enable DTM enables or disables the Adaptive Server distributed transaction management (DTM) feature. When DTM is enabled, you can use Adaptive Server as a resource manager in X/Open XA and MSDTC systems. You must restart the server for this parameter to take effect. See the XA Interface Integration Guide for CICS, Encina, and TUXEDO for more information about using Adaptive Server in an X/Open XA environment. See Using Adaptive Server Distributed Transaction Management Features for information about transactions in MSDTC environments, and for information about Adaptive Server native transaction coordination services.

NoteThe license information and the run value for enable DTM are independent of each other. Whether or not you have a license for DTM, the run value and the configuration value are set to 1 after you restart Adaptive Server. You cannot run DTM until you install a valid license. If you have not installed a valid license, Adaptive Server logs an error message and does not activate the feature. See the installation guide for your platform for information about installing license keys.
