identifying a contiguous set of data elements previously processed by the transaction processing system, the contiguous set of data elements received by the transaction processing system in an order;
determining, by the processor, a quantity of data elements for each of the portions of times based on the transaction rate of the pattern;
generating, by the processor, the determined quantity of data elements for each of the portions of times using data elements of the contiguous set of data elements such that each portion of the length of time includes the determined quantity of received data elements in the order in which they were received;
