Abstract

A method and system of tiered quiescing is disclosed. In one embodiment, a method includes generating a representation data of a multi-tier network, embedding a flag marker at a transaction event based on at least of an event data and a timing data, and quiescing, based on the representation data, a set of modules of the multi-tier network associated with at least one of the event data and the timing data using the flag marker. The representation data may be generated based on a transaction modeling of data flows between the set of modules of the multi-tier network (e.g., the set of modules may each operate in different tiers of the multi-tier network). In addition, a series of consistency points may be determined based on the transaction modeling of data flows between the sets of modules of the multi-tier network.
