Nested transaction

Abstract: A distributed transaction is traced to determine how it is handled by applications which process the distributed transaction at least in part without threads. To trace the transaction, the business transaction may be named based on the application framework that handles the transaction. The tracing occurs in application frameworks which do not include multiple threads for handling transactions, such as for example a PHP application framework. The present technology may detect the framework and framework calls, and then generate a name for a business transaction based on the detected information. The business transaction may then be named based on the loaded application framework.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a computer-based method for logging transaction-tax-related transactions, the method using rules which define, depending on transaction data, what transactions have to be logged, the method comprising: receiving a logging request for a transaction; evaluating the logging rules with transaction data of said transaction, logging said transaction if the result of the evaluation demands it. The invention is also directed to related software modules and a related software application.

Abstract: The article focuses on two problems in the measurement of integration with transaction data. The first is the analysis procedure by which the transaction data are summarized. Different procedures affect the data in such different ways that they can actually lead to contradictory conclusions about the progress of integration. This article spells out some of the major differences in the models of analysis. The second problem is validity of transaction data as measures of integration. There are numerous different conceptualizations of integration, some centering on the development of central institutions, others on the existence of favorable attitudes among people, and still others on the existence of a highly co-operative relationship among states. It is not clear that transaction data are the most appropriate measure of any of these concepts.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for processing a transaction between a user and a merchant comprises receiving a request from the user to conduct a transaction with the merchant. The request is received by a computer system programmed to facilitate the transaction. Next, with the aid of a processor of the computer system, the transaction between the user and the merchant is processed. A rewards database of the computer system is then updated with a record of the processed transaction. The rewards database includes a history of one or more transactions between the user and the merchant and a milestone that must be met for the user to be provided a reward from the merchant.
