Computer-implemented methods, systems, and computer program products for autonomic recovery of messages
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for providing autonomic recovery of messages, comprising:
- creating a temporary file for a communication session, the temporary file accessible to a messaging client, and the temporary file identifying a communication partner to the communication session, via the messaging client, and a start time of the communication session, the communication session is implemented via one of an instant messaging application and a text messaging application;
monitoring the communication session;
defining a triggering event and actions to be taken in response to the triggering event via user-configurable settings, the actions to be taken including a message-based action, the message-based action selectable as one of a plurality of message-based actions including saving all messages for the communication session, saving selected messages for the communication session, and saving no messages for the communication session;
upon the occurrence of the triggering eventlogging the time of the triggering event in the temporary file;
logging the time of any messages received after the time of the triggering event; and
storing the messages in the temporary file; and
presenting the messages in response to initiation of another communication session with the communication partner, the other communication session implemented via corresponding one of the instant messaging application and the text messaging application;
wherein the user-configurable settings specify an action to be taken for received but unread messages for the communication session.

Abstract
Computer-implemented methods, systems, and computer program products for autonomic recovery of messages are provided. A computer-implemented method includes creating a temporary file for a communication session. The temporary file identifies a communication partner to the communication session and a start time of the communication session. The computer-implemented method also includes monitoring the communication session. Upon the occurrence of a triggering event, the computer-implemented method includes logging the time of the triggering event in the temporary file, logging the time of any messages received after the time of the triggering event, and storing the messages in the temporary file. The computer-implemented method further includes presenting the messages in response to initiation of another communication session with the communication partner.
