摘要:
Fault-recovery information for transactional operations between computer systems and the outcome of those operations is logged at the originating point of the units of work, such as source-computer systems, which may include client computers in a client/server system. By using these distributed logs of fault-recovery information, a target-computer system, which may include a server computer, can reconstruct the target-computer system's previous interaction with various source-computer systems. Source-computer systems may use a proxy server for logging fault-recovery information to persistent storage. A target-computer system may digitally sign the fault-recovery information it sends to a source-computer system thereby making the fault-recovery information's authenticity verifiable. Similarly, the target-computer system may encrypt the fault-recovery information before sending it to the source-computer system to preserve the privacy of the fault-recovery information.

Briefly, aspects of the subject matter described herein relate to job submission. In aspects, a client (which itself may be a scheduler) sends a request to a scheduler to execute a job. The client may indicate which extensions to a base job submission protocol the client supports. The scheduler may implement a base case protocol and may also implement extensions to the base case. The client and scheduler may communicate information and requests about a job based on extensions both support, if any. The scheduler maintains state information about executing jobs that may include substate information without affecting interoperability with clients that do not recognize substates. A job may be in multiple substates at the same time.
