api.startDatabaseOperation() - RevoEngine

`api.startDatabaseOperation()`

Explicitly starts an UPDATE, DELETE, reviewed view mutation, or TRUNCATE in Operations. Existing mutation methods remain synchronous. This call cannot join transactionDatabase. System messages are suppressed by default; set skipNotification: false to opt in. Retry resumes the remaining durable workset without repeating committed batches.

Signature

static startDatabaseOperation(name: string, options: Omit<DatabaseOperationInput, 'databaseName'>): Promise<{ accepted: true; jobId: string; status: string }>;

Example

const operation = await api.startDatabaseOperation('orders', {
  action: 'UPDATE', request: { filter: { field: 'status', op: 'eq', value: 'READY' } },
  data: { status: 'PROCESSED' }, skipNotification: false,
});
