Unfortunately, the API doesn't provide the functionality--it's just giving you the hooks to use the functionality in the LTM software. So you'd need to upgrade LTM to 11.x to use iControl transactions. If this is the only reason you have for upgrading to 11.x, I'd suggest waiting to upgrade.

 

 

To manually handle a rollback, you'd want to track what you'd done in previous calls and undo it if a subsequent call failed. Not pretty, but possible...
