Abstract
The system, products, and methods disclosed herein relate to an improved configuration for geographically dispersed data restart (“GDDR”) systems. Specifically, the teachings herein ensure a particular GDDR instance does not react to messages issued from address spaces outside of its affinity group. We use the term message “affinity group” to mean the combination of a particular GDDR instance and its set of Mainframe Enablers started tasks. By ensuring that the particular GDDR instance does not react to messages intended for recipients outside of its affinity group, we improve computer functionality and efficiency by facilitating further partitioning of the logical partition. Once the logical partition is further partitioned into additional address spaces, it is possible to run Mainframe Enablers and/or additional GDDR instances independent of the particular GDDR instance of concern.
