This section describes the transaction coordinator models that are available. All components installed in one instance of EAServer share the same transaction coordinator.
EAServer transaction coordinator models are:
Java Transaction Service (JTS) For UNIX or Windows users, this option complies with the JTS and the Object Transaction Service (OTS) and X/Open Architecture (XA) standards. The JTS transaction coordinator integrates the functionality of the shared connection, OTS/XA, and JTS/JTA transaction modes. The JTS transaction coordinator uses two-phase commit to coordinate transactions among multiple databases.
Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator (DTC) DTC uses two-phase commit to coordinate transactions among multiple databases. DTC is available on Windows platforms as part of Microsoft SQL Server 6.5 or later.
To set the transaction coordinator for your server, select the transaction model from the server’s Transactions tab in the Server Properties dialog box.
For detailed information about components and transactions, see Chapter 2, “Understanding Transactions and Component Lifecycles,” in the EAServer Programmer’s Guide.
