1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
determining, in a multiple-application landscape that includes multiple applications, to initiate an integrated end of purpose protocol for an object;
providing, to each of the multiple applications, an end-of-purpose query that requests a respective application to determine whether the respective application is able to block the object;
receiving, as received end-of-purpose statuses, in response to the end-of-purpose query, an end-of-purpose status from each of the multiple applications that indicates whether the respective application is able to block the object;
evaluating the received end-of-purpose statuses to determine whether an aligned end of purpose has been reached for the object in the multiple-application landscape; and
in response to determining that the aligned end of purpose has been reached for the object in the multiple-application landscape, providing, to each of the multiple applications, a block command that instructs a respective application to locally block the object in the respective application.
