support Module, the Postilion Housekeeper and Hardware Security Module. Together they constitute the Core Postilion installation.
Various consoles access the database.
The Postilion Management Console provides centralized access to the consoles of the Postilion system. Configuration Consoles are used to configure the different components of the Postilion system. Monitoring Consoles provide real-time graphical displays of the status of the system at any time. Query Consoles are used to extract and report on data from the database, providing answers to detailed queries of transactions performed on the system. Interfaces support various types of external communications protocols.
