pub.db:startTransaction

WmDB. Begins a transaction on a database connection. As an alternative to this service, consider using the services provided with the webMethods Adapter for JDBC.

You may specify the connection parameters in one of the following ways: $dbAlias $dbURL, $dbUser, $dbPass, $dbDriver $dbConnection
$dbAlias	String Optional. Alias of the database for which you want to start the transaction. This information is passed automatically.
$dbURL	String Optional. JDBC URL that identifies the database resource.
$dbUser	String Optional. User name to use to log into the database.
$dbPass	String Optional. Password for the user.
$dbDriver	String Optional. Name of the JDBC driver to use.
$dbConnection	com.wm.app.b2b.server.DBConnection Optional. Connection object returned by pub.db:connect.

$dbMessage

String Message indicating the success or failure of the operation.

By default, all database connections are opened in "auto commit" mode, meaning the results of a operation are automatically committed to the database when that operation succeeds. To use a connection in a transactional context, you must first call pub.db:startTransaction to take that connection out of "auto commit" mode.

This service returns an exception if an error occurs when starting the new transaction. Common reasons for an error when starting a new transaction are:

After a transaction has been started, it must be terminated with a call to either pub.db:commit (to save all changes to the database) or pub.db:rollback (to discard changes).
