Title:
METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR EVALUATING A DATA PROCESSING REQUEST PERFORMED BY DISTRIBUTED PROCESSES
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2000026765
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A database processing request is performed by distributed processes. Each of the distributed processes involved in the task performs some data processing function and includes process identifying information along with a substantive task message to another process. Ultimately, messages along with the identifying information reach a controlling process which then deduces from that identifying information whether all of the messages from all processes involved in the task have completed their part of the task. If it deduces they have, the task is complete.
