The present invention provides a method, system, computer program product and service, by which a unit of work manager can reliably start a follow-on unit of work after a first unit of work, in the event the first unit of work backs out without requiring to interlock the execution of the first unit of work and follow on unit of work. If the first unit of work completes before the follow-on is started information written to non-volatile memory, written as part of the first unit of work, is used on recovery to start is follow-on unit of work if no other information exists in the volatile storage which indicates the follow-on unit of work has started.
