Patent ID: 7818750

Claim:
A method for controlling data set processing software modules wherein processing of data sets is performed in a plurality of series connected and parallel connected software modules and wherein in at least a first and second parallel connected software module information about the respective number of data sets processed by the respective software module is collected, and, as soon as the respective data sets have been processed by the respective software module, is signalized to a control system, and the control system compares the numbers of data sets signalized by the first and second parallel connected software modules, respectively and stops the subsequent processing of the data sets in a software module subsequent to the first and second software modules providently if the exceeding of a predetermined admissible maximum deviation was detected between the number of data sets signalized by the first software module and the number of data sets signalized by the second software module, wherein in the software modules of a processing section, a key figure, in particular a sum, created by a bank is determined and signalized to the control system and that the admissible maximum deviation is related to this key figure, in particular a sum.
