In the context of the Fabric Gateway client API, the call that a client application would use to update the ledger state isSubmit1. TheSubmitfunction combines the actions of endorsing a transaction proposal, submitting the transaction to the ordering service, and waiting for the transaction to be committed to the ledger into a single blocking call. This simplifies the process for the client application, allowing it to update the ledger state with a single line of code.TheEvaluatecall, on the other hand, is used to query the current state of the ledger without making any updates2.There are noInvokeorUpdatecalls in the Fabric Gateway client API as per the official documentation

The correct subcommands for querying in the peer lifecycle chaincode arequeryinstalled,queryapproved,checkcommitreadiness,commit, andquerycommitted1. The subcommandquerypackagedis not a supported subcommand for querying in the peer lifecycle chaincode.

In Raft, configuration occurs at two levels: local and channel. The local configuration pertains to node-specific settings such as TLS communication and file storage. The channel configuration, on the other hand, defines the membership and operational parameters of the Raft cluster for a specific channel, including settings like heartbeat frequency and leader timeouts. This dual-level configuration allows for precise control over the behavior of Raft nodes within the Hyperledger Fabric network .

In Hyperledger Fabric, the Gateway service manages the transaction submission process on behalf of the client application. This service simplifies the interaction with the network by abstracting the details of transaction construction, endorsement, and submission. The Gateway service assembles the necessary endorsements according to the relevant chaincode endorsement policies and submits the transaction to the ordering service. This role of the Gateway enhances the usability and efficiency of transaction processing, reducing the complexity for client applications by handling these critical steps internally.

In Hyperledger Fabric, if a user submits a transaction with no matching function specified in the smart contract, the unknownTransaction function is invoked by default. This function serves as a catch-all method that can be used to handle cases where the transaction type is not recognized, providing a mechanism to manage or log these occurrences effectively .
