Getting Transactions

There are methods that help you identify the transaction in which the object/catalog was created.

ApiCatalog.getTransaction(), ApiBOBject.getTransaction()

Returns the transaction in which the catalog/the BO was created. This way you can determine the transaction in which the catalogue was created, even though the transaction is an internal one.

Note: when creating catalogs in a short script, you can avoid creating user transaction by getting the internal one, which is created automatically together with the catalog. This enables you to carry out all transaction-related commands and save changes made to the catalog on a single line of code:

ApiCatalog.getTransaction.doCommit()

However, we discourage you from using getTransaction for general purposes. You should only use it in case of solving problems or within a very short portion of code where creating a new transaction would extend the code unnecessarily. Generally, we advise you to stick to using user transactions instead of the internal ones.
