Cross-domain triggers for executing data operations across data domains

Abstract

A system and methods are provided for executing data operations across data domain boundaries without sharing a domain's data outside of the domain. A coordinator computer, module, or mechanism receives a trigger (or other automated process) and logically divides it into multiple fragments, each fragment corresponding to one domain and comprising data operations that require access to the corresponding domain's data. When the trigger is activated, the coordinator calls or invokes trigger engines within each domain to execute, in order, each fragments' data operations and receive an indication as to whether they completed successfully. A following fragment and its data operations may not be invoked unless and until the preceding fragments operations succeeded. If all fragments' data operations along a path from a root of the trigger to an end of the trigger complete successfully, one or more associated actions are executed.
