Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to multi-source messaging and provide a method, system and computer program product for sequencing multi-source messages for delivery to multiple destinations. In one embodiment, a multi-source message synchronization data processing system can be provided. The system can include a common clock and a message server configured for communicative coupling to a multiple message sources, each message source including a corresponding clock synchronized with the common clock. Multi-source message sequencing logic can be coupled to the message server and can include program code enabled to concatenate different message sequences produced by different ones of the message sources into a unified message sequence based upon timestamps applied by the message sources to messages in respective ones of the message sequences.
