Distributed transaction Management

How Oracle8i manage distributed transaction?

Unfortunately to manage transactions over web services there is no viable solution available in market. All implementations come with restrictions e.g. Metro works with only EJBs on Glassfish, JBossTS works on JBoss but not with JAX-WS, Atomikos supports only Axis as of now.
1. See explanation above.
2. Yes, it can be but conditions mentioned above are applied :-)
3. [www.oasis-open.org/committees/ws-tx/|www.oasis-open.org/committees/ws-tx/]
4. Unfortunately as of now I do not see an easy way to this problem.

    Hello,
    I am not an expert in MSDTC but as we know,SQL Azure Database does not support
    distributed transactions. This means that SQL Azure doesn’t allow Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MS DTC) to delegate distributed transaction handling.
    One common cause of MSDTC getting involved in Entity Framework applications is the fact that we close and reopen the same connection as needed (i.e. for each query that is executed).To avoid the stack from opening and closing the connection multiple times,
    you can simply open the connection explicitly and run the queries in the same connectio.
    The following thread is about a similar issue, please refer to:
    http://answers.flyppdevportal.com/categories/azure/sqlazure.aspx?ID=d705a8cf-cba4-494c-96f6-96a136bd29e3
    What's more, you can also try the workaround that involves setting the Enlist option of the SQL Azure connection to false. For the detail explanation, please refer to:Entity
    FrameWork and SQL Azure

  • Forte Transaction Management & 2PC

    Forte Transaction Management & 2PC
    The main purpose of 2PC in a distributed transaction manager is
    to enable recovery from a failure that occurs during the window
    of transaction commit processing. The Forte transaction manager was built
    with this in mind but only with respect to the "volatile" (or "in memory")
    objects that Forte manages. What this implies is that because Forte stores
    objects in memory and not persistently on disk, the requirement of recovery
    for these objects is significantly reduced (if not eliminated all together).
    Forte follows a distributed 2PC model in that tasks and messages carry
    along with them transaction identification and, during commit processing,
    every distributed participant is polled for its availability to commit
    the transaction. Applications saving persistent data to disk during a
    distributed Forte transaction need to concern themselves with the potential
    for failure during the commit processing window. Forte's prepare phase polls
    each site (confirming a communications link with each distributed participant)
    but no prepare request goes to the database primarily because (in release 1 and
    2 of forte) no database supported a general distributed two-phase commit
    (one could take issue with that in the case of Sybase, but rather than debate
    this point, suffice it to say that the general direction in the industry for
    support of this functionality was through TP monitors -- more on that later).
    Once all sites are ready to commit Forte expects that the commit will
    complete successfully. If at this moment, for example, a participating
    Sybase server terminates (with data not yet committed) while a participating
    Oracle server has already committed its unit of work, then the outcome of
    the distributed transaction is inconsistent - if no one has yet committed
    Forte will still abort the transaction. This "window of inconsistency"
    is documented in the Forte TOOL manual.
    Mission critical applications that require distributed transactions can
    address this window of inconsistency in a number of ways:
    * Utilize a TP monitor such as Encina (see below)
    * Log distributed updates in an auxiliary database table (much like a
    distributed transaction monitor's transaction-state log). This approach has
    been the traditional banking application solution prior to the commercial
    availability of products like Encina, Tuxedo, TopEnd, etc.
    This solution is somewhat complex and is usually not generic enough
    so as not to have to change code every time a new table or database
    site is introduced into the application's data model.
    * Rearrange the data model in order to eliminate the need for distributed
    transactions. This is usually only a temporary solution (with smaller
    numbers of active clients) and cannot be applied to complex legacy systems.
    With the advent of the X/Open distributed transaction architecture (the
    XA Interface) more database vendors have found that by complying with the
    XA interface they can plug their database-specific implementation of
    transaction into a globally managed transaction, with commit and abort
    processing being conducted by a central coordinator. Of course, the
    overall transaction manager coordinating the global transaction must
    itself, persistently record the state of the different distributed
    branches participating in the transaction. A significant portion of
    the functionality provided by products such as Encina, Tuxedo, TopEnd and
    OpenTP1 is to provide exactly this global transaction management.
    Rather than extend the Forte distributed transaction manager with the
    functionality necessary to manage and recover distributed transactions
    that modify data on disk, Forte has chosen to integrate with the emerging
    set of commercial transaction monitors and managers. This decision was
    built into the original design of the Forte transaction model (using XA and
    early Tuxedo white-papers as guidelines):
    * In Forte release 2 an integration with Encina was delivered.
    * In January 1997 a press release announced an integration of
    OpenTP1 with Forte for release 3.
    * The Forte engineering staff is currently investing integration
    with other transaction management products as well.
    Neil Goodman,
    Forte Development.

