Details

This function starts a series of switching commands. When ppxSubmit is called, the Point-to-Point Switching service determines if each operation is valid and that there are valid paths for all connections. If the Point-to-Point Switching service cannot make all the requested operations, the system is returned to its state before ppxBegin was called.

After verifying the commands and paths, the Point-to-Point Switching service calls the functions to perform the operations. If an error occurs when making the connections, the system is returned to its state before ppxBegin was called.

Only one begin/submit transaction can be active on a given CTA context.
