  • Debugging a transaction in a replica execution environment
    Patent number: 10599556
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for debugging a transaction includes receiving a transaction in a transaction management system, where the transaction management system includes one or more message-processing regions (MPRs). A request to debug the transaction is identified. A debug session for the transaction is isolated from the one or more MPRs, by a computer processor, and this isolation is responsive to identifying the request to debug the transaction. Performing the isolation includes identifying a first MPR of the one or more MPRs, and deploying a replica MPR having an execution environment copied from the first MPR. Performing the isolation further includes invoking, inside the replica MPR, a debug-specific application program configured to perform the transaction.
