Estimating the term…
An apparatus and method of passing messages between client systems is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a first client system and a second client system. The first client system assigns a priority to a message and transmits the message to the second client system. The second client system processes the message based on the priority. The apparatus can also include a message server coupled to both the first client system and the second client system and used to transmit the message from the first client system to the second client system. The apparatus can also include a log server, a diagnostics server, or both, which are both coupled to the message server and used to store log data used for archiving and diagnosis.
1:
The message-passing system of claim 1, wherein the first client system is programmed to transmit the message packet to the second client system according to a transport protocol.
The message-passing system of claim 1, wherein the message packet is formatted according to an SGML standard.
The message-passing system of claim 1, further comprising a first message server coupling the first client system to the second client system, the first message server providing a first communication path between the first client system and the second client system.
(canceled)
The message-passing system of claim 1, wherein the semiconductor processing system has an associated parameter, the first client system is programmed to monitor the associated parameter, generate the priority based on the parameter, generate the message packet containing the priority, and transmit the message packet to the second client system.
(canceled)
A method of passing a message packet between a first client system and a second client system, the method comprising:
28-35. (canceled)
The message-passing system of claim 1, wherein the second client system comprises a priority queue structured for processing the message packet in the order based on the priority.
The message-passing system of claim 1, wherein the first client system is programmed to include a tag within the message packet when the priority is above a threshold, thereby indicating the occurrence of a diagnostics event on the first client system, and the message server is programmed to transmit to the diagnostics server all message packets that include the tag.
