Abstract

A method and system for routing channels in which messages are transmitted from a source application to a destination application. The system includes a finite-state machine, source message queues, and a source queue manager for managing the source message queues. The source message queues include a transmission queue for holding a first message for subsequent transmission of the first message from the transmission queue over a first channel to a local queue of the destination application. The method includes: activating the finite-state machine; and performing or not performing a channel routing action, by the finite-state machine, depending on: a channel event having caused the first channel to be started or stopped, a channel sender set for the first channel, and an event type characterizing the channel event as normal or abnormal. The channel routing action is a function of the channel event, the channel sender, and the event type.
