# Transactions Event Category
[!INCLUDE[appliesto-ss-asdb-xxxx-xxx-md](../../includes/appliesto-ss-asdb-xxxx-xxx-md.md)]
  The **Transactions** event classes can be used to monitor the status of transactions. The event class names that are prefixed with **TM:** are used to track the transaction-related operations that are sent through the transaction management interface.
