11,327,955 - Mixed-mode method for combining active/active and validation architectures utilizing remediation action
Abstract:A method is provided for performing transaction processing in a system that includes a plurality of nodes. Each of the nodes include a processor, an application executing in the processor, and an instance of a database used by the application. Each node executes transactions. At least two of the nodes are selected to receive the same request to process a transaction, and the processor at each of the at least two nodes executes the same request to process a transaction. Each of the at least two nodes replicates the steps and operations of the transactions to one or more other nodes in the system. The processor at the one or more other nodes compares the replicated steps and operations of the transactions that were received from each of the at least two nodes and executes one or more remediation actions when the result of the comparison indicates that the replicated steps and operations of the replicated transactions do not match each other.
