ObjectContext::SetComplete method (comsvcs.h)

Declares that the transaction in which the object is executing can be committed and that the object should be deactivated on return.

Syntax

HRESULT SetComplete();

Return value

This method can return the standard return values E_INVALIDARG, E_OUTOFMEMORY, and E_FAIL, as well as the following values.

Return code	Description
S_OK	The method completed successfully.
E_UNEXPECTED	An unexpected error has occurred. This can happen if one object passes its ObjectContext pointer to another object and the other object calls SetComplete using this pointer. An ObjectContext pointer is not valid outside the context of the object that originally obtained it.

Remarks

The object is deactivated automatically on return from the method in which it called SetComplete. If the object is the root of an automatic transaction, COM+ attempts to commit the transaction. However, if any object that was participating in the transaction has called SetAbort, or has called DisableCommit and has not subsequently called EnableCommit or SetComplete, the transaction is aborted.

If an object does not need to maintain its state after it returns from a method call, it should call SetComplete so that it can be automatically deactivated as soon as it returns and its resources can be reclaimed.
