Unit of work state

The current state of the unit of work (LUW).   A commitment definition is established at each location that is part of the transaction program network.  For each commitment definition, the system keeps track of the start of its current LUW and previous LUW.  The system uses the state to decide whether to commit or rollback if an LUW is interrupted.  If multiple locations are participating in an LUW, the states of the LUWs at each location may be compared to determine the correct action (commit or rollback).  This process of communicating between locations to determine the correct action is called resynchronization.
