Managing Transactions

Each instance of the Repository class implements the IRepositoryTransaction interface, which supports these methods and properties:

• The Begin method, which marks the beginning of a transaction.
  
  
• The Commit method, which marks the end of a transaction.
  
  
• The Abort method, which cancels a transaction and undoes all updates performed by the transaction.
  
  
• The GetOption and SetOption methods, which get and set transaction options that control:
  • Whether or not other transactions are permitted to open the Microsoft® Repository database from within the same process.
    
    
  • Whether or not updates are cached until the Commit is performed.
    
    
  • How long to wait for a transaction to start.
    
    
  • How long to wait for a lock on a Repository object.
• The Status property, which indicates whether or not a transaction is currently active.

For each open Repository instance, the pointer to the IRepositoryTransaction interface is available through the Transaction property.
