In versions earlier than 15.0.3, Adaptive Server version includes several distributed transaction management features to:
Bring Adaptive Server into full compliance with the X/Open XA protocol when acting as a resource manager, without requiring additional services such as XA-Server
Provide support for distributed transactions coordinated by Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MSDTC)
Ensure consistent commit or rollback for transactions that update Adaptive Server data via remote procedure calls (RPCs) and Component Integration Services (CIS)
Provide the framework to support additional distributed transaction management protocols in the future
This chapter presents an overview of new distributed transaction management features, and describes changes to Adaptive Server that support those features.
