Adaptive Server version 12 introduces 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 all transactions that update Adaptive Server version 12 data via remote procedure calls (RPCs) and Component Integration Services (CIS)
Provide the framework to support additional distributed transaction management protocols in the future
These capabilities are available as a separately-licensed Adaptive Server feature. See Using Adaptive Server Distributed Transaction Management Features for more information.
