This project is a comprehensive application designed for managing bank processes and customer interactions using sockets for communication. It features secure customer data management, cohort creation, and rollback mechanisms

• Bank Process:

  • Manages customer data with functionalities to open accounts, exit, create cohorts, and delete cohorts.
  • Communicates with customers via UDP sockets.
  • Stores customer data in a CSV file.

• Customer Process:

  • Allows customers to open accounts, perform deposits and withdrawals, transfer money, and handle checkpoints and rollbacks.
  • Communicates with the bank and other peers via UDP sockets.

• Python 3.x

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/your-username/bank-customer-process.git
   cd bank-customer-process

2. Ensure you have the necessary Python packages installed:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Create an initial data.csv file with the required fields if it doesn't exist:

   name,balance,ip_address,port1,port2,cohort,exit_state
   

1. Start the Bank Process:

   python bank_process.py

   • Input a port number between 8500 and 8999 when prompted.

2. Start the Customer Process:

   python customer_process.py

   • Input the IP address and port number of the bank server when prompted.
   • Input unique port numbers for communication with the bank and peers between 8500 and 8999.

• Open Customer:

  open <name> <balance> <ip_address> <port1> <port2>
  

• Exit Customer:

  exit <name>
  

• Create New Cohort:

  new-cohort <name> <number_of_customers>
  

• Delete Cohort:

  delete-cohort <name>
  

• Deposit Money:

  deposit <amount>
  

• Withdraw Money:

  withdrawal <amount>
  

• Transfer Money:

  transfer <amount> <receiver_name>
  

• Lost Transfer Simulation:

  lost-transfer <amount> <receiver_name>
  

• Checkpoint:

  checkpoint
  

• Rollback:

  rollback
  

To exit the application, use the exit command in the customer process. This will close the sockets and end program.
