Request de-duplication for enterprise service bus

A computer program product, comprising a computer readable storage device storing a computer readable program code, said computer readable program code comprising an algorithm that when executed by a computer processor of computing system implements a method, said method comprising:

• authenticating, by said computer processor, a user of a system;
• accessing, by said computer processor executing an agent in an enterprise service bus (ESB), said system;
• receiving, by said computer processor executing said agent, a service request for performing service functions, said service request comprising description metadata;
• receiving from a third party vendor, by said computer processor executing said agent, specified data associated with said performing said service functions;
• adding, by said computer processor, said description metadata to said specified data;
• executing, by said computer processor via a call to said third party vendor, said service functions using said specified data;
• generating, by said computer processor, results of said executing, said results comprising a response to said service request;
• receiving, by said computer processor executing said agent, an additional service request for performing additional service functions;
• intercepting, by said computer processor, said additional service request;
• and
• comparing, by said computer processor, said description metadata to all previous service requests stored in a temporary storage system.

A computer system comprising a computer processor coupled to a computer-readable memory unit, said memory unit comprising instructions that when executed by the computer processor implements a method comprising:

• authenticating, by said computer processor, a user of a system;
• accessing, by said computer processor executing an agent in an enterprise service bus (ESB), said system;
• receiving, by said computer processor executing said agent, a service request for performing service functions, said service request comprising description metadata;
• receiving from a third party vendor, by said computer processor executing said agent, specified data associated with said performing said service functions;
• adding, by said computer processor, said description metadata to said specified data;
• executing, by said computer processor via a call to said third party vendor, said service functions using said specified data;
• generating, by said computer processor, results of said executing, said results comprising a response to said service request;
• receiving, by said computer processor executing said agent, an additional service request for performing additional service functions;
• intercepting, by said computer processor, said additional service request;
• and
• comparing, by said computer processor, said description metadata to all previous service requests stored in a temporary storage system.
