HTransactionCancel (Function) In french: HTransactionAnnule
Not available with this kind of connection
If a transaction is in progress, cancels all the operations performed on the data files in transaction since the start of transaction. In this case, the transaction is canceled without interrupting the program execution. If no transaction is in progress, restores the consistency of the database and cancels the unsuccessful transaction (power failure for example). Remark: A transaction that failed can be canceled by any program. The transaction file is automatically destroyed if it is not shared. The records locked by the write operations performed during the transaction are unlocked. Remark: The HTransactionFree function changes all records from "in transaction" to a normal state, if these records are not in an ongoing transaction. MyConnection is Connection

Syntax
Canceling a current transaction or an interrupted transaction on a Client/Server connection Hide the details
<Result> = HTransactionCancel(<Connection>)
<Result>: Boolean - True if the transaction was canceled,
- False if a problem occurs. HErrorInfo returns more details about the error.
Caution: - If a transaction is in progress on the connection, it is canceled.
- If no transaction is in progress, the interrupted transactions are canceled for the specified connection.
<Connection>: Character string or Connection variable Connection to use. This connection corresponds to: If this parameter corresponds to the hAccessHF7 constant, the transaction will be canceled on the HFSQL Classic (ISAM) files.
Canceling a current transaction or an interrupted transaction on all connections (HFSQL Classic or Client/Server) Hide the details
<Result> = HTransactionCancel([<Transaction file>])
<Result>: Boolean - True if the transaction was canceled,
- False if a problem occurs. HErrorInfo returns more details about the error.
Caution: If the <Transaction file> parameter is not specified, the current transaction is canceled. - If a transaction is in progress, ALL the current transactions are canceled (HFSQL Classic transactions and/or HFSQL Client/Server transactions).
- If no transaction is in progress, ALL the interrupted transactions are canceled (in HFSQL Classic and in Client/Server).
<Transaction file>: Optional character string
Canceling an interrupted transaction on a Client/Server database (to be used if no transaction is in progress) Hide the details
<Result> = HTransactionCancel(<Connection> , <Database>)
<Result>: Boolean - True if the transaction was canceled,
- False if a problem occurs. HErrorInfo returns more details about the error.
Caution: - Only the interrupted transactions on the specified database are canceled.
- The transactions in progress are not canceled.
<Connection>: Character string or Connection variable Connection to use. This connection corresponds to: If this parameter corresponds to the hAccessHF7 constant, only transactions interrupted in HFSQL Classic mode will be canceled. <Database>: Character string Name of the relevant database. An error occurs if this parameter corresponds to an empty string ("").
Canceling a specific transaction, linked to a connection Hide the details
<Result> = HTransactionCancel(<Connection> , <Transaction to cancel>)
<Result>: Boolean - True if the transaction was canceled,
- False if a problem occurs. HErrorInfo returns more details about the error.
Caution: Only the interrupted transactions on the specified database are canceled.
<Connection>: Character string or Connection variable Connection to use. This connection corresponds to: If this parameter corresponds to the hAccessHF7 constant, only the transaction interrupted in HFSQL Classic mode will be canceled. <Transaction to cancel>: Integer Identifier of transaction that will be canceled for the specified connection. This identifier is returned by HTransactionList. Remarks Location and access to data files Before calling HTransactionCancel, the data files handled by the canceled transaction must be: Detecting an error When an error is detected by the program (management of errors with WHILE EXCEPTION for example), HTransactionCancel is used to: - restore the data files in their initial status.
- cancel all the operations performed on the data files since the call to HTransactionStart (or HTransaction).
Tip: Restoring the database consistency If a breakdown (power failure, reboot, ...) occurs during a transaction, the data files may become corrupted: the transaction was neither validated, nor canceled. The transaction file is still found on the computer. To restore the consistency of the database, you should propose in your application: - an option used to maintain the database consistency.
This option can for example call HTransactionCancel or HTransactionStart/HTransactionEnd. - management of error 70034 in the project initialization code via the WHEN EXCEPTION keyword.
Therefore, when the error 70034 occurs, the database consistency will be restored by HTransactionCancel, or by HTransactionStart/HTransactionEnd.
Remark: this operation can be quite long (according to the number of operations performed in transaction). Error cases - Nesting transactions: Transactions cannot be nested (i.e. HTransactionStart or HTransaction cannot be called in a transaction). In this case, error 70031 occurs.
- A fatal error is displayed in the following cases:
- A transaction is started on all the connections while there is at least one connection in transaction.
- A transaction is started on a connection while a transaction was already started on all the connections.
- A transaction is started on all the connections while there is at least one connection whose isolation mode is not "Read Uncommitted".
Transactions and independent HFSQL context When copying a context, if a transaction is in progress on the first context, the new context is not in transaction. You must call HTransactionStart (or HTransaction) to start a transaction in the new context.
