More Information
Summary:The system comprises first and second data processing agents and data storage shared coherently between the both data processing agents to store a message data structure to provide a message channel between them. A further data storage is accessible to both data processing agents to store message channel metadata, which provides message status information for the message channel. The message channel metadata is one of a plurality of message channel metadata types defined for a corresponding plurality of message channel types between the first and second data processing agents, and at least one of the first and second data processing agents is responsive to an initialization trigger to establish the message channel with a selected message channel type. The system may be further arranged to store a message interface data structure, wherein each of the structures defines a plurality of message channels established in the data storage and the further data storage.
