Question

I am using NServiceBus with Distributed Transactions. Normally this works fantastic. Either my message succeeds or fails. All or nothing.

However, I am also trying to record diagnostic data to my database. This is done on a separate ObjectContext. For that, I would like it to save to the database regardless of the success or failure of the Distributed Transaction.

Is there a way to have one (and only one) data context connect to the database outside the distributed transaction? (And keep the rest of them in?)

Answer 1

Try this to suppress your ambient distributed transaction for auditing:

using (new TransactionScope(TransactionScopeOption.Suppress))
{
    // Create logging context and audit your data
}
