Configuring transaction resources

Adaptive Server provides a common interface to support both local server transactions and external transactions coordinated by distributed transaction protocols. Distributed transaction protocol support is provided for X/Open XA, MSDTC, and native Adaptive Server transaction coordination services.

Adaptive Server manages all transactions as configurable server resources, and the System Administrator can configure the total number of resources available in a given server. Client tasks that access Adaptive Server in an X/Open XA environment can also suspend and join threads to transaction resources as needed.

This section describes how to determine and configure the total number of transaction resources available to Adaptive Server.
