Abstract
Several embodiments disclosed herein are directed to methods, computer program products, and systems configured to track operation dependencies. For example, in one embodiment, at a first entity, a first identifier corresponding to a first operation is accessed. For a second operation occurring as a result of the first operation, a second identifier is generated. A directed event including the first and second identifiers is emitted. The directed event is logged. The second identifier is sent to a second entity. An operation call for the second operation is also sent to the second entity. The second identifier is made available at the second entity for use in creating directed events for subsequent operations occurring as a result of the second operation.
