UseContextObject (obsolete) – PB Docs 2018

Description

Specifies that PowerBuilder controls a transaction using the
transaction service context object TransactionServer. This parameter
applies only when a PowerBuilder custom class user object is deployed as
an EAServer or COM+ component.

Applies to

JDB JDBC

ODBC

O90 Oracle9i

Syntax

Default value

UseContextObject=No

Usage

PowerBuilder provides a transaction service context object called
TransactionServer that gives you access to the transaction state
primitives that influence whether EAServer or COM+ commits or aborts the
current transaction. If you use the TransactionServer context object by
setting the UseConnectObject parameter to Yes, COMMIT and ROLLBACK
statements called on the Transaction object result in a runtime
error.

By default, the TransactionServer context object is not used.
Instead, you can use COMMIT and ROLLBACK statements to manage
transactions. In this case, COMMIT is interpreted as a SetComplete
function and ROLLBACK is interpreted as a SetAbort function. This
approach is recommended only when you want to migrate PowerBuilder 6.x
or prior objects to EAServer or COM+ without modifying the code.

Setting UseContextObject to Yes is incompatible with the use of
the SetTrans function. The SetTrans function is used when you want the
DataWindow engine to manage database connections, transaction state
primitives, and related EAServer component deactivation.
