Match window size for matching multi-level transactions between log files

A predefined number of matches is identified between records in a first file and records in a second file. For the matches, determine the span of the actual range of record positions in the second file relative to the positions of the operation records in the first file within which all matches were found. If the actual span is smaller than the span of a current defined range of record positions by at least a first threshold value, decrease the span of the current defined range. If the actual span is within a second threshold value of the span of the current defined range, increase the span of the current defined range. If an amount above a third threshold value of operation records in the first file are not matched to operation records in the second file, increasing the span of the current defined range.
