Understanding Transactions

When a database is in read/write mode, Essbase considers every update request to the server (such as a data load, a calculation, or a statement in a calculation script) as a transaction. Essbase tracks information about transactions in a transaction control file (dbname.tct).

The transaction control file contains an entry for each transaction and tracks the current state of each transaction (Active, Committed, or Aborted).
