Application Control Management System


Application Control Management System is a transaction processing monitor software system from HP for computers running the OpenVMS operating system.
ACMS was developed by Digital Equipment Corporation in the early 1980s as part of an effort to gain market share in commercial applications. ACMS was originally released in 1984 as part of the integrated VAX Information Architecture product set along with Rdb, DBMS, TDMS, DECforms, CDD, and Datatrieve. ACMS pioneered many transactional RPC and abstraction concepts, and remains a popular TP monitor for the HP OpenVMS environment.
