Data processing with distributed messaging problem determination

摘要

A data processing method of testing a network of data processing units includes steps of sending a test message from an originating data processing unit to a destination data processing unit via an intermediate data processing unit; receiving at the originating data processing unit a channel definition from the intermediate data processing unit, the channel definition defining an action taken at the intermediate data processing unit to determine a next intermediate data processing unit to forward on the test message to; and displaying the channel definition at the originating data processing unit.
