Abstract:
1. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a uniqueness assurance assisting program that causes a computer assisting uniqueness assurance by a load sharing apparatus to perform: a message acquiring function to acquire messages, for which a destination server is not determined, received from a terminal apparatus by the load sharing apparatus; a message transferring function to refer to uniqueness assurance information that is stored in a storage apparatus and that indicates a correspondence between a received message and identification information about a session created by a destination server to which the received message should be transferred, and to transfer the received message, for which the destination server is identified by the uniqueness assurance information, among the messages acquired by the message acquiring function, to the destination server; an autonomous load sharing function to select a destination server to which a message that is not transferred by the message transferring function, among the messages acquired by the message acquiring function, should be transferred from multiple servers to transfer the message to the selected destination server; and an information managing function to store new uniqueness assurance information, which is generated for a new session created in the selected destination server, for plural communication protocols in the storage apparatus, wherein the terminal apparatus stores message identification information in a first message and a second message, and transmits the first and second messages via different ones of multiple communication protocols, and wherein the second message is stored after the message transferring function recognizes the message identification information stored in the second message as being the same as the message identification information stored in the first message.
