For each persisted transaction without validated result:
Query transaction by hash
If (result appears in validated ledger)
# Outcome is final
Persist the final result
If (result code is tesSUCCESS)
Application may act based on successful transaction
Else
Application may act based on failure
Maybe resubmit with new LastLedgerSequence and Fee
Else if (LastLedgerSequence > newest validated ledger)
# Outcome is not yet final
Wait for more ledgers to be validated
Else
If (server has contiguous ledger history up to and
including the ledger identified by LastLedgerSequence)
The transaction failed
Submit a new transaction, if appropriate for application
Else
Repeat submission of original transaction
# Outcome is final, but not known due to a ledger gap
Wait to acquire contiguous ledger history
```
#### Ledger Gaps
If your server does not have contiguous ledger history from when the transaction was originally submitted up to and including the ledger identified by LastLedgerSequence, you may not know the final outcome of the transaction. (If it was included in one of the ledger versions your server is missing, you do not know whether it succeeded or failed.)
Your `rippled` server should automatically acquire the missing ledger versions when it has spare resources (CPU/RAM/disk IO) to do so, unless the ledgers are older than its configured amount of history to store. Depending on the size of the gap and the resource usage of your server, acquiring missing ledgers should take a few minutes. You can also manually request your server to acquire historical ledger versions using the [`ledger_request` command](reference-rippled.html#ledger-request).
Alternatively, you can look up the status of the transaction using a different `rippled` server that already has the needed ledger history, such as Ripple's full-history servers at `s2.ripple.com`. Only use a server you trust for this purpose. A malicious server could be programmed to provide false information about the status and outcome of a transaction.
