Latest Patents
One of McRobert's latest patents is titled "Issuing syncpoints during execution of a batch application to minimize or eliminate periods of record unavailability due to batch related record locking." This invention presents a solution that automatically decomposes a batch process into multiple units of work without altering the code of a pre-existing batch application. The process involves analyzing the batch application to identify processing segments, allowing for the execution of these units one at a time. Syncpoints are established for each unit before execution, locking the necessary records and ensuring minimal interference with other data accesses.
Another significant patent by McRobert is "Recovery and restart of a batch application." This method involves executing a batch application by reading inputs from data files and performing updates on records. Syncpoints are issued upon completion of updates, and in the event of a failure, the batch application can be restarted from the last issued checkpoint, ensuring data integrity and continuity.
