ABSTRACT:
Illustrative embodiments provide a computer-implemented method for indicating a change in a service offering. The computer-implemented method generates a token representative of a state of the service offering, and determines whether the service offering has been modified to form a modified service. Responsive to a determination that the service offering has been modified, generates a token representative of the state of the modified service, and determines whether the service offering has been restarted to form a restarted service. Responsive to a determination that the offered service has been restarted, generates a token representative of the state of the restarted service, and provides the token to a requester.
