Abstract
Network or mobile clients are enabled to keep their connections open across shutdowns and reboots of computer systems. Transactions are suspended while the client system is down, and resumed when it comes back up, allowing end-users to perform orderly shutdowns of their systems (especially useful to save battery power on mobile systems) without risk of losing transactions on open TCP connections.
