IObjectContext::EnableCommit Method

[This product will work only on Windows NT 4.0 versions and earlier. For Windows 2000 and later, see COM+ (Component Services).]

Declares that the current object's work is not necessarily finished, but that its transactional updates are consistent and could be committed in their present form.

Provided By

IObjectContext

HRESULT IObjectContext::EnableCommit ( );

Return Values

S_OK
The call to EnableCommit succeeded and the object's transactional updates can now be committed.

E_UNEXPECTED
An unexpected error occurred. This can happen if one object passes its IObjectContext pointer to another object and the other object calls EnableCommit using this pointer. An IObjectContext pointer is not valid outside the context of the object that originally obtained it.

Remarks

When an object calls EnableCommit, it allows the transaction in which it's participating to be committed, but it maintains its internal state across calls from its clients until it calls SetComplete or SetAbort or until the transaction completes.

EnableCommit is the default state when an object is activated. This is why an object should always call SetComplete or SetAbort before returning from a method, unless you want the object to maintain its internal state for the next call from a client.
