Spring Boot Data JPA - Not saving entities to the database
<p>I have a Spring Boot application using JPA that has 2 datasources, 1 for DB2 and 1 for SQL Server.</p>

<p>When I try to save an entity to SQL Server, no error is thrown, but the entity is not persisted to the database.  I do not see an insert being generated in the log.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance</p>

<p>Here is the code I execute to try and save the entity.
@Component</p>

<pre><code>public class TestSave {

    @Autowired
    private BeercupMessageLogRepository repository;


    @Scheduled(fixedRate = 500000)
    public void reportCurrentTime() {
        System.out.println("Testing Save ... ");

        // Save the message in the transaction log - TypeId = 1 for Quote
        BeercupMessageLog beercupMessage = new BeercupMessageLog(1,"THIS IS A TEST ...", false);
        beercupMessage = repository.save(beercupMessage);
        System.out.println("Testing save complete ....");

    }
}
</code></pre>

<p>Here is the sql Server configuration. <br></p>

<pre><code>@Configuration
@EnableTransactionManagement
@EnableJpaRepositories(basePackages="com.xxx.beverage.repository.sqlserver",entityManagerFactoryRef = "entityManagerFactory", transactionManagerRef = "transactionManager")

    @ConfigurationProperties(prefix = "sqlserver.datasource")

        return DataSourceBuilder.create().build();
    }

                   .packages("com.boelter.beverage.model.sqlserver").build();     }

    private Map&lt;String, Object&gt; jpaProperties() {

<p>Here is the SQL Server Repository</p>

<p>public interface BeercupMessageLogRepository extends </p>
