Using XA resources with Adaptive Server Enterprise

To use XA resources with an Adaptive Server Enterprise 12.0 or later database running on UNIX or Windows, perform these tasks:

  1. (Windows only.) Verify that you have the correct license file, which is located in %SYBASE%\SYSAM-1_0\licenses\license.dat. To run XA transactions, you must have the ASE_DTM license.

  2. Configure the database to use XA transactions. For more information, see Using the Adaptive Server Distributed Transaction Management Features, available on the Sybase Product Manuals Web page.

  3. Create a database to use for XA transactions.

  4. Configure the database tables and stored procedures required for JDBC connection caches, which are available in $JAGUAR/html/classes/sp/sql_server12.sql.

  5. Configure the database tables required for C/C++ connection caches. You can install these tables by running xa_load.sh (UNIX) or xa_load.bat (Windows), which is located in the EAServer html/classes/sp directory.

  6. Create a login, other than sa, for connecting to the database. You cannot use the sa login to connect to an Adaptive Server Enterprise databases for XA transactions.
