Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A workload manager is operable with a distributed transaction processor having a plurality of processing regions and comprises: a transaction initiator region for initiating a transaction; a transaction router component for routing an initiated transaction to one of the plurality of processing regions; an affinity controller component for restricting transaction routing operations to maintain affinities; the affinity controller component characterised in comprising a unit of work affinity component operable with a resource manager at the one of the plurality of processing regions to activate an affinity responsive to completion of a recoverable data operation at the one of the plurality of processing regions.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of operating a workload manager with a distributed transaction processor having a plurality of regions, comprising: initiating a transaction; routing the initiated transaction to one of the plurality of processing regions; declaring a provisional affinity between a unit of work for the initiated transaction and the processing region to which the initiated transaction is routed; performing, by the processing region to which the initiated transaction is routed, a recoverable data operation; activating, based upon completion of the recoverable data operation, the provisional affinity; wherein the recoverable data operation is a recoverable modification to a resource accessed by the processing region to which the initiated transaction is routed; and routing, prior to the recoverable data operation being perform, a second transaction having a same provisional affinity to an alternative one of the plurality of processing regions.
