What happens if a single entity in a bundle fails to commit?

When working with bundles in Guidewire, if a single entity within that bundle fails to commit, the entire bundle transaction is rolled back. This is a critical aspect of maintaining data integrity. The design ensures that either all operations within the bundle take effect or none of them do.

This approach prevents scenarios where some changes are made while others fail, which could lead to data inconsistencies. Keeping the transaction atomic—that is, all-or-nothing—guarantees that the system remains in a stable state and that partial updates do not occur. As a result, when any error arises that prevents an entity from committing, the system reacts by rolling back all changes associated with that bundle.

Understanding this behavior is essential for developers working with Guidewire, as it emphasizes the importance of error handling and transaction management in maintaining data accuracy and reliability.
