VarRecord StartTransitionWithLock() Method

(SBM On-Premise/PaaS only) Identical to StartTransition(), assumes AppRecord.Lock() has been invoked.

Function Signature

 bool StartTransitionWithLock( trans [, bool stealLock ] )

Parameters

Parameter Type Description
trans Variant

Can be transition ID, 0 (will use default Update transition for item), transition UUID, or transition internal name.

stealLock bool

Optional. If true, any item lock on this item will be stolen by this transition. If it was locked, the user who had the item locked (in transition) will not be able to complete their transition. Does not guarantee that the transition succeeds, as scripts can steal locks from each other.

Return

Type Description
bool True if transition was started. If false, use Shell.GetLastErrorMessage() for more information.

Technical Details

SBM ModScript version: 11.3.

Example

var varRecord = Ext.CreateVarRecord( tableId );
var read =  varRecord.Read( itemTitle );
var gotLock = varRecord.Lock( true );
if ( !varRecord.StartTransitionWithLock( transId )){
  // write an error to Active Diagnostics
  ADLog.Message( __FILE__, __LINE__, ADLogLevelConstants.ERROR, 
    "StartTransitionWithLock failed:\n" + Shell.GetLastErrorMessage() );
  ExitScript();
} 

Notes

Use FinishTransition() to complete the transition.
