High volume and High performance messaging Hub that synchronizes input multi-messages
A program is disclosed that the invented message HUB system satisfies conflicting critical requirements, (1) High volume transaction processing,
(2) Synchronized transaction processing.
1. Background of Invention
Evolutionary changing business environment makes companies to add new front channels to back end systems in mission critical systems. If number of front channels and back end systems are M and N, then the number of interface applications becomes M X N.

Fig.1 M X N Interfaces vs M + N Interfaces
Main functions of messaging HUB system are (1) routing messages, (2) formatting messaging. This function decreases the number of interface applications from M X N to M + N, and enables easy to add front channels and back end systems flexibly (Fig.1).
Mission-critical system requires high performance to process huge number of transactions. In case of simple transactions, clustering method makes Messaging HUB system scalable. But there are not simple transactions, for example transactions that are waiting for other related transactions. In this article we call these kind of transactions "synchronized transactions" . Synchronized transactions consume the resources of message HUB system, these resource consumption makes high volume transaction processing slower than simple transaction case.
2. Invented HUB system
Our invention is dividing messaging HUB systems into two subsystems, one is the main HUB system,

When main HUB system receives synchronized transaction, it immediately sends the transaction to synchronizing HUB system without data processing and comes back to high volume transaction processing machine.
