  • CONTROLLING THE STATE OF DUPLEXING OF COUPLING FACILITY STRUCTURES
    Publication number: 20200045108
    Abstract: A coupling facility is coupled to one or more other coupling facilities via one or more peer links. The coupling of the facilities enables various functions to be supported, including the duplexing of structures of the coupling facilities. Duplexing is performed on a structure basis, and thus, a coupling facility may include duplexed structures, as well as non-duplexed or simplexed structures.
    Type: Application

  • Dynamically determining whether to process requests synchronously or asynchronously
    Patent number: 7099935
    Abstract: Heuristics are employed to dynamically determine whether a given request is to be driven synchronously or asynchronously. The average synchronous service time associated with previously processed requests is monitored and used, in real-time, along with other information, to determine whether the given request is to be driven synchronously or asynchronously.

  • Managing processing associated with coupling facility Structures
    Patent number: 7003693
    Abstract: System-managed duplexing of coupling facility structures. A plurality of instances of coupling facility structures are maintained in a plurality of coupling facilities. Duplexing processing associated with the plurality of instances is managed by one or more operating systems, making many of the steps associated with duplexing transparent to the exploiters of the coupling facility structures. System-managed duplexing provides high availability for coupling facility structure data via a robust recovery mechanism (i.e., duplexing failover).
