Abstract
A computer receives a heartbeat message that includes both program reset information and at least one segment, of the heartbeat message, that is configured to indicate whether or not a first program is functioning correctly. The computer determines if the heartbeat message includes the indication that the first program is functioning correctly. If the computer determines that the heartbeat message indicates that the first program is functioning correctly, then the computer sends a data stream to the first program.
