abortTransaction
New in version 4.0.
Terminates the multi-document transaction and rolls back any data changes made by the operations within the transaction. That is, the transaction ends without saving any of the changes made by the operations in the transaction.
To run the
abortTransaction
, the command must be run against theadmin
database and run within aSession()
. Rather than run theabortTransaction
command directly, most users should use the driver method or themongosh
Session.abortTransaction()
helper.
Syntax
The command has the following syntax:
db.adminCommand( { abortTransaction: 1, txnNumber: <long>, writeConcern: <document>, autocommit: false, comment: <any> } )
Behavior
Atomicity
When a transaction aborts, all data changes made by the writes in the transaction are discarded without ever becoming visible and the transaction ends.
Security
If running with auditing, operations in an aborted transaction are still audited.
