 BATCH
AND
ONLINE PROCESSING
1. Real-time Processing
2. Batch Processing
3. Online Processing
 Objectives
1. Define what is data processing
2. Distinguish between online and batch processing
3. Identify how and when the God used/uses online
and batch processing in His dealing with men

A
 ESSENTIAL QUESTION
What methods can I use to effectively
process data/transactions?
 IFL

How does God deal with you and I? In

terms of feedback, actions for or against
us?

Is it instantly or is it sometimes delayed.

 WHAT IS DATA PROCESSING?
Data processing is when raw data is fed into a computer
and then analysed and changed into useful information.
This useful information can be output and used.
 TYPES/DATA-PROCESSING MODES INCLUDE:

1. Batch Processing
2. Online Processing/ Real-time Processing.
 BATCH PROCESSING
This is where a number of similar jobs or tasks are collected
together (batched) and processed by a computer all at once rather
than individually.

They are loaded onto a computer system (in a job queue)

And then processed all at once (in a batch)
BATCH PROCESSING
 BATCH PROCESSING:
1. Producing bills (e.g. electricity, water, gas etc)
2. Payroll
3. Producing monthly credit card statements
4. Processing bank cheques.
5. Marking multiple choice examination papers
EXAMPLE OF BATCH PROCESSING
 ADVANTAGES OF BATCH
PROCESSING:
1. Jobs can be processed without a human present.
2. Long jobs can be left processing overnight when everyone has gone
home.
3. Can be done or processed independently during less-busy times or
at a desired designated time.
4. Ideal for processing large volumes of data/transaction for it
increases efficiency rather than processing each individually.
5. Provides control over the processing transactions – you can make
changes because output is not given immediately
6. Also, allows a good audit trail.
 DISADVANTAGES OF BATCH
PROCESSING:
1. Batched jobs can take a long time to process.
2. Time delay between the collection of data
(transaction receiving) and getting the result (output in
master file) after the batch process.
3. The Master File (The organizations big data) is not
always kept up to date. Data remains old until batch
processing has taken place
 ONLINE/REAL-TIME PROCESSING
Here the systems automatically updates immediately
when a change or transaction is made. This type of
processing is where a user communicates directly with
the computer system, the computer system
automatically updates its data as changes are made
immediately real-time (immediately) so that the
computer responds to inputs without any delays.
 FEATURES OF ONLINE/REAL-TIME PROCESSING:

1. It ensures that the system always contains up-to-

date information.
2. Tend to use sensors rather than human input in
order to obtain its data.
3. Used with control systems where when processing
is complete, the system will send instructions to 'control
devices' telling them what to do.
 ONLINE/REAL-TIME PROCESSING:
1. Booking systems / Ticket reservations (airlines, cinema,
theatre, concerts)
2. ATM's (recalculates how much money is left in the account)
3. Purchasing goods on the Internet (e.g. Amazon recalculates
how many items are left in stock)
4. Warning systems on aircraft
5. Guiding missiles to their target (updates coordinate etc.)
6. Automatic greenhouses
7. Burglar alarms
EXAMPLE
AIRLINE BOOKING EXAMPLE
❑Online booking systems rely on the ability to update files immediately, in order to
prevent double-booking of seats etc
❑There are a number of steps involved: the order of these is important
Steps Include
1. Customer logs on to theatre website and 4. If seats are available, seat numbers and
clicks on required performance price are displayed
2. Enter date & time + number of seats 5. Customer clicks ‘confirm’
3. Seating display: choose seats 6. Seats are now set temporarily in the
theatre database as ‘unavailable’
 ADVANTAGES OF ONLINE/REAL-TIME
PROCESSING:
1. Processing is carried out automatically with no need for human
supervision.
2. Can carry out jobs that humans are unable to (e.g. monitoring radiation).
3. No significant delay in response.
4. It must always be online
5. Information is always up to date thus giving the organization the ability to
take immediate action when responding to an event, issue or scenario in
the shortest possible span of time.
6. Immediate processing, up to date data
7. Files held online, can do ad hoc reports
 DISADVANTAGES OF ONLINE/REAL-TIME
PROCESSING:
1. Needs virus/hacker security (especially for online booking
systems).
2. System failure can cost lives (e.g. faulty airplane warning system)
3. This type of processing is more expensive and complex.
4. Real-time processing is a bit tedious and more difficult for
auditing.
5. Audit trails hard to perform because of very little paperwork, so
harder to check for errors, etc
6. Daily data backups are needed
 HOW TO KNOW WHEN TO USE BATCH OR
ONLINE-REAL-TIME PROCESSING
1. The type and volume of data
2. Scale of the operation: Batch systems suited to processing of huge
amounts of data
3. The time that the data needs to be processed;
4. Whether information needs to be up to date at all times
5. Verify which process is really suited to a certain business.
6. Cost: Real time system more expensive; more complex backup and
recovery procedures required
7. Computer usage: Adv of batch, can process overnight on mainframe
computers

 ASSIGNMENT ON SCHOOLOGY

Jan goes to Francis Fashion to buy a shirt, he decides he want three of the same

for his kids, the bar code gets scanned at the register and the cashier looks at

him disappointed. This is the last one sir. I am so sorry. You are hired by the firm

to upgrade its Information Technology system. Discuss in 100 and 200 words

what type of data processing system this store most likely uses and give

recommendations as you see fit. Show clearly the advantages and disadvantages

to win the management confidence in your suggestions.
