  • CORRELATING MULTIPLE DISJOINT EVENTS VIA AN OPERATION IDENTIFIER
    Publication number: 20160103725
    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.
