Method for ensuring client access to messages from a server
First Claim
1. A method for ensuring client access to unpaired messages from a database management system (DBMS) server, comprising:
- the DBMS server determining that a transaction response message is in response to a communication disruption between a client and the DBMS server, the DBMS server storing the unpaired message in an unpaired message queue, the unpaired message corresponding to a specific client, the transaction response message associated with a transaction request;
creating the unpaired message queue in a DBMS server separate from a paired message queue in response to determining a transaction response message is an unpaired message, the unpaired message queue configured to store a plurality of unpaired messages intended for the client, the unpaired message queue and paired message queue storing messages according to a First-In-First-Out protocol; and
communicating transaction requests and transaction responses using an Open Transaction Manager Access (OTMA) protocol which allows the client to request at least one unpaired message stored in the unpaired message queue.

Abstract
The present invention is a method for ensuring client access to paired and unpaired response messages. In the method, the server detects one or more unpaired message which are stored in a data structure on the server. The data structure may be created when the server is started or automatically when the first unpaired message is identified. The method then uses a communications protocol between the client and server which allows the client to request one or more of the stored unpaired messages. The present invention uses a request module configured to receive a client request and prepare the client request for a response generator. The response generator receives the client request from the request module and generates an appropriate response. Next, an unpaired message module analyzes the response message generated by the response generator and distinguishes a paired message from an unpaired message. Then, the unpaired message module stores paired messages in an unpaired response data structure. Finally, a response module communicates paired and unpaired messages to the client.
