In [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] Management Objects (SMO), transaction processing is achieved through the connection to the instance of [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] by using the xref:Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Common.ServerConnection object. The xref:Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Common.ServerConnection object is referenced by the xref:Microsoft.SqlServer.Replication.ReplicationObject.ConnectionContext%2A property of the xref:Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Server object when the connection is established. Methods such as xref:Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Common.DataTransferProgressEventType.StartTransaction, xref:Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Common.ServerConnection.RollBackTransaction%2A, and xref:Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Common.ServerConnection.CommitTransaction%2A belong to the xref:Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Server.ConnectionContext%2A object property.
