Transaction example

This is a very simple example showing how to use TransactionManager. This example shows how to begin a transaction, commit a transaction, and rollback a transaction while showing exception handling. We commit two keys and rollback adding a third key and destroying an existing key while showing how to handle exceptions.

Prerequisites

  • An installation of Apache Geode.
  • Apache Geode Native, built and installed.
  • Apache Geode Native examples, built and installed.

Running

  1. From a command shell, set the current directory to the transaction directory in your example workspace.

    $ cd workspace/examples/build/dotnet/transaction
    
  2. Run the startserver.ps1 script to start the Geode cluster with authentication and create a region.

    For Windows cmd:

    $ powershell.exe -File startserver.ps1
    

    For Windows Powershell:

    $ startserver.ps1
    
  3. Execute Debug\dotnet-transaction.exe. The output logs the cache and region creation, and the results of up to five attempts to commit the transaction. Example execution ends when the transaction is successfully committed, or when the maximum number of attempts is reached without a successful commit.

    Created cache
    Created region 'exampleRegion'
    Rolled back transaction - retrying(4)
    Rolled back transaction - retrying(3)
    Rolled back transaction - retrying(2)
    Committed transaction - exiting
    
  4. Run the stopserver.ps1 script to gracefully shutdown the Geode cluster.

    For Windows cmd:

    $ powershell.exe -File stopserver.ps1
    

    For Windows Powershell:

    $ stopserver.ps1
