Method and apparatus to save and resume a session associated with a logical structure

A computer-readable storage medium comprising:

• a first set of instructions, executable by a processor, configured to conduct a session based on a logical structure, wherein
• the logical structure is a pre-defined script for the session, and
• the pre-defined script is loaded into the session from a script definition table stored in a script database in response to a user-defined search request;
• a second set of instructions, executable by the processor, configured to save a run-time state information associated with the session, wherein the saved run-time state information is stored in a storage device;
• a third set of instructions, executable by the processor, configured to store an indication of the location of the saved run-time state information in a script session table stored in the script database, wherein
• the script session table comprises records associated with executed scripts, and
• a record stored in the script session table comprises a script identification of the pre-defined script executed during the session and a user identification of a user executing the script;
• a fourth set of instructions, executable by the processor, configured to include owner information for the session in addition to saving the information associated with the session;
• a fifth set of instructions, executable by the processor, configured to resume the session by restoring at least a portion of the saved run-time state information into a definition of the logical structure, wherein
• the definition of the logical structure is determined from the associated record in the script session table, and
• the saved run-time state information is located from the stored indication of the location of the saved run-time state information stored in the associated record;
• and
• a sixth set of instructions, executable by the processor, configured to transfer ownership of the session prior to resumption of the session by changing the owner information that was included along with the saved information associated with the session.
