Abstract

Aspects of the present invention disclose a method, computer program product, and system for prioritization of lock allocation. The method includes one or more computer processors receiving a first message in a queue of messages. The method further includes one or more computer processors determining whether the received first message is related to one or more messages in the queue. The method further includes one or more computer processors responsive to determining that the first message is related to one or more messages in the queue, assigning a priority value to the first message. The method further includes one or more computer processors assigning a priority order to the first message, wherein the priority order indicates a position in which the first message is granted access to a resource lock.

Claims17

Dependent claims

A method comprising:

receiving, by one or more computer processors, a first message in a queue of messages;
determining, by one or more computer processors, whether the received first message is related to one or more messages in the queue;
responsive to determining that the first message is related to one or more messages in the queue, assigning, by one or more computer processors, a priority value to the first message;
assigning, by one or more computer processors, a priority order to the first message, wherein the priority order indicates a position in which the first message is granted access to a resource lock;
receiving, by one or more computer processors, an error message;
determining, by one or more computer processors, whether the error message is related to one or more messages in the queue;
responsive to determining that the error message is related to one or more messages in the queue, assigning, by one or more computer processors, the error message a higher priority value than the related one or more messages in the queue;
and
reordering, by one or more computer processors, the messages in the queue so that the error message is in the first position ahead of related one or more message.

6 more elements

A computer program product comprising:

one or more computer readable storage media and program instructions stored on the one or more computer readable storage media, the program instructions comprising:
program instructions to receive a first message in a queue of messages;
program instructions to determine whether the received first message is related to one or more messages in the queue;
program instructions to, responsive to determining that the first message is related to one or more messages in the queue, assigning a priority value to the first message;
program instructions to assign a priority order to the first message, wherein the priority order indicates a position in which the first message is granted access to a resource lock;
program instructions to receive an error message;
program instructions to determine whether the error message is related to one or more messages in the queue;
program instructions to, responsive to determining that the error message is related to one or more messages in the queue, assigning the error message a higher priority value than the related one or more messages in the queue;
and
program instructions to reorder the messages in the queue so that the error message is in the first position ahead of related one or more messages.

7 more elements

A computer system comprising:

one or more computer processors;
one or more computer-readable storage media;
program instructions stored on the computer-readable storage media for execution by at least one of the one or more processors, the program instructions comprising:
program instructions to receive a first message in a queue of messages;
program instructions to determine whether the received first message is related to one or more messages in the queue;
program instructions to, responsive to determining that the first message is related to one or more messages in the queue, assigning a priority value to the first message;
program instructions to assign a priority order to the first message, wherein the priority order indicates a position in which the first message is granted access to a resource lock;
program instructions to receive an error message;
program instructions to determine whether the error message is related to one or more messages in the queue;
program instructions to, responsive to determining that the error message is related to one or more messages in the queue, assigning the error message a higher priority value than the related one or more messages in the queue;
and
program instructions to reorder the messages in the queue so that the error message is in the first position ahead of related one or more messages.
