Abstract
A method includes establishing, for a transaction processing system, a maximum number of transactions that the transaction processing system can optimally handle at a time, as well as an optimal transaction rate. The method monitors a current number of transactions being processed by the transaction processing system. Incoming transactions that would cause the current number to exceed the maximum number are received into a queue, and transactions are released from the queue in accordance with the optimal transaction rate. The method further monitors a number of transactions waiting in the queue. When the number reaches an upper threshold, the method declines to admit additional transactions into the queue. When the number reaches a lower threshold, the method begins to admit additional transactions into the queue. A corresponding system and computer program product are also disclosed.
