1. A method for routing messages in a multi-node processing system including multiple interconnected application nodes, the method comprising:

  • transmitting input from an originating entity to a first one of the application nodes, the input including a command and also including routing information identifying multiple of the application nodes, the originating entity having associated security credentials;

    the first node receiving the input and in response, a synchronously transmitting messages to all identified application nodes to log-in to those nodes using the originating entity'"'"'s security credentials and request each of the identified nodes to execute the command;

    the identified application nodes receiving the transmitted messages, and in response, each of the identified application nodes reviewing the security credentials to determine whether the log-in is permitted, and if the log-in is not permitted, aborting execution of the command;

    if the log-in is permitted, permitting the first node to log-in and request execution of the command, and in response to the request to execute the command, the identified application node executing the command;

    sending the first node a response representing outcome of the execution of the command; and

    in response to the first application node receiving any responses from the identified application nodes, the first application node organizing the responses and providing a representative output.
