Method and system of committing operations of a synchronized transaction
View Patent ↗A method and system for combined commit transaction request and subsequent operation request for committing the operations of a synchronized transaction by one or more applications ( 301, 4001, 501 ) on a resource manager ( 302, 402, 502 ). The method comprises: receiving a combined request ( 310, 410, 510 ) for an operation and a request to commit any outstanding synchronized transaction; committing the outstanding transaction ( 311, 414, 512 ); and processing ( 313, 413, 517 ) the requested operation outside the outstanding transaction. For example, in an asynchronous messaging process, the combined request specifies an option in a get operation request to commit any outstanding units of work prior to carrying out the get operation.
1. A computer-implemented method of committing the operations of a synchronized transaction by one or more applications on a resource manager, comprising:
receiving, within a single combined request, a request for an operation and a request to commit any outstanding synchronized transaction;
committing the outstanding transaction; and
processing the requested operation separately from the committing the outstanding transaction;
wherein the committing transfers the synchronized transaction to await committing with other transactions; and
wherein the resource manager determines when to commit the transaction based on the number of applications with outstanding transactions in process.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the requested operation is processed in a new transaction.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein
upon the committing not being successful, the requested operation is not processed.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein
the request to commit indicates a transaction boundary to the resource manager and transfers the responsibility of when to commit the transaction to the resource manager.
5. A computer-readable tangible medium having stored therein instructions, which, when executed by a computer system, cause the computer system to perform operations comprising:
receiving, within a single combined request, a request for an operation and a request to commit any outstanding synchronized transaction;
committing the outstanding synchronized transaction; and
processing the requested operation upon determining the requested operation separately from the committing the outstanding transaction;
wherein the committing transfers the synchronized transaction to await committing with other transactions;
wherein the resource manager determines when to commit the transaction based on the number of applications with outstanding transactions in process.
6. The computer-readable tangible medium of claim 5 , wherein the requested operation is processed in a new transaction.
7. The computer-readable tangible medium of claim 5 , wherein
upon the committing not being successful, the requested operation is not processed.
8. The computer-readable tangible medium of claim 5 , wherein
the request to commit indicates a transaction boundary to the resource manager and transfers the responsibility of when to commit the transaction to the resource manager.
