Abstract
Switched session management to track and manage sessions executed across multiple machines as a result of a machine failure or other event in an automated and distributed replication system. To track the sessions, the system associates session information with a CacheID, stores the CacheID in the user's machine, and propagates the session information to a remote machine for processing. Machines taking over processing of the user's session can inspect the CacheID to determine whether to locally or remotely obtain the session information for the user.
Claims20
A method for switched session management in an automated and distributed replication system, comprising:
- detecting a session by a user;
- obtaining a machine identifier related to the user;
- selectively obtaining session information for the user based upon the machine identifier;
- and
- selectively processing the session based upon the session information.
An apparatus for switched session management in an automated and distributed replication system, comprising:
- a detect module for detecting a session by a user;
- a machine module for obtaining a machine identifier related to the user;
- a session module for selectively obtaining session information for the user based upon the machine identifier;
- and
- a process module for selectively processing the session based upon the session information.
