What is purpose of GlideTransaction isVirtual function

[hetaldoctor]

Hi

I have a requirement where is need to do validations for non interactive user accounts

I am achieving this using gs.getSession().isInteractive();

One additional test i need to do is to validate whether the transaction is an external or system generated (e.g. through workflow or some job or auto activity)

I was wondering if i can use 

var trans = GlideTransaction.get();

trans.isVirtual() function

Any thoughts.. welcome

Regards

Hi Hetal,

Unfortunately, there is no API reference available for GlideTransaction. Its a java class which you cannot access it directly.

If you are already using isInteractive() and if it returns true, then it would mean that its a manual update. If it returns false, then it an update from the script or from an external source.