    You don't. ("manage" a transaction)
    There is nothing really to "manage".
    A transaction is automatically started when you make any changes to data (e.g. fire off a DML statement).
    You simply needs to issue a COMMIT or ROLLBACK when needed. A COMMIT at the end of the business transaction and not before (i.e. no committing every n number of rows). A ROLLBACK when hitting an exception or business logic error that requires the uncommitted changes to be undone.
    That in a nutshell is it. It is that simple.
    Oracle also supports creating savepoints and rolling back only some changes made thus far in the transaction.
    The only other thing to keep in mind that a DDL in Oracle issues an implicit commit. Firing off a DDL with cause any exiting uncommitted transaction to be committed.
    Transaction "logic/management" should not be made more complex than this.

  • Oracle Link for Distributed Transaction

    In my application, I've to integrate two system (or I would say two separate instances of Oracle databases) through a Java Program.
    Program will copy some data (approximately 100 records/hour) from one instance of Oracle database and transfer the same to other instance of Oracle and Vice versa. Since this is going to be a stand alone batch application, I thought of using Distributed Transaction Manager like JBOSS TM for controlling distributed transaction.
    Is this approach right? Or can you suggest me any other better approach for this job?

    853627 wrote:
    I do agree with your Oracle Link explanation, and Yes that would be ideal to have in this case. For some reason, I'm forced to use the Java way.
    Why i'm using the distributed transaction because, I'm following certain steps to complete one iteration:
    1) Read the data from Database A,
    2) Move the data to Database B
    3) After successful execution of Step 1 and 2, There is another table in Database A where I need to mark that certain records have been migrated from Database 'A' to 'B'
    4) After that I've to update a summary table with details of the migration like : Number of records read, Time when this routine completed, any validation error in records etc..Distributed transactions require database level support and complications.
    But I don't see anything that suggests you need this.
    First step is no transaction based.
    Only failure point is between 2 and 3/4. And I suspect you could handle that with a tracking table in A.
    1) Start transaction, Read the data from Database A, Update tracking table, end transaction.
    2) Move the data to Database B
    3) Start Transaction
    4) After successful execution of Step 1 and 2, There is another table in Database A where I need to mark that certain records have been migrated from Database 'A' to 'B'
    5) (Presumably A) After that I've to update a summary table with details of the migration like : Number of records read, Time when this routine completed, any validation error in records etc..
    6) Clean tracking table
    7) End transaction.
    If there is a failure, then use the tracking table to facilate correction.

  • Distributed transactions with container-managed MDBs

              I have built a framework that employs a high rate of code reuse while abstracting
              the complexities of inter-application communication. This allows application
              developers to focus on solving their business needs and not worry about "the plumbing"
              between the applications.
              At this point, the framework is using container-managed MDBs for Topic destinations.
              MDBs were chosen because of their concurrent nature for processing JMS messages.
              Now that I have this framework up and running, I am trying to add distributed
              transaction support and am having trouble understanding what I need to do. Here
              is how the framework works:
              The MDB will recieve a message, unmarshall it into a business object, and then
              route that object to the appropriate business class where it is then processed
              accordingly. In most cases, the processing of this message object will require
              database interaction. If any error should occur while processing the message,
              all XAResources within the transaction should rollback and ultimately, the JMS
              message will be redelivered later.
              Here is what I'm trying to find out:
              1. When control is passed to an application and it gets a DB connection, will
              that DB resource be dynamically enlisted with the transaction?
              2. Must the DB connection come from the WLS DB pool to be enlisted with the transaction?
              I ask this because the current standard at this company is to use a home-grown
              DB connection pool for getting DB connections. This is due to the fact that not
              all applications here run in a WLS environment and they wanted a standard way
              of retrieving a DB connection across applications. They also sited problems with
              WLS 4.5.1 connection pool.
              3. The documentation states that only one database may be involved in a transaction.
              If a connection to another database is required, but not needed in the current
              transaction, will WLS ignore enlisting the 2nd DB resource, or throw an exception?
              4. Where can I find <B>detailed</B> information about this subject? Everything
              that I have read so far has barely scratched the surface for this specific topic.
              Thanks,
              Bob.
              

