Review under this section shall be exclusive, and decisions of the commission reviewable under this section shall not be reviewable in any other proceeding, and no other official or court shall have power to review any such decision by an action in the nature of mandamus or otherwise except under the provisions of this section or on appeal. The party seeking review shall be responsible for the filing of the transcript and record of all proceedings before the commission with the appropriate appellate court.
