Remarks

The user should extend from this object in order to write a custom transaction Compensator.

A Compensator must always have a public constructor; otherwise, the recovery engine cannot create it.

For more information, see How to: Create a Compensating Resource Manager (CRM).

Constructors

Compensator()

Initializes a new instance of the Compensator class.

Properties

Clerk

Gets a value representing the Compensating Resource Manager (CRM) Clerk object.

Methods

AbortRecord(LogRecord)

Delivers a log record to the Compensating Resource Manager (CRM) Compensator during the abort phase.

Activate()

Called by the infrastructure when the object is created or allocated from a pool. Override this method to add custom initialization code to objects.

(Inherited from ServicedComponent)
BeginAbort(Boolean)

Notifies the Compensating Resource Manager (CRM) Compensator of the abort phase of the transaction completion, and the upcoming delivery of records.

BeginCommit(Boolean)

Notifies the Compensating Resource Manager (CRM) Compensator of the commit phase of the transaction completion and the upcoming delivery of records.

BeginPrepare()

Notifies the Compensating Resource Manager (CRM) Compensator of the prepare phase of the transaction completion and the upcoming delivery of records.

CanBePooled()

This method is called by the infrastructure before the object is put back into the pool. Override this method to vote on whether the object is put back into the pool.

(Inherited from ServicedComponent)
CommitRecord(LogRecord)

Delivers a log record in forward order during the commit phase.

Construct(String)

Called by the infrastructure just after the constructor is called, passing in the constructor string. Override this method to make use of the construction string value.

(Inherited from ServicedComponent)
CreateObjRef(Type)

Creates an object that contains all the relevant information required to generate a proxy used to communicate with a remote object.

(Inherited from MarshalByRefObject)
Deactivate()

Called by the infrastructure when the object is about to be deactivated. Override this method to add custom finalization code to objects when just-in-time (JIT) compiled code or object pooling is used.

(Inherited from ServicedComponent)
Dispose()

Releases all resources used by the ServicedComponent.

(Inherited from ServicedComponent)
Dispose(Boolean)

Releases the unmanaged resources used by the ServicedComponent and optionally releases the managed resources.

(Inherited from ServicedComponent)
EndAbort()

Notifies the Compensating Resource Manager (CRM) Compensator that it has received all the log records available during the abort phase.

EndCommit()

Notifies the Compensating Resource Manager (CRM) Compensator that it has delivered all the log records available during the commit phase.

EndPrepare()

Notifies the Compensating Resource Manager (CRM) Compensator that it has had all the log records available during the prepare phase.

Equals(Object)

Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.

(Inherited from Object)
GetHashCode()

Serves as the default hash function.

(Inherited from Object)
GetLifetimeService()
Obsolete.

Retrieves the current lifetime service object that controls the lifetime policy for this instance.

(Inherited from MarshalByRefObject)
GetType()

Gets the Type of the current instance.

(Inherited from Object)
InitializeLifetimeService()
Obsolete.

Obtains a lifetime service object to control the lifetime policy for this instance.

(Inherited from MarshalByRefObject)
MemberwiseClone()

Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.

(Inherited from Object)
MemberwiseClone(Boolean)

Creates a shallow copy of the current MarshalByRefObject object.

(Inherited from MarshalByRefObject)
PrepareRecord(LogRecord)

Delivers a log record in forward order during the prepare phase.

ToString()

Returns a string that represents the current object.

(Inherited from Object)

Explicit Interface Implementations

IRemoteDispatch.RemoteDispatchAutoDone(String)

This API supports the product infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code.

Ensures that, in the COM+ context, the ServicedComponent class object's done bit is set to true after a remote method invocation.

(Inherited from ServicedComponent)
IRemoteDispatch.RemoteDispatchNotAutoDone(String)

Does not ensure that, in the COM+ context, the ServicedComponent class object's done bit is set to true after a remote method invocation.

(Inherited from ServicedComponent)
IServicedComponentInfo.GetComponentInfo(Int32, String[])

Obtains certain information about the ServicedComponent class instance.

(Inherited from ServicedComponent)

Applies to
