Abstract
A system and method for correlating asynchronous operations via an operation identifier comprises receiving an originating operation from a first system that indicates a change in the first system and generating a first message with respect to the originating operation. The first message is associated with the operation identifier. The system and method further propagates the first message to a second system, which causes a subsequent operation being associated with the operation identifier to be performed by the second system, and correlates the originating operation and the subsequent operation via the operation identifier.

A system for correlating asynchronous operations via an operation identifier, comprising:
- a processor and a memory, the processor configured to:
- receive an originating operation from a first system that indicates a change in the first system;
- generate, at a coupling facility, a first message with respect to the originating operation, wherein the first message is associated with the operation identifier;
- propagate the first message to a second system, wherein the propagation of the first message causes a subsequent operation to be performed by the second system, wherein the subsequent operation is associated with the operation identifier;
- and
- correlate the originating operation and the subsequent operation via the operation identifier.
A computer program product, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor to implement a method for correlating asynchronous operations via an operation identifier, the method comprising:
- receiving an originating operation from a first system that indicates a change in the first system;
- generating, at a coupling facility, a first message with respect to the originating operation, wherein the first message is associated with the operation identifier;
- propagating the first message to a second system, wherein the propagation of the first message causes a subsequent operation to be performed by the second system, wherein the subsequent operation is associated with the operation identifier;
- and
- correlating the originating operation and the subsequent operation via the operation identifier.