              Hi Bob,
              If you are using WLS's XA connection pool, then the XAResource associated with
              the XA connections are enlisted with the transaction transparently for you. Enlistments
              actually occur not at getConnection, but on demand when the JDBC objects are actually
              used.
              If you are not using WLS connection pools, then you would need to enlist the XAResource
              associated with the XA connections yourself. You can obtain the transaction associated
              with the current thread by calling weblogic.transaction.TxHelper.getTransaction(),
              and then call enlistResource on the transaction.
              Weblogic has provisions that allow one (and only one) non-XA connection pool to
              participate in a distributed transaction. In this case, you will get a SQLException
              when you try to obtain a connection from a second connection pool in the same
              distributed transaction. However, if you are using real XA connection pools,
              there is no limitation and any number of XA connection pools can participate in
              the same distributed transaction.
              We will try to incorporate more info in our online docs in the future.

  • Can not commit distributed transaction

    Hi
    We get error "can not commit distributed transaction" during
    commit the transaction in which we have create NEW entities.
    Update-transactions on existing enitites work correct.
    Our problem is probably due to seauences for object IDs: we are using oracle native sequences:
    <sequence name="SeqErrRecObj" strategy="nontransactional" factory-class="native(Sequence=BUYING.SEQ_ERRRECOBJ)"/>
    As soon we use strategy="nontransactional" in managed environment,
    we get "can not commit distributed transaction" error by creating new instance.
    Switching to strategy="transactional" seems to eleminate this problem.
    I did not found any hint in about this in documentation.
    Can some one confirm our assumption that using nontransactional oracle sequences in manageg (WebLogic 9.2) environment
    is responsible for "can not commit distributed transaction" error and "strategy=transactional" is the right solution.
    Probably we are completely wrong and tehre is some other explanation for this error ?
    kind regards
    Andre Teshler

    Hi Andre,
    It sounds like you have not configured a non-transactional datasource. See section "4.2.1. Managed and XA DataSources" in the <kodo>/docs/jdo/pdf/manual.pdf. Connection is for the managed datasource and Connection2 for the non-transactional.

  • Database to Middleware distributed transaction control

    Hello!
    I'm using RMI in a JAVA stored procedure to invoke an external remote object's method (deployed in an application server). Is there any solution to manage the global transaction between database and middleware?
    I've the same kind of invocations but from middleware to middleware and in that cases JTA (weblogic transaction manager) manage the transaction.
    I've this big challenge in hands. Any idea?
    Thanks a lot

    Hi Kata,
    this won't work as the ALL_TABLES is not a table that exists in your SQl Server  - instead it is a "mimicked" table. This means the gateway will check if you have on your SQL Server a table called all_tables and when there's no table it will start an internal mechanism to check out what sort of tables exist in your SQL Server database. So the gateway is starting internally another transaction to get details from the foreign database and DG4ODBC can't participate in distributed transactions at all. Instead of using all_tables you have to use a real SQL Server table like SQ Server sys.objects or sys.tables.
    - Klaus

  • "in-doubt distributed transaction" (WLS 8.1 SP2/Oracle 9.2.0.4)

              I've developed an MDB that reads a message from a queue, performs database updates
              against up to 2 databases, and sends an outgoing JMS message when all is complete.
              The MDB uses container-managed transactions to ensure that all DB updates and
              JMS messages are committed or rolled back together. I have had a lot of problems
              related to transactions failing, becoming "in-doubt" in the database and locking
              database resources indefinitely.
              My environment is configured as follows:
              WebLogic 8.1.2 Server
              Oracle 9.2.0.4 database with RAC
              XA Connection Pool with WebLogic Type 2 Oracle Driver OR Oracle 9.2.0.4
              OCI Driver
              I have read the BEA/HP white paper regarding Weblogic 8.1 with Oracle 9i RAC (http://dev2dev.bea.com/products/wlserver81/whitepapers/wls_bea_hp.jsp)
              and have tried all of the solutions suggested in that paper. The only solution
              that worked consistently without causing the in-doubt transactions was to change
              my connection pools to point directly to a single node of the RAC cluster, not
              to the shared instance. However, even with this configuration, I have seen these
              errors occur when certain database failures occur.
              A side-effect of this problem is that the associated WebLogic connection pools
              begin to "forget" connections. The pool thinks that all of the connections are
              in use (even though I am always calling Statement.close() and Connection.close()),
              and the connection pool cannot be reset manually. The only way to clear the connection
              pool is to bounce WebLogic.
              The only posts I have found related to this error were regarding Oracle 8.1.7
              and WebLogic 6.1. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi. There is a serious bug in the Oracle DBMS (all versions) where in-doubt
              transactions have their data locked in the DBMS by page rather than by row,
              so it will indefinitely prevent access to all data on the page, including
              logically uninvolved data. Oracle understands the problem but currently
              says they will never fix it (it would take too much work). They offer the
              alternative that you configure your table data to ensure that no more than
              one datarow resides on a page.

