Abstract
Systems, methods and computer program products are provided for linking a plurality of transactions performed by a plurality of servers at a Web site to a Web site visitor who initiates or is associated with the transactions. A Web server receiving a client request from a Web site visitor stores a record of the client request in a log file and attaches a unique record identification (RID) to the record if further processing is required. The Web server passes the unique RID to an Application server at the Web site along with the client request. The Application server stores a record of the Application server request in a log file associated with the Application server and attaches the RID to the record. The Application server passes the unique RID to a back-end server along with a request for the back-end server to perform an action. The back-end server stores a record of the Application server request in a log file associated with the back-end server and attaches the RID to the record.
