In my opinion... NO : Retrofitting TRANSACTIONs into existing programs would be a nightmare.
YES: Definitely use them when writing a new application from scratch and even a new sub-system enhancement if it is pretty much self-contained with limited, well-defined interfaces that write into the parent system. NO : I would caution against writing them into new programs that are enhancements to existing (sub-)systems. cds From: Les Hewkin > we had a batch process that processed lots of data and I mean > lots, but it didn't have any transaction boundaries.
