Windows PowerShell command on Get-command Undo-Transaction

NAME

Undo-Transaction

SYNOPSIS

Rolls back the active transaction.

SYNTAX

Undo-Transaction [-Confirm] [-WhatIf] []

DESCRIPTION

The Undo-Transaction cmdlet rolls back the active transaction. When you roll back a transaction, the changes that

were made by the commands in the transaction are discarded and the data is restored to its original form.

If the transaction includes multiple subscribers, an Undo-Transaction command rolls back the whole transaction for

all subscribers. By default, transactions are rolled back automatically if any command in the transaction generates an error. However, transactions can be started by using a different rollback preference and you can use this cmdlet to roll back the active transaction at any time.

The Undo-Transaction cmdlet is one of a set of cmdlets that support the transactions feature in Windows

PowerShell. For more information, see about_Transactions.

NOTES

* You cannot roll back a transaction that has been committed.

You cannot roll back any transaction other than the active transaction. To roll back a different, independent transaction, you must first commit or roll back the active transaction. Rolling back the transaction ends the transaction. To use a transaction again, you must start a new transaction.

Example 1: Roll back the current transaction

PS C:\>Undo-Transaction

This command rolls back the current, active, transaction.

Example 2: Start and roll back a transaction

PS C:\>cd hkcu:\software

PS HKCU:\Software> Start-Transaction

PS HKCU:\Software> New-Item -Path "ContosoCompany" -UseTransaction

PS HKCU:\Software> Undo-Transaction

This example starts a transaction and then rolls it back. As a result, no changes are made to the registry.

Example 3: Roll back a transaction for all subscribers

PS C:\>cd hkcu:\software

PS HKCU:\Software> Start-Transaction

PS HKCU:\Software> New-Item -Path "ContosoCompany" -UseTransaction

PS HKCU:\Software> Get-Transaction

Error 0 RolledBack This example demonstrates that when any subscriber rolls back a transaction, the whole transaction is rolled back for all subscribers. The first command changes the location to the HKCU:\Software registry key. The second command starts a transaction.

The third command uses the New-Item cmdlet to create a new registry key. The command uses the UseTransaction

parameter to include the change in the transaction.

The fourth command uses the Get-Transaction cmdlet to get the active transaction. Notice that the status is Active

and the subscriber count is 1.

The fifth command uses the Start-Transaction command again. Typically, starting a transaction while another

transaction is in progress occurs when a script that is used by the main transaction includes its own complete transaction. This example is performed interactively so that you can examine it in stages. When you run a

Start-Transaction command while another transaction is in progress, the commands join the existing transaction as

a new subscriber and the subscriber count is incremented.

The sixth command uses the Get-Transaction cmdlet to get the active transaction. Notice that the subscriber count

is now 2.

The seventh command uses Undo-Transaction to roll back the transaction. This command does not return any objects.

The final command is a Get-Transaction command that gets the active, or in this case, the most recently active,

transaction. The results show that the transaction is rolled back, and that the subscriber count is 0, showing that the transaction was rolled back for all subscribers.
