Transactions
Transactions are services executed in the middleware that enable you to implement complex business logic in your app, consume databases and invoke external services (such as SOAP and REST services). Transactions also allow you to invoke processes in Studio and might involve several steps and data transfer between different Veritran consoles.
There are two types of transactions in the Veritran platform:
Native transactions are legacy transactions created in Middleware that are linked to a VT Service created in Studio.
Configurable transactions are low-code, built with a visual editor using action boxes that add logic and functions to the transaction flow.
The Transactions page (Global Logic > Transactions) contains all the transactions available in Studio, both configurable and native. From this page, you can create, delete or edit configurable and native transactions, and publish configurable transactions. Refer to the annotated image below to learn more about this page.
Search bar and product filter. Search by transaction name, code, description, or creator user. You can also filter transactions by product from the drop-down menu.

List of transactions. The list appears as a table, with a row for each transaction and columns that show the following information:
Code
The transaction's numeric code.
Name
Name given to the transaction.
Type
Indicates if the transaction is native or configurable.
Product
The content of this field varies depending on the client and the products configured in each workspace's architecture. To identify the product you need to work with, contact your admin.
Tags
This field shows tags associated to a transaction. Tags can help you find transactions more easily.
Status
The status of a configurable transaction can be Published or Pending Publication. Transactions that have been edited but were not published show the Pending Publication status. This field does not apply to native transactions.
Last Update
Date of last update and user who made the update.
Actions
Edit
Click to edit a transaction.
Run
Click to run a transaction to verify its correct implementation. To learn more about this feature, read Run Transaction.
More Options
Publish
Publish the transaction after saving your changes so that they reflect on your app. Only available for configurable transactions.
Duplicate
Click to create an exact copy of a selected transaction.
Delete
Click to delete a transaction. Configurable transactions with the Published status can't be deleted. Deleting a native transaction might affect its functionality.
Rows per page and pagination. Click the drop-down menu to display 10, 20 or 50 rows per page. Click the arrows to navigate through the pages of the list.
About Transactions and Middleware
Publishing a configurable transaction automatically creates a transaction in Middleware, while native transactions require you to create it manually. Read Transactions in Middleware documentation to learn about this process.
