  • Patent number: 11956309
    Abstract: A method for intermediary client reconnection to a preferred server in a high availability server cluster. The method includes monitoring a persistent connection of a logical connection to a preferred server to identify an unavailability of the preferred server, establishing a temporary persistent connection for the logical connection to an available server to replace an unavailable preferred server, prompting attempts to reconnect to the preferred server at intervals, and providing a connection switching pool and simultaneously re-establishing a persistent connection with the preferred server for the logical connection using the connection switching pool while terminating the temporary persistent connection to the available server. The connection switching pool and a main connection pool used by the persistent connection allow for simultaneously maintaining two connections to different servers in a same server cluster for the logical connection.

  • Patent number: 11755457
    Abstract: Aspects of the invention include receiving requests to be executed by a processing system, and receiving first stakeholder token from first monitoring agent and second stakeholder token from second monitoring agent, first and second stakeholder tokens being indicators to track at least one of the requests through the processing system. A tracking token is built for tracking at least one of the requests through the processing system, tracking token having a format acceptable by protocols of the processing system, tracking token including first and second stakeholder tokens and a unique correlator. Requests are transmitted to the processing system, where the tracking token is associated with at least one of requests in the processing system. Access is enabled to tracking information generated by the processing system associated with requests for the first monitoring agent based on first stakeholder token and for the second monitoring agent based on second stakeholder token.
