  • Computer program product for dynamically optimized handling of messages received from a message transmission backbone by a data processing system node
    Patent number: 8244893
    Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for handling messages on a message transmission backbone within a distributed data processing system is disclosed. A filter module generates an allowable message types data structure, and stores the allowable message types data structure in a memory. Each entry of the allowable message types data structure includes information for identifying an allowable message type on the basis of one or more message characteristics. A change in a status of a module within a group of loaded programs, which includes multiple data processing software modules, is detected. In response to detecting the change in the status of a module within the group of loaded programs, a corresponding entry within the allowable message types data structure is modified.
    Type: Grant
