XA Support

XA Support

The XA interface is part of the X/Open DTP (Distributed
Transaction Processing) standard. It defines the interface that
transaction managers (TM) and resource managers (RM) use
to perform the two-phase commit protocol. (Resource managers
are underlying database systems such as ORACLE RDBMS,
Microsoft SQL Server, and others.) This interface is not used by
the application programs; it is only used by TM-to-RM exchanges
to coordinate a transaction.

For details on using XA, see the RTR C Application
Programmer’s Reference Manual
and the RTR Application
Design Guide
