Patent attributes
Various embodiments of the present technology generally relate to automated tools for tracking, recording, restoring and auditing transactions. In accordance with various embodiments, applications and servers can provide a variety of features including, but not limited to, behind the scene monitoring activity (transaction or business) and recording, persisting client activity, ubiquitous autosave, business workflow and approval lifecycles, error correction at the business level, management of the state of the transaction without the user having to manage the activity, tracking posted and unposted transactions (e.g., business state), and the like. The applications can communicate with a unified transaction engine that combines awareness of database transaction state along with business transaction states. As a result, the end-user and/or developer do not have to be concerned about the underlying differences between the database transaction state and business transaction states, and can focus on where their transaction is in its lifecycle.
