When you run a transaction in Empress, you retain the option of either ultimately committing all the operations in the transaction permanently to the database, or rolling them back. Should you be interrupted in the midst of a transaction, the transaction is unresolved and the database may contain inconsistent or corrupted data. The Warm Restart utility will reset the affected databases and resolve any interrupted transactions. When a database is restarted, an interrupted transaction involving that database can either be completed or rolled back.
