System and method for automated recovery of data in a batch processing system

摘要

A system and method for automatic recovery of a unit of work in a batch processing system is disclosed. Generally, a unit of work is placed in a todo queue to store the unit of work for processing. Access to the unit of work is provided to a data structure for processing and the unit of work is moved from the todo queue to an in-progress queue. An error is detected in the processing of the unit of work and a retry count of the unit of work is compared to a maximum retry count of the unit of work. Finally, the unit of work is moved to the todo queue for re-processing or to a failed queue for further analysis based on the comparison of the retry count to the maximum retry count.
