The development of distributed database systems has given rise to the transfer of data from one connected terminal to another. During the transmission of the data among various connected terminals, data can be corrupted, infrastructures can fail, hardware can malfunction and network can disconnect; all of these can cause failure in data transmission. This research focuses on Transaction Processing Monitor (TPM) on a real-time database and the standard middleware applications it provides for use in different e-commerce systems from large enterprises to medium and small businesses available on the internet to monitor the transfer of data between multiple terminals. The researchers reviewed many articles that provided detailed information on TPM because of the significant growth and popularity that it has gained. The paper also reviewed various concepts of Transaction Processing Monitors on real-time databases, different areas of TPM functionalities and transactional properties as well as the architectures of Transaction Processing Monitors. This paper also recommended high-end benchmark platform for Transaction Processing Monitor which is very vital to meet the high performance needs of online transactions and to determine their operational status either for success or failure.
