Subject Re: [IBO] Problem with Stored Procedure - Server AutoCommit - Commit - CommitRetaign
Author Vincenzo Scarpellino
Now, it is clear.

I have this setting:
Isolation= tiConcurrency
RecVersion=True;

Following there is new code;

if IB_Transaction2.TransactionIsActive then
IB_Transaction2.Rollback
else
begin
try
IB_Transaction2.StartTransaction;
try
IB_StoredProcedureUpdateData.ExecProc;
except
IB_Transaction2.Rollback;
end;

try
IBOQueryReport.Prepare;
IBOQueryReport.Open;
except
IB_Transaction2.Rollback;
end;

IB_Transaction2.Commit;
except
IB_Transaction2.Rollback;
end;
end;

Thank You
