Abstract: nowadays, the most controversial issue is transaction in database systems or web services. Specifically, in the area of service-oriented computing, where business transactions always need long periods of time to finish. In the case of a failure rollback, which is the traditional method, it will not be enough and not suitable for handling errors during long running transactions. As a substitute, the most appropriate approach is compensation which is used as an error recovery mechanism. Therefore, transactions that need a long time to complete are programmed as a composition of a set of compensable transactions. This study attempts to design several compensation policies in the long running web transaction especially when the transaction has parallel threads. Meabwhile, one thread in sequence steps of the transaction may fail. This paper also describes and models many different ways to compensate to the thread. Moreover, this study proposes a system to implement creating long running transactions as well as simulating failures by using compensation policies.
