Abstract
A method, apparatus and program product for performing a disruptive recovery in a data processing system including establishing an upper limit of delay that may be taken before starting a recovery process and establishing a set time for stalling. A first event for which a recovery process is normally started is then received and the start of the recovery process is stalled for the set time for stalling after receipt of the first event. Events subsequent to the first event are received until either the time between the receipt of successive events exceeds the set time for stalling, or until the upper limit of delay between the receipt of the first event and the receipt of the last received event is exceeded. After the time limit is exceeded, the recovery process is performed and the operation is started over with the receipt of a new first event.
