  • Heterogeneous two-phase commit test engine
    Patent number: 7792896
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, information processing system, and computer program storage product validate a two-phase commit process. First information is received that indicates a plurality of web services to be tested. Each of the web services are associated with a different resource manager. Second information is received that indicates a plurality of application servers for performing the web services. A global transaction is created that includes a plurality of transactions based on the first information that was received. A two-phase commit process is initiated at one of the application servers for performing the global transaction. After the two-phase commit process has ended, results of the global transaction that include information regarding each of the transactions within the global transaction are displayed.

  • Method, system, and computer product for controlling input message priority
    Publication number: 20060045096
    Abstract: An operating system allows assignment of an input message priority to a particular socket. This priority is used by the operating system to determine what socket's inbound packets get discarded when the server resources are constrained. Sockets of a lower priority than another will have its inbound packets discarded before higher priority sockets. This allows an application to give selected sockets higher inbound message priority over other sockets.
