Uniform Distributed Destination Configuration for Messaging Clusters
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Heterogeneous distributed destinations are difficult to configure and maintain, leading to administrative and application issues due to inconsistent member configurations, which can result in security restrictions and load balancing problems across a cluster.
Innovation Solution
A uniform distributed destination system that automatically allocates and configures member destinations with consistent parameters, allowing dynamic adjustment to meet changing cluster configurations, and enables automatic creation and deployment of new destinations and Message Driven Beans to match growing configurations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If heterogeneous distributed destinations are configured manually with different capacities and weights, then load balancing can be optimized for each member, but configuration complexity and maintenance difficulty increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies homogeneity by making all member destinations uniform in configuration, capacity, and weight. Instead of allowing heterogeneous destinations with different capacities, the system creates identical destination members across the cluster, eliminating configuration complexity while maintaining functional load balancing through uniform distribution.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal destination template that can be replicated across multiple cluster members. This single uniform destination configuration serves all members identically, providing a universal solution that simplifies management while the cluster as a whole provides load balancing and failover capabilities.
2Reliability
If uniform distributed destinations are deployed across a cluster, then administrative consistency and reliability improve, but flexibility to allocate extra capacity to specific members is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the uniform destination configuration adaptable to changing cluster conditions. When members are added or removed from the cluster, the system dynamically adjusts the distribution of uniform destinations accordingly, maintaining consistency while adapting to new configurations without manual reconfiguration.
3Adaptability or versatility
If manual configuration of physical destinations is required before creating distributed destinations, then individual member customization is possible, but deployment time and operational overhead increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-configuring the uniform destination template with all necessary parameters before deployment. The system prepares the destination configuration in advance, then automatically replicates it across cluster members, eliminating the need for manual configuration of each individual destination and significantly reducing deployment time.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs self-service by automatically creating and configuring member destinations without requiring manual intervention. The uniform destination configuration is automatically replicated and deployed across the cluster, eliminating administrative overhead and deployment time while maintaining consistency.
