ABSTRACT:
High availability event forwarding can be obtained utilizing distributed queues in a server cluster. Each server can receive an event from a data system, such as a database or SAP™ system. Event queues exist on servers in the cluster can store an event until, for example, the event is delivered to a user or retrieved for processing. An event processor examines the load of each event queue and selects the event queue with the lightest load. The event processor generates an alias for the selected queue, such that a user, integration system, or client application does not need to know the identity of the physical queue storing the event, but only needs to refer to the ‘distributed queue’ or alias. After a physical queue is selected and an alias assigned, the event is forwarded to the selected queue.This description is not intended to be a complete description of, or limit the scope of, the invention. Other features, aspects, and objects of the invention can be obtained from a review of the specification, the figures, and the claims.