  • Distributed Transaction Coordinator not displaying remotely on a server core cluster node..

    We setup a server core single node cluster (W2012 R2).  The MS DTC is running, and the Distributed Transaction Coordinator firewall rules are enabled.  I can connect to the firewall rules and compmgmt.msc remotely for this server.  When
    I attempt to connect to the Component Services Management console with this server, the MS DTC object is not displayed.  Only the COM+ applications are displayed.   We've setup other server core instances with out clustering and DTC is displayed.

    Hi Steve,
    We just finished the local test and found this behavior is by design. It’s expected that we can’t see the DTC remotely from component services for a cluster node.
    In my lab, 2012R2 node3 is a single node cluster and has DTC role.

  • Get error from SQL AGENT: The SSIS Runtime has failed to enlist the OLE DB connection in a distributed transaction with error 0x8004D024

    I am running SQL Agent that executes an SSIS process from sql server1. The SSIS process executes its SQL/tables/sp’s  against another sql server2.
    I get an error after adding data flow tasks with transaction supported within a sequence with transaction required. The error, “The SSIS Runtime has failed to enlist the OLE DB connection in a distributed transaction with error 0x8004D024 "The transaction
    manager has disabled its support for remote/network transactions"
    Prior to adding this sequence everything was working from sql agent, and there were other sequences with oledb destinations.
    Everything works when running within SSIS Package.
    I see this article on similar issue,
    https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/0bfa2569-8849-4884-8f68-8edf98a9b4fe/problem-to-execute-a-package-and-tasks-with-a-certain-transactionoption-property-i-need-help?forum=sqlintegrationservices
    “I had similar issue and solved by setting the following on both the machines. Allow Remote Clients, Allow Remote Administration,
    Allow Inbound Clients, Allow Outbound Clients, and TIP are enabled in Component Services/My Computer/Properties/MSDTC/Security Configuration.”
    I don’t want to remove transaction required for the “Remove Duplicates from Staging” sequence.
    Anyone seen this?
    Greg Hanson

    DTC was running on remote computer. The problem was it was no longer accepting transactions from remote servers. This was in SSIS so I had to turn to "Transaction Supported" for all Data Flow Transactions.

  • ORA-02049: timeout: distributed transaction waiting for lock

    Hi,
    My name is Guneet and I'm working on an application running on BEA Weblogic Server 9.2 running on a Red Hat Linux box using Oracle 10g as the database. My problem is that recently our code started getting the following exception while updating a database table.
    java.sql.SQLException: [BEA][Oracle JDBC Driver][Oracle]ORA-02049: timeout: distributed transaction waiting for lock
    Application Details
    * Using Stateless Session EJB
    * Only one Business method in this EJB with transaction attribute set to "required"
    * This method executes two select queries & one update query
    * We are using JDBC to access the database.
    * We have configured a Data Source & are using it to get a database connection.
    * Weblogic's Oracle Driver is being used.
    More details
    * The application has been running well since a month.
    * Two days ago,the update query failed with the above error.
    * At that time, a single client was accessing the system.
    * Once this problem occurs, it starts appearing frequently.
    * Eventually a request to get a connection from the Data Source times out & the exception copied at the end is thrown
    * At this stage the application gets stuck and all requests trying to get a connection end up with this exception.
    * Fortunately, Restarting the Weblogic Server gets us out of this problem and transactions resume normally.
    Now my questions are
    # Why is this error happening & what does it mean?
    # It looks like the second exception (unable to get a connection from ds) is an after effect of the first problem (ORA-02049) once it appears for a couple of times. Can somebody validate this?
    # Though I don't understand JTA well but I don't think this application needs distributed transactions so, I'm thinking of modifying the driver type to non-XA oracle driver. Any advise/pointers/comments on this front is welcome !!!!!!!!
    Thanks

    Thanks
    Guneet SahaiHi Guneet. If you want to debug the JTA issue, I suggest opening an official
    support case. They will lead you through producing the JTA debug information.
    However, I believe you are correct that the transaction you describe is
    completely doable with a simple local transaction, so if you were to alter
    your pool to use the non-XA driver, it would probably be faster, simpler,
    and just work.
    Let me know...

