  • Utilizing an error prediction and avoidance component for a transaction processing system
    Patent number: 10324778
    Abstract: According to embodiments a technique for utilizing an error prediction an avoidance component for a transaction processing system is provided. The technique includes identifying critical functions of the transaction processing system, and collecting usage data. The technique also includes determining a focus area based on the usage data for each of the critical functions, and generating a data message for the focus area, the data message combining internal data and the usage data. The technique includes transmitting the data message to a data processing component (DPC), the data message includes DPC timer information used by the DPC for performing a summarization process, and receiving a summary message from the DPC based on the summarization process performed by the DPC. The technique also includes identifying a summary message focus area from the summary message, and determining a condition of the summary message focus area of the summary message.
