Use AutoCommit = true is OK, but I would be sure to use explicit transaction
handling around it so that the AutoCommit behavior is suspended during the
operation so that the whole effect of the datapump's actions can be rolled
back if necessary. Also, you don't want the overhead of an extra API call to
initiate a CommitRetaining for every item that is sent over the wire.
