Method, system and program product for processing requests

A system comprising:

• a client being configured for:
• queuing a request to be sent over a network;
• transmitting the request;
• receiving an out of order response;
• retransmitting missing requests, in response to the out of order response;
• receiving executed responses in response to the missing requests;
• removing the missing requests from said queuing in response to said receiving executed responses;
• transmitting a response receipt confirmation to the server in response to removing the missing requests from said queuing;
• receiving an executed response;
• removing the request from said queuing in response to said receiving the executed response;
• and transmitting a response receipt confirmation in response to removing the request from said queuing;
• and
• a server being configured for:
• receiving the request;
• queuing a response;
• determining if the request is out of sequence, if the request is out of sequence transmitting an acknowledgment and an out of order response, if the request is in sequence determining if a timeout has occurred, if the timeout has occurred transmitting an acknowledgment and asynchronously transmitting an executed response, in absence of the timeout transmitting the executed response;
• receiving missing requests, in response to the out of order response;
• asynchronously transmitting executed responses;
• receiving the response receipt confirmation;
• removing queued responses to the missing requests;
• receiving the response receipt confirmation for the executed response;
• and removing the request from said queuing in which processing of requests in order of transmission and detection/retransmission of missing requests is enabled.

A non-transitory program storage device readable by a machine tangibly embodying a program of instructions executable by the machine to perform a method for processing requests, comprising:

• computer code for queuing a request to be sent to a server over a network;
• computer code for transmitting the request to the server in which the server determines if a previous executed response to the request was transmitted, if a previous response was transmitted, the server retransmits a corresponding acknowledgement and the previous response, if the request is new, the server queues a response and determines if the request is out of sequence, if the request is out of sequence the server transmits an acknowledgment and an out of order response, if the request is in sequence the server the server determines if a timeout has occurred, if the timeout has occurred the server transmits an acknowledgment and asynchronously transmits an executed response, in absence of the timeout the server transmits the executed response;
• computer code for receiving the corresponding acknowledgement and previous response;
• computer code for removing the request from said queuing in response to said receiving the corresponding acknowledgement and previous response;
• computer code for transmitting a response receipt confirmation to the server in response to removing the request from said queuing in which the server removes a queued response for the request;
• computer code for determining if the server did not respond previously, if the server did not respond previously the server receiving the out of order response;
• computer code for retransmitting missing requests to the server, in response to the out of order response, in which the server asynchronously transmits executed responses;
• computer code for receiving executed responses;
• computer code for removing the missing requests from said queuing in response to said receiving executed responses;
• computer code for transmitting a response receipt confirmation to the server in response to removing the missing requests from said queuing in which the server removes queued responses;
• computer code for receiving the executed response;
• computer code for removing the request from said queuing in response to said receiving the executed response;
• and
• computer code for transmitting a response receipt confirmation to the server in response to removing the request from said queuing in which the server removes the queued response and processing of requests in order of transmission and detection/retransmission of missing requests is enabled.
