Abstract
A method, apparatus and computer program product to operate a device to access data remotely is described. The processing method includes connecting to a remote data source and transmitting data requests to a remote data source. The device receives responses to the data requests, the responses include data and a flag indicating a status of store, reset or ignore with respect to the respective data request. The device stores the data request in an ordered record when the respective flag is indicating a status of store or reset. Storing a data request in the ordered record may further comprise storing in the record the respective flag, when the respective flag is indicating a status of reset.
Claims18
A computer-implemented method of operating a device comprising:
- connecting to a remote data source,
- transmitting a data request to the remote data source,
- receiving a response to the data request, the response comprising data and a flag indicating a status with respect to the data request, and
- storing the data request in an ordered record when the respective flag indicates a status of reset.
A device comprising:
- a communication component operable to connect to a remote data source, to transmit a data request to the remote data source, and to receive a response to the data request, the response comprising data and a flag indicating a status of store, reset or ignore with respect to the data request,
- a processor operable to create an ordered record in which is stored a data request when the respective flag is indicates a status of reset, and
- a storage component operable to store the ordered record.
A computer program product on a computer readable medium for operating a device, the product comprising instructions for:
- connecting to a remote data source,
- transmitting a data request to the remote data source,
- receiving a response to the data request, the response comprising data and a flag indicating a status of store, reset or ignore with respect to the data request, and
- storing the data request in an ordered record when the respective flag indicates a status of reset.
A computer-implemented method of operating a server comprising:
- connecting to a remote device,
- receiving a data request from the device, and
- transmitting a response to the data request, the response comprising data and a flag indicating a status of store, reset or ignore with respect to the data request.
A server comprising a communication component operable to connect to a remote device, to receive a data request from the device, and to transmit a response to the data request, the response comprising data and a flag indicating a status of store, reset or ignore with respect to the data request.
A computer program product on a computer readable medium for operating a server, the product comprising instructions for:
- connecting to a remote device,
- receiving a data request from the device, and
- transmitting a response to the data request, the response comprising data and a flag indicating a status of store, reset or ignore with respect to the data request.
