Abstract

Managing a content management system. The content management system is one that is configured and controlled to establish a connection between a client and a library server, generate a transaction identifier and insert, a record for the transaction in a tracking table associated with the library server, pass transaction data from the client to a resource manager, process the transaction at the resource manager and record transaction data in a tracking table associated with the resource manager. The resource manager returns transaction success/failure data to the client, compares activity recorded in the tracking tables, and takes corrective action based upon the activity comparison.
