-tmf iqsrv16 database server option

Forces transaction manager recovery for distributed transactions.

Syntax

iqsrv16 -tmf ...

Applies to

Windows.

Remarks

Used during recovery of distributed transactions when the distributed transaction coordinator isn't available. If DTC cannot be located, the outstanding operations are rolled back and recovery continues. It can also be used when starting a database with distributed transactions in the transaction log on a platform where the DTC isn't available.

Warning!   If you use this option, distributed transactions are not recovered properly. It is not intended for routine use.
