RepositoryTransaction Object

See Also

The Repository supports the bracketing of multiple changes within the scope of a transaction. Changes to a Repository that are bracketed within a transaction are either all committed or all undone, depending upon the way that the transaction is completed. Repository methods that are reading data from the Repository may be executed outside of a transaction, but methods that write data must be bracketed within a transaction.

You cannot directly instantiate a RepositoryTransaction object. When you connect to a Repository, a RepositoryTransaction object is created for you. It is accessible via the Repository.Transaction property.

When to Use

Use the RepositoryTransaction object to manage Repository transactions.
