Idempotence Part II

Monday, March 17, 2008 7:46 AM

So since my last post, I have gotten some feedback on this topic that I want to share, and for file based stuff I really like the following idea. Thanks Udi.

If your message source is a flat file consider the path to the file 'C:\file_drops\expert.csv' and the last date of change '12-2-2007' as a way to tag the message so that it won't get processed twice.

Also, my definition of idempotence earlier was a little off, smack!, idempotence just means that the result of processing the message multiple times will be the same as if it were processed just once.
