Definition

A transaction is a group of logically connected requests. A business process should usually be combined in a transaction.

Use

The start and end of a transaction are identified in the Distributed Statistics Records. This means that the number of transactions can, for example, be determined by actions or users during the aggregation.

Dependencies

In some components, it is not possible to identify the start and end of the inbound requests of a business process. The term "transaction" must be redefined in these components.

Example

In the Internet Transaction Server, it is not possible to identify the business process using the inbound requests. In the Distributed Statistics Records (DSR) for the ITS, all actions within a user logon (session) are therefore combined into one transactions.

In ABAP systems, a transaction starts with the call of the new transaction, a previous update or commit, and also ends with these actions. It is also known as a Logical Unit of Work (LUW).
