Transaction IDs are not authoritative until a transaction has been confirmed. Absence of a transaction hash in the blockchain does not mean the transaction was not processed. This is known as "transaction malleability", as transaction hashes can be modified prior to confirmation in a block. After confirmation, the txid is immutable and authoritative.

The transaction form shown above with the command +gettransaction+ is the simplified form. To retrieve the full transaction code and decode it we will use two commands, +getrawtransaction+ and +decoderawtransaction+. First, +getrawtransaction+ takes the transaction hash (txid) as a parameter and returns the full transaction as a "raw" hex string, exactly as it exists on the bitcoin network: The transaction form shown above with the command +gettransaction+ is the simplified form.

We can further explore the blockchain by examining the previous transaction referenced by its txid in this transaction using the same commands (e.g., +gettransaction+). Jumping from transaction to transaction we can follow a chain of transactions back as the coins are transmitted from owner address to owner address.
