High availability for event forwarding

A method for high availability event forwarding in an integration system, comprising:

• receiving an event to server in a cluster of servers;
• determining which server in the cluster contains the event queue with the lightest load;
• creating an alias for the event queue with the lightest load;
• and
• forwarding the event to the event queue with the lightest load and assigning the alias to that event queue.

A computer-readable medium, comprising:

• means for receiving an event to server in a cluster of servers;
• means for determining which server in the cluster contains the event queue with the lightest load;
• means for creating an alias for the event queue with the lightest load;
• and
• means for forwarding the event to the event queue with the lightest load and assigning the alias to that event queue.

A computer program product for execution by a server computer for high availability event forwarding in an integration system, comprising:

• computer code for receiving an event to server in a cluster of servers;
• computer code for determining which server in the cluster contains the event queue with the lightest load;
• computer code for creating an alias for the event queue with the lightest load;
• and
• computer code for forwarding the event to the event queue with the lightest load and assigning the alias to that event queue.

A computer system comprising:

• a processor;
• object code executed by said processor, said object code configured to:
• receive an event to server in a cluster of servers;
• determine which server in the cluster contains the event queue with the lightest load;
• create an alias for the event queue with the lightest load;
• and
• forward the event to the event queue with the lightest load and assign the alias to that event queue.

A computer data signal embodied in a transmission medium, comprising:

• a code segment including instructions to receive an event to server in a cluster of servers;
• a code segment including instructions to determine which server in the cluster contains the event queue with the lightest load;
• a code segment including instructions to create an alias for the event queue with the lightest load;
• and
• a code segment including instructions to forward the event to the event queue with the lightest load and assign the alias to that event queue.
