beginTransaction

 

 

Overview

The beginTransaction function opens the specified ObjectRepository database archive file {aGor} and marks the start of a series of transactions. When a beginTransaction function is evaluated, the ObjectRepository treats all transactions as temporary until the abortTransaction, or commitTransaction functions are evaluated. If an abortTransaction function is evaluated, all objects stored in the ObjectRepository, up to the previous beginTransaction, are rolled back.

Usage

Use the beginTransaction function to open an archive file and start a series of transactions.

 

Syntax

Expression:

(beginTransaction aGor )


Arguments Name Type Description
