A method and technique for link optimization for callout request messages includes monitoring one or more time-based parameters for each of a plurality of links between a communication pipe of a host system and one or more service systems. The links are used to send callout request messages between one or more applications running on the host system and the one or more service systems that process the callout request messages. The one or more time-based parameters are associated with different stages of callout request message processing by the communication pipe and the one or more service systems. The method also includes creating control data based on values of the one or more time-based parameters, creating the callout request messages to include the control data, and distributing the callout request messages to the one or more service systems via the links.

Link optimization for callout request messages

According to embodiments a technique for utilizing an error prediction an avoidance component for a transaction processing system is provided. The technique includes identifying critical functions of the transaction processing system, and collecting usage data. The technique also includes determining a focus area based on the usage data for each of the critical functions, and generating a data message for the focus area, the data message combining internal data and the usage data. The technique includes transmitting the data message to a data processing component (DPC), the data message includes DPC timer information used by the DPC for performing a summarization process, and receiving a summary message from the DPC based on the summarization process performed by the DPC. The technique also includes identifying a summary message focus area from the summary message, and determining a condition of the summary message focus area of the summary message.

Utilizing an error prediction and avoidance component for a transaction processing system

According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a method and technique for link optimization for callout request messages is disclosed. The method includes: monitoring a plurality of different time-based parameters for each of a plurality of links between a communication pipe of a host system and one or more service systems, the links used to send and receive callout request messages between one or more applications running on the host system and the services systems that process the callout request messages, the time-based parameters associated with different stages of callout request message processing by the communication pipe and the service systems; assessing a performance level of each of the plurality of links based on the time-based parameters; and dynamically distributing the callout request messages to select links of the plurality of links based on the performance assessment.

An apparatus and system for an expandable, hinged, multi-panel presentation. The apparatus includes a main rectangular panel, a side rectangular panel, a fastener, and an interior rectangular panel. The interior rectangular panel includes a proximal interior section having a width equal to the width of the side rectangular panel and a distal interior section coupled to the proximal interior section by a vertical hinge. The vertical hinge permits the distal interior section to pivot relative to the proximal interior section. In a first position, the interior rectangular panel displays presentation material on a front display face while overlaying the main rectangular panel and in a second position, the interior rectangular panel pivots and displays presentation material on a back display face while overlaying the side rectangular panel. Beneficially, the apparatus and system displays a greater amount of presentation material without increasing spatial area required for the display system.
