OI transaction processing

For transact(...) to work, do you have to call Control_On first for the relevant tables? The documentation says you do, but I can't find any instance of the function Control_On in our codebase.

    Yes and No. The purpose of the Control_On routine is to add (or remove) PROTECT.MFS to the table so the transaction processing can work. If you intend transaction processing to be permanent for a table, then run Control_On once for your table and then save the database definition. Going forward you won't have to run Control_On again. If you only intend to run transaction processing on-the-fly, then call Control_On to enable it before you run your transactional code and then run it again to disable it.

    Makes sense.
