<p>
Berkeley DB can be used as an XA-compliant resource manager.
The XA implementation is known to work with the Tuxedo
transaction manager.
</p>
<p>
The XA support is encapsulated in the resource manager
switch db_xa_switch, which defines the following
functions:
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist">
<ul type="disc">
<li><span class="emphasis"><em>__db_xa_close.</em></span>
Close the resource manager.
</li>
<li><span class="emphasis"><em>__db_xa_commit. </em></span>
Commit the specified transaction.
</li>
<li><span class="emphasis"><em>__db_xa_complete.</em></span>
Wait for asynchronous operations to complete.
</li>
<li><span class="emphasis"><em>__db_xa_end. </em></span>
Disassociate the application from a
transaction.
</li>
<li><span class="emphasis"><em>__db_xa_forget.</em></span>
Forget about a transaction that was heuristically
completed. (Berkeley DB does not support heuristic
completion.)
</li>
<li><span class="emphasis"><em>__db_xa_open.</em></span> Open
the resource manager.
</li>
<li><span class="emphasis"><em>__db_xa_prepare.</em></span>
Prepare the specified transaction.
</li>
<li><span class="emphasis"><em>__db_xa_recover.</em></span>
Return a list of prepared, but not yet committed
transactions.
</li>
<li><span class="emphasis"><em>__db_xa_rollback.</em></span>
Abort the specified transaction.
</li>
<li><span class="emphasis"><em>__db_xa_start.</em></span>
Associate the application with a transaction.
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>
The Berkeley DB resource manager does not support the
following optional XA features:
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist">
<ul type="disc">
<li>
Asynchronous operations
</li>
<li>
Transaction migration
</li>
</ul>
</div>
