Incomplete exchange transactions

Question

What happens if one doesn't follow through createrawexchange,  appendrawexchange,  sendrawtransaction  commands. Will it leave the blockchain in an inconsistent state especially if the sendrawtransaction is not sent?

Answer 1

No, this is completely fine. Until sendrawtransaction is called, you are just building up the raw data representing an exchange transaction, and not affecting the blockchain or other nodes.
