Abstract
Automatically reformatting rerouted production requests so that a production request directed to one production device can be rerouted to another device with little if any user intervention. A method embodying the present invention includes queuing a production request formatted for a primary production service. Upon detection of a redirection event for the primary production service, an available secondary production service is identified. The production request is reverted and then reformatted specifically for the secondary production service.

In a network of production services, a system for dynamically rerouting and reformatting production requests, comprising:
- a first format service associated with a first production service operable to revert a production request previously formatted for the first production service;
- a second format service associated with a second production service operable to reformat a reverted production request specifically for the second production service;
- and
- a coordinator operable to receive a production request redirected from the first production service to the second production service, to direct the first format service to revert the production request and to direct the second format service to reformat the production request.
1 more element
In a network of at least two production services, a system for dynamically rerouting and reformatting production requests, comprising:
- a queue manager operable, for each production service, to manage a queue, to detect a redirection event for a primary production service, to identify a secondary production service, and to redirect a production request from the queue for the primary production service to a secondary production service;
- a format service associated with each production service, each operable to revert a production request formatted for a production service with which the particular format service is associated and to reformat a reverted production request for the production service with which the particular format service is associated;
- and
- a coordinator operable to direct a format service associated with the primary production service to revert a production request and to direct a format service associated with a secondary production service to reformat the production request.

- a first format service associated with the primary production service operable to revert a production request previously formatted for the primary production service;
- a second format service associated with the secondary production service operable to reformat a reverted production request specifically for the secondary production service;
- and
- a coordinator operable to receive from the queue manager a production request redirected from the primary production service to the secondary production service, to direct the first format service to revert the production request and to direct the second format service to reformat the production request.
