With version 15.5 and later, Adaptive Server supports distributed transaction management (DTM) on its clustered architecture. DTM on the Cluster Edition:
Is fully compliant with the X/Open XA protocol when it acts as the resource manager (RM), without additional services, such as XA-Server.
Ensures consistent commit or rollback for transactions that update Adaptive Server data via remote procedure calls (RPCs) and Component Integration Services (CIS).
Can be part of distributed transactions coordinated by other Adaptive Server installations using the Adaptive Server Transaction Coordination (ASTC) mechanism.
Can coordinate distributed transactions across multiple Adaptive Server installations using the ASTC mechanism.
The Cluster Edition does not support the Microsoft Distributed Transaction
Coordinator (MSDTC) proprietary protocol.
