Adaptive Server’s support for distributed transaction
management protocols: XA and Microsoft DTC protocols, requires configuration
parameter enable DTM to be set and also a license
to be available.
Distributed transaction management support through Adaptive Server Transaction Coordinator requires configuration parameter enable xact coordination to be set. However, this feature is available with no license requirements.
By default, the configuration parameters for optional features are set to 0 (off). To enable an optional feature, use sp_configure to set its configuration parameter to 1, and restart Adaptive Server.
Some features require additional preparation before you can use them. For more information, see Table 3-2 and Configuring Adaptive Server Enterprise.
