This version of the documentation is archived and no longer supported. View the current documentation to learn how to upgrade your version of MongoDB.

Callback API vs Core API

The Callback API:

Starts a transaction, executes the specified operations, and commits (or aborts on error).
Automatically incorporates error handling logic for "TransientTransactionError" and "UnknownTransactionCommitResult".

The Core API:

Requires explicit call to start the transaction and commit the transaction.
Does not incorporate error handling logic for "TransientTransactionError" and "UnknownTransactionCommitResult", and instead provides the flexibility to incorporate custom error handling for these errors.

Callback API

The callback API incorporates logic:

To retry the transaction as a whole if the transaction encounters a "TransientTransactionError".
To retry the commit operation if the commit encounters an "UnknownTransactionCommitResult".

Example

➤ Use the Select your language drop-down menu in the upper-right to set the language of the examples on this page.

Important

Use the MongoDB driver for your MongoDB version.
When using drivers, each operation in the transaction must pass the session to each operation.
Operations in a transaction use transaction-level read concern, transaction-level write concern, and transaction-level read preference.
You can create collections in transactions implicitly or explicitly. See Create Collections and Indexes in a Transaction.

The example uses the new callback API for working with transactions, which starts a transaction, executes the specified operations, and commits (or aborts on error). The new callback API incorporates retry logic for "TransientTransactionError" or "UnknownTransactionCommitResult" commit errors.

Core API

The core transaction API does not incorporate retry logic for errors labeled:

"TransientTransactionError". If an operation in a transaction returns an error labeled "TransientTransactionError", the transaction as a whole can be retried.
To handle "TransientTransactionError", applications should explicitly incorporate retry logic for the error.
"UnknownTransactionCommitResult". If the commit returns an error labeled "UnknownTransactionCommitResult", the commit can be retried.
To handle "UnknownTransactionCommitResult", applications should explicitly incorporate retry logic for the error.

Example

➤ Use the Select your language drop-down menu in the upper-right to set the language of the examples on this page.

The following example incorporates logic to retry the transaction for transient errors and retry the commit for unknown commit error:

/* takes a session, an out-param for server reply, and out-param for error. */
typedef bool (*txn_func_t) (mongoc_client_session_t *, bson_t *, bson_error_t *);
/* runs transactions with retry logic */
