startChangeSet

Allows you to request changes for your entities. Within a single ChangeSet, you can't start the same change type against the same entity multiple times. Additionally, when a ChangeSet is running, all the entities targeted by the different changes are locked until the change set has completed (either succeeded, cancelled, or failed). If you try to start a change set containing a change against an entity that is already locked, you will receive a ResourceInUseException error.

For example, you can't start the ChangeSet described in the example later in this topic because it contains two changes to run the same change type (AddRevisions) against the same entity (entity-id@1).
