A system for reliable message delivery includes a storage unit configured to store a message, and a message stored in the storage unit, wherein the message is persisted in the storage unit. The system also includes a status information associated with the message, the status information capable of indicating a first status. The system further includes a module coupled to the storage unit. The module is operable to execute on a computer and transmit the message to a second computer. The module is also operable to receive an acknowledgement from the second computer, and, in response to receiving the acknowledgement, the module is operable to indicate a second status in the status information. A method for providing reliable message delivery includes providing a storage unit configured to store a message and a message stored in the storage unit, wherein the message is persisted in the storage unit. The method also includes providing a record corresponding to the message, wherein the record is operable to store status information for the message. The method further includes storing a first status in the record, transmitting the message to a destination, and, in response to receiving an acknowledgement from the destination, storing a second status in the record.

System and method for reliable message delivery

A representative implementation of a method begins when a planner captures assumptions about products and components in an entity called a 'scenario.' A scenario is the parameterization of all the demand, financial, and operational information for a portfolio of products and components across a set of time buckets (planning periods). The planner then specifies a component plan to be analyzed, which identifies the quantities of each resource that will be used or procured during each planning period. A request for analysis includes one or more analysis parameters that will be used in order to evaluate the performance and the risks associated with the component plan and scenario. The request for analysis is submitted to an analysis engine for calculation of risk indicators. The analytical engine calculates all the performance indicators and returns the results. The results are then typically stored in a database or other persistent storage system.
