Abstract

A method and system for allowing a rollback within a multi-object system infrastructure are provided. In embodiments, a rollback to a state of a software business object is effected. A sync point manager maintains, for example, a list of sync points and their respective associated identifiers and relationship data. When under sync point protection, i.e., a sync point is set, each subsequent object, when created, is requested to prepare a buffer associated with the specific sync point, so that if an error occurs, a request to rollback to the state associated with the sync point is effectable. Multiple sync points may be kept track of by the sync point manager. In further embodiments, the sync points may be associated with a variety of different types of objects.
