Stateful versus stateless operations in configuration APIs
You can perform operations with configuration APIs in the following modes:
- In the stateful mode, you must manually initiate and commit operations via the transaction API. The stateful mode is useful if you want to script multiple operations and commit them all at the same time, or if you want to be able to roll back any changes that you make.
- In the stateless mode, the system commits each operation automatically but does not permit you to roll back any changes. Operating in stateless mode is useful if you want to make individual changes to a feature and do not anticipate needing to roll back an operation. In stateless mode, operations that fail are rolled back to previous configuration settings, but you cannot roll back any changes that you make in successful operations.
