Abstract

See full text

A system and method for providing transaction indivisibility in a transaction processing system through the use of commonly-accessible modules for monitoring and maintaining proper source message sequencing is provided. A source message is transmitted from the host processing unit upon recovery of a failure of the host processing unit, where the source message includes information destined for the database, and an identifying sequence number. The identifying sequence number is compared to a stored sequence number, where the stored sequence number is associated with an immediately preceding source message received prior to the failure of the host processing unit. A source message indivisibility failure is indicated where the identifying sequence number is not consecutive with respect to the stored sequence number, while the source message is added to a message execution queue if the identifying sequence number is consecutive with respect to the stored sequence number.
