If any server must recover the transaction, it initiates a process, probe, that determines the last known status of the transaction. After it returns the status of that transaction to the commit service, the probe process dies. The probe process makes use of stat_xact, the same status-checking routine that the commit service uses to check the progress of a distributed transaction.
Adaptive Server version 10.0 is not compatible with
pre-10.0 probe versions.
