  • Patent number: 10880228
    Abstract: Automated devices send messages of a first batch sequence individually to a target queue of a receiving node of a cluster of server nodes, the messages having a different sequence number indicative of their relative positions within the batch sequence, and each is associated with a first logic unit of work identifier. In response to determining that a message counter meets a threshold, a force commit packet is generated to include the sequence number of the last batch message sent to the target queue. If the force commit packet sequence number is not the last position number within the batch sequence, a second logic unit of work identifier is associated with a subset sequence of the batch of messages having sequence numbers spanning from the first number to the force commit packet sequence number, and the subset sequence messages are committed to the receiving node target queue.
