A method, computer program product, and computer system are provided. An adjunct processor receives an indication to reset a message queue. The reset removes all messages from the message queue on the adjunct processor. The reset is in response to a hardware failure or an external manual operation. An operation to enqueue a message to the message queue is received. Based on completing a successful enqueue operation, the adjunct processor sets a status that includes an indication that the enqueue operation is a first operation following the reset. A requestor receives the indication of the first operation. Based on the internal count of pending messages being greater than one, the requestor requeues to the adjunct processor, the message requests, except for the first message, having outstanding replies, and resets the indication of the first enqueue operation upon the requeuing of the message requests being complete.

In some examples, a device includes a processor, a core hardware logic to execute instructions to perform a task in the device, and a controller separate from the processor. The controller detects corruption of the instructions, and in response to detecting the corruption, load a recovery code to the core hardware logic to trigger recovery of the core hardware logic from the corruption of the instructions.

Examples include a ticketing system for managing performance of computer services. The ticketing system includes a ticket database to store a plurality of tickets, each ticket defining a job to be performed on a computing system, and a master to create a ticket, store the ticket in the ticket database, and update the ticket. The ticketing system includes a scheduler to determine whether to create the ticket based at least in part on a set of conditions, and to request the master to create the ticket when the ticket is to be created, and a worker to get the ticket from the master, perform the job defined by the ticket, and request the master to update the ticket with a status of the ticket. The ticketing system includes a supervisor to request the master to find a stale ticket, and, if found, to request the worker to abort performance of the job defined by the stale ticket.

In an example embodiment, information about one or more failed payment attempts via an electronic payment processing system is obtained. One or more features are extracted from the information. Then, for each of a plurality of potential candidate retry time points, the one or more features and the potential candidate retry time point are fed into a dunning model, the dunning model trained via a machine-learning algorithm to produce a dunning score indicative of a likelihood that a retry attempt at an input retry time point will result in a successful payment processing. The dunning scores for the plurality of potential candidate retry time points are used to select a desired retry time point. Then the electronic payment processing system is caused to attempt to reprocess a payment associated with one of the failed payment attempts at a time matching the desired retry time point.

An apparatus and method are described for detecting and correcting data fetch errors within a processor core. For example, one embodiment of an instruction processing apparatus for detecting and recovering from data fetch errors comprises: at least one processor core having a plurality of instruction processing stages including a data fetch stage and a retirement stage; and error processing logic in communication with the processing stages to perform the operations of: detecting an error associated with data in response to a data fetch operation performed by the data fetch stage; and responsively performing one or more operations to ensure that the error does not corrupt an architectural state of the processor core within the retirement stage.

Aspects described herein may relate to a transaction exchange platform using a streaming data platform (SDP) and microservices to process transactions according to review and approval workflows. The transaction exchange platform may receive transactions from origination sources, which may be added to the SDP as transaction objects. Microservices on the transaction exchange platform may interact with the transaction objects based on configured workflows associated with the transactions. Processing on the transaction exchange platform may facilitate clearing and settlement of transactions. Some aspects may provide for dynamic and flexible reconfiguration of workflows and/or microservices. Other aspects may provide for data snapshots and workflow tracking, allowing for monitoring, quality control, and auditability of transactions on the transaction exchange platform.

Techniques are disclosed relating to automated operations management. In various embodiments, a computer system accesses operational information that defines commands for an operational scenario and accesses blueprints that describe operational entities in a target computer environment related to the operational scenario. The computer system implements the operational scenario for the target computer environment. The implementing may include executing a hierarchy of controller modules that include an orchestrator controller module at top level of the hierarchy that is executable to carry out the commands by issuing instructions to controller modules at a next level. The controller modules may be executable to manage the operational entities according to the blueprints to complete the operational scenario. In various embodiments, the computer system includes additional features such as an application programming interface (API), a remote routing engine, a workflow engine, a reasoning engine, a security engine, and a testing engine.

Techniques are disclosed for executing a data processing pipeline. The techniques may include receiving a job at a data pipeline queue, setting up one or more distributed processing environments, and allocating the job to one of the distributed processing environments. The techniques may further include receiving the allocated job at a job queue within the distributed processing environment, increasing a priority level of the job, and executing the job within the distributed processing environment. The techniques can further include providing a retry pipeline at the data processing pipeline, and re-executing the job at a stage following a failure of at least one of its components. The techniques may decrement the retry budget as the job is re-executed.
