Kamesh,

Our API guarantees that the following scenario must work.

Process 1: Create new transaction (Tx1)
            Set properties (including mergeinfo properties)

Process 2: Open transaction Tx1
            Query (mergeinfo) properties set by process 1

Process 1: (Continue to work with still-open transaction Tx1)

How do you propose to support that in your design?

Regards,
Malcolm
