Abstract: Trace commands 302 are inserted in an Extensible Markup Language (XML) message 301. The commands specify fields to be traced and locations for trace output files 330. They also define if the trace is a full trace or a differential trace in which only the fields having changed values are traced. The XML input message is for propagation through one or more products 311 where trace components 321 collect full or differential trace data for the defined fields at each product and store the data to output file 330. The trace commands are trace tags or trace strings at an element level in the XML input message. Trace commands also define a level of detail for recording specified fields, e.g. info or verbose. Traced fields can be customer ID, customer name or purchase amount. Advantages include avoiding learning proprietary trace for every product and simplifying end-TO-end testing across different products.

Abstract: A data processing system comprises a service bus (12) connected between a client (10) and a server (14), the service bus comprising one or more applications (24) arranged to mediate message flow between the client and. the server. A method of operating the data processing system comprises the steps of receiving a message from the client at the service bus, and mediating the message at an application of the service bus, the mediation comprising adding a header to the message. The header defines a source and a condition under which a target can respond directly to the source, the source comprising either the client or an application of the service bus and the target comprising either an application of the service bus or the server. The method further comprises receiving the mediated message at the target, detecting that the condition within the header of the mediated message is satisfied, and transmitting a response directly to the source as defined in the header of the mediated message.

Abstract: Ein Datenverarbeitungssystem weist einen Dienstbus auf, der zwischen einen Client und einen Server geschaltet ist, wobei der Dienstbus eine oder mehrere Anwendungen aufweist, die so angeordnet sind, dass sie einen Nachrichtenfluss zwischen dem Client und dem Server vermitteln. Ein Verfahren zum Betreiben des Datenverarbeitungssystems weist die Schritte des Empfangens einer Nachricht von dem Client in dem Dienstbus und des Vermittelns der Nachricht in einer Anwendung des Dienstbusses auf, wobei die Vermittlung das Hinzufügen von Kopfdaten zu der Nachricht aufweist, wobei die Kopfdaten eine Quelle und eine Bedingung definieren, unter der ein Ziel der Quelle direkt antworten kann, wobei die Quelle entweder den Client oder eine Anwendung des Dienstbusses aufweist und wobei das Ziel entweder eine Anwendung des Dienstbusses oder den Server aufweist. Das Verfahren kann optional des Weiteren aufweisen, die vermittelte Nachricht in dem Ziel zu empfangen, zu erkennen, dass die Bedingung in den Kopfdaten der vermittelten Nachricht erfüllt ist, und eine Antwort direkt an die Quelle zu übertragen, wie dies in den Kopfdaten der vermittelten Nachricht definiert ist.

Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for processing one or more events for use with a complex event processing system. The system comprises a server computer system 220 and a client application executable on a client computer system 205. The system is operable to generate the one or more events. The apparatus comprises a rule management component 230 for analysing content of the one or more events and assigning a plurality of attributes to associated event processing logic, wherein a first attribute is associated with event processing logic that is operable to be applied at the client computer system and a second attribute is associated with event processing logic that is operable to be applied at a server computer system. An event filter component 212, responsive to receiving a first event, for using assigned attributes to determine whether associated event processing logic is operable to be applied at the client computer system 205, and wherein the event filter component 212 is operable to forward the first event to the server computer system 220 if associated event processing logic is not operable to be applied at the client computer system. Furthermore, the event need only be sent to the server computer system 220 if logic criteria are met. Alternatively, if logic criteria are met and if there is no further logic to be applied by the server computer system 220, the client computer system 205 takes no further action. The system has the advantages of less CPU cycles, reducing load on the messaging system and cost benefits to customers. The events are business events.

Abstract: A messaging system comprises a plurality of connected components and includes a schema defining fields for messages, at least one field defined as non-essential. The messaging system collects one or more performance metrics for one or more components of the system, determines that at least one performance metric has crossed a predetermined threshold, and informs one or more components of the system that a surge in workload has occurred. The informed components remove non-essential fields from transmitted messages and/or do not process non-essential fields from received messages. By automatically prioritizing the processing of essential message data, the system is able to cope with surges in workload without the need for large amounts of redundant hardware and with a reduced risk of system overload. The monitored performance metrics may comprise processor utilization, network utilization and/or storage utilization. The step of not processing non-essential fields may comprise not serializing the non-essential fields of a transmitted message.

Abstract: An exemplary embodiment of this disclosure is a method for operating a data processing system, where the data processing system includes a service bus connected between a client and a server. The service bus includes one or more applications configured to mediate message flow between the client and the server. The method includes receiving a message from the client at the service bus, and mediating the message at a message-mediating application of the service bus. The mediation includes adding a header to the message, the header defining a source and a predetermined condition under which a target can respond directly to the source. The source is either the client or an application of the service bus, and the target is either an application of the service bus or the server.

Abstract: A method and system of handling events based on a system workload comprises defining a time constraint attribute in an event rule, the event rule being applied to one or more events, determining if a system is under a predefined level of stress and if it is when processing a received event (301) using the time constraint in the event rule to determine when an event should be carried out. The system may use a flag to indicate a stress condition (302). The time constraint may be set to immediate (303) or to a time period. The event rule may calculate a maximum time delay (305) and store the event with a timer task (306). When the stress flag is removed (307) stored events may be processed in order of their timed delay (309). Event rules may be established through a business user interface.

Abstract: A method for controlling the persistent storage of message data associated with a message oriented middleware system comprises determining 315, via a comparator, whether the message contains common data, and, if so, extracting the common and non-common data 320 for a persistor. The persistor then determines 330 whether the common data has already been saved. If so, then only the non-common data is saved 340; otherwise both common and non-common data are saved 335 separately. The common data may comprise the structure of the message, and may be assigned a unique reference. This allows for reduced data storage and overhead, whilst preserving essential data for reconstruction in the event of a system error.
