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.
Claims5
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, by a coupling facility, a first message with respect to the originating operation, the first message being associated with the operation identifier;
- propagating the first message to a second system, the propagating of the first message causing a subsequent operation to be performed by the second system, the subsequent operation being associated with the operation identifier;
- and
- correlating the originating operation and the subsequent operation via the operation identifier.
