Processing a batched unit of work

A computer program product for processing a batched unit of work associated with a plurality of messages for storing, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage device having computer readable program code embodied therewith, the computer readable program code comprising:

• computer readable program code configured to record a backout count associated with a number of instances that each message in the batched unit of work is backed out;
• computer readable program code configured to set a backout count threshold associated with said backout count;
• computer readable program code configured to set a commit count associated with committing the batched unit of work in response to successful commits for a predefined number of the plurality of messages;
• computer readable program code configured to check whether the backout count for each said message is greater than the backout count threshold;
• in response to the backout count corresponding to each message being greater than the backout count threshold, computer readable program code configured to place each said message on a failure queue and get another message;
• in response to the backout count corresponding to each message being less than the backout count threshold, computer readable program code configured to place each said message on an output queue;
• in response to placing each said message on an output queue, computer readable program code configured to check whether the backout count is greater than zero and less than the backout count threshold;
• and
• computer readable program code configured to override the commit count, responsive to the backout count being greater than zero and less than the backout count threshold for each said message, and to commit each said message as a separate unit of work.
