BeginTransaction

The BeginTransaction activity is used to start a transaction in an ActiveSpaces process.

Note:
  • The BeginTransaction activity must be used to start a transaction.
  • When calling a TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks subprocess in a transaction, the Inline option must be used.
  • In a TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks process, only the basic operation activities with a metaspace the same as the one used by the transaction activities are affected by the behavior of the transaction activities. However, a transaction activity behavior does not affect the basic operation activities with metaspaces that differ from the ones used by the transaction activities, even though they are in the same TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks process.
