What Is a Transaction?

In Sentinel EMS, a transaction records the modifications made to an entity in the audit log every time an operation is performed on that entity. Operations may include create, update, deploy, complete, and so on. Sentinel EMS logs the transaction details for various entities including activations, entitlements, products, customers, users, channel partners, channel partner users, and vendor users.
