Filed:

May 8, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/141040

Inventors:

David A. Elko - Austin TX
Steven N. Goss - Kingston NY
Michael J. Jordan - Hurley NY
Jeffrey M. Nick - West Park NY
Douglas Westcott - Rhinebeck NY
Wendell W. Wilkinson - Hyde Park NY

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G06F 1100

US Classification:

714 47, 709240

Abstract:

A coupling facility is coupled to one or more other coupling facilities via one or more peer links. The coupling of the facilities enables various functions to be supported, including the duplexing of structures of the coupling facilities. Duplexing is performed on a structure basis, and thus, a coupling facility may include duplexed structures, as well as non-duplexed or simplexed structures.

Abstract:

A method for providing a message-time-ordering facility is disclosed. The method comprises initiating the message-timer ordering facility for a message at a sender system. Initiating includes setting a delay variable to zero. The message is sent to a receiver system in response to initiating the message-time-ordering facility. Sending the message includes marking the message with a first departure time-stamp responsive to a sender system clock and transmitting the message to the receiver system. The message is received at the at the receiver system, receiving includes delaying the processing of the message until the time on a receiver system clock is greater than the first departure time-stamp and recording a time associated with the delaying the processing of the message in the delay variable. A response to the message is sent to the sender system in response to receiving the message. Sending the response includes marking the response with a second departure time-stamp responsive to the receiver system clock if the delay variable is equal to zero and transmitting the response to the sender system.
