Abstract
Systems and Methods for identifying in the gateway processes or application processes whether an imported transaction is a loop-back transaction, and if so performing work for the imported transaction under the parent transaction. Upon receiving a work request from a remote transaction processing system, an endpoint identifier included as part of the work request is analyzed to determine whether the work request is associated with a parent transaction initiated at the local transaction processing system. If the endpoint identifier indicates that the work request is associated with a transaction initiated in the local transaction processing system, a global transaction identifier included as part of the work request is analyzed to determine the identity of the parent transaction. If the work request includes a remote TIP URL, the application process that receives the request is configured to analyze the global transaction identifier and determine the identity of the parent transaction. If the remote transaction processing system sends a push request, the gateway process that receives the request is configured to analyze the global transaction identifier and determine the identity of the parent transaction. Work is thereafter performed according to the work request under the parent transaction such that a new transaction is not initiated.
