Defining the transaction property

The transaction property specifies how a component participates in transactions. You can view and change the transaction property using the Transactions tab of the component’s property sheet. For a description of each option on the Transactions tab, see “Transactional component attribute”. A transaction consists of a number of database updates (which can be performed by multiple components) that are grouped into a single atomic unit of work.

This information is not stored in the EAServer repository, so if you import a component, you must configure this property manually after importing it.

For a full description of how EAServer handles transactions, Chapter 2, “Understanding Transactions and Component Lifecycles”
