1. An apparatus, comprising:
- a memory;
a processor coupled to the memory operable to;
store in the memory one or more transaction control primitives, wherein the one or more transaction control primitives perform a controlled transaction of a management task in a managed device, the controlled transaction comprising one or more checkpoints between a starting point and an ending point of the controlled transaction;
map a transaction control primitive, for returning the managed device to a state preceding a transaction of the management task, to a device management command;
transmit the device management command to a managed device;

Abstract
A method for arranging transaction control in a device management system. A required transaction control operation is defined in a managing device for arranging transaction control of a management task for a managed device. At least one device management command is defined for the transaction control operation. The at least one device management command is transmitted to the managed device. A required transaction control operation is specified in the managed device onasis of one or more received device management commands, and transaction control for a management task is carried out on the basis of the defined transaction control operation.
