Online processing environment refers to the execution of a program initiated by a terminal or PC at the user's request. In an online processing environment, the user interacts with the program and receives immediate feedback. This is in contrast to batch processing, where programs are executed automatically without user interaction, and offline processing, where programs are executed on a separate system without direct user interaction. On-demand processing may refer to any type of processing that is initiated by a user's request, but is not a commonly used term.
