6.2. AutoCommitTxn Execution Property


Since user level commands may execute multiple source commands, users can specify the AutoCommitTxn execution property to control the transactional behavior of a user command when not in a local or global transaction.

Table 6.2. AutoCommitTxn Settings
Setting Description
OFF Do not wrap each command in a transaction. Individual source commands may commit or rollback regardless of the success or failure of the overall command.
ON Wrap each command in a transaction. This mode is the safest, but may introduce performance overhead.
DETECT This is the default setting. Will automatically wrap commands in a transaction, but only if the command seems to be transactionally unsafe.
The concept of command safety with respect to a transaction is determined by Red Hat JBoss Data Virtualization based upon command type, the transaction isolation level, and available metadata. A wrapping transaction is not needed if any of the following is true:
  • A user command is fully pushed to the source.
  • The user command is a SELECT (including XML) and the transaction isolation is not REPEATABLE_READ nor SERIALIZABLE.
  • The user command is a stored procedure and the transaction isolation is not REPEATABLE_READ nor SERIALIZABLE and the updating model count is zero.
The update count may be set on all procedures as part of the procedure metadata in the model.
