Timeout processing for messages
Abstract:
A method for message handling in a work dispatcher computer system that includes a client computer, a dispatch queue and processing nodes. A total time is a sum of a first time value (an estimate of time that a message received from the client computer spends in a dispatch queue, based on an average time that N individual messages previously spent in the dispatch queue) and a second time value (an estimate of a minimum or average time for the message to be processed by the processing nodes). In response to determining that N s at least a specified threshold, it is ascertained whether a defined timeout period is not less than a specified threshold percent of the total time. If so, the message is sent to the dispatch queue and then to one of the processing nodes. If not, a timeout error indication is sent to the client computer.
