Distributed transactions can take place in an environment where an external transaction manager coordinates transaction execution using a specific protocol, such as X/Open XA. Adaptive Server supports transactions using the CICS, Encina, TUXEDO, and MSDTC transaction managers through the DTM XA interface to Adaptive Server.
Adaptive Server with
the DTM XA interface provides features that were previously part
of the XA-Server product. The XA-Server product is not required
and is not included with Adaptive Server. See the XA Interface Integration
Guide for CICS, Encina, and TOPEND for information about
the DTM XA interface.
