Sharing the transaction

Once a behavior is introduced to identify the partition key for a given message, it is possible to share a Azure Table TableBatchOperation between both the Saga persistence and business data. The shared TableBatchOperation can then be used to persist document updates for both concerns atomically.

Within a handler method using IMessageHandlerContext

To use the shared TableBatchOperation in a message handler:

snippet: HandlerSharedTransaction

Testing

The TestableAzureTableStorageSession class in the NServiceBus.Testing namespace has been provided to facilitate testing a handler that utilizes the shared transaction feature.

With dependency injection

For custom types that require access to the shared TableBatchOperation:

And alternatively to using the the extension method IMessageHandlerContext.SynchronizedStorageSession.AzureTablePersistenceSession():