  • Distributed transactions/jdbc problem WL60

    Hi
              Our company has aworking application running on WLS5.1sp9.
              Im in the process of migrating it to WL6.0sp2.
              Our domain has 2 clusters each running 2 servers:
              1) servlet engines (handling http requests from clients, running servlets
              and jsp's)
              2) ejb containers (runnigour entities and session beans, working with Oracle
              8i database using connection pool and TxDataSource)
              The scenario:
              - a client request invokes a servlet on one of the servlet engines.
              - the servlet opens a jndi context to one of the ejb containers
              - the servlet open a transaction on a UserTransaction stub on that ejb.
              - then the servlet calls an entity bean using a home interface looked up
              using the same context.
              - the entity bean uses DataSource lookup in its own servers jndi to rerieve
              a connection.
              and then i get the following exception:
              java.sql.SQLException: No default driver for database type:
              jdbc:weblogic:jts
              at
              weblogic.jdbcbase.t3.Driver.seeIfWeNeedToInferDriverNameAndUrlFrom(Driver.ja
              va:456)
              at weblogic.jdbcbase.t3.Driver.getAllPropsFrom(Driver.java:255)
              at weblogic.jdbcbase.t3.Driver.connect(Driver.java:75)
              at weblogic.jdbcbase.jts.Driver.createRemoteConnection(Driver.java:199)
              at weblogic.jdbcbase.jts.Driver.connect(Driver.java:134)
              at
              weblogic.jdbc.common.internal.RmiDataSource.getConnection(RmiDataSource.java
              :44)
              at com.unisfair.util.DBHelper.getConnection(DBHelper.java:43)
              the transaction toString() gives:
              transaction=(IdHash=7541556,Name = [EJB
              UserBeanImpl.generateSessionSuffix()],Xid=2:b53da78d3c1badbb,Status=Active,n
              umRepliesOwedMe=0,numRepliesOwedOthers=1,seconds since begin=0,seconds
              left=30,activeThread=Thread[ExecuteThread: '8' for queue: 'default',5,Thread
              Group for Queue:
              'default'],ServerResourceInfo[weblogic.jdbc.jts.Connection]=(state=new,assig
              ned=none),SCInfo[ejb2]=(state=active),SCInfo[servlet2]=(state=active),SCInfo
              [ejb1]=(state=active),properties=({weblogic.transaction.name=[EJB
              UserBeanImpl.generateSessionSuffix()], weblogic.jdbc=t3://10.0.0.31:7007}))
              However the error happens on the other ejb server 10.0.0.33:7007
              It seems that the jts driver tries to get a remote connection on the server
              that coordinates the transaction but uses the deprecated t3 driver.
              I hope someone can help us since this problem is a good enough reason for us

    <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by JDBC_TX ():
    In the readme file of Oracle JDBC drivers 8.1.6.0.1 (http://technet.oracle.com/software/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/files/Readme_01.txt)
    it mentioned that it supports "distributed transactions".
    As I understand, JDBC transaction is connection based and uses Oracle internal transaction manager. In order to do "distributed transactions", I must have at least two connections open at the same time each to its own database instance. How does the two connections coordinate the transactions? I thought in order to support "distributed transactions", one has to build a higher layer to encapsulate the two connections and therefore coordinate the distributed transactions. Any examples will be welcome.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
    The two branches of the transaction are coordinated using 2-phase commit.

  • ORA-00164: autonomous transaction disallowed within distributed transaction

    I have been trying to solve this problem for weeks now, I have posted this question everywhere I can think of, but I havent really received and answer that has helped, so now I am going to post it here hoping for an answer.
    We are running 9iAS on Solaris and when the following stuff is run we are getting ORA-00164 errors. If you refresh the page a bunch of time the problem goes away. But it comes back the next time you try to execute the procedure again. Here are the cases when the problem shows up.
    Editing the style:
    PROCEDURE : PORTAL30.wwpob_app_style.edit_style
    Saving changes to the banner for a page
    PROCEDURE : PORTAL30.wwptl_banner.savecustom
    Logging out
    PROCEDURE : PORTAL30.wwsec_app_priv.logout
    After setting the default user group and applying the changes:
    PROCEDURE : PORTAL30.wwsec_app_user_mgr.edit_user
    Creating a new group:
    PROCEDURE : PORTAL30.wwsec_app_group_mgr.create_group
    Opening the add portlet screen:
    PROCEDURE : PORTAL30.wwv_main.main
    There are a few other places but I don't have them documented. In ALL cases the problem goes away once we start and stop the Apache using the following comands:
    /app/oracle/n_portal/Apache/Apache/bin/apachectl stop
    ps -ef | grep httpd | grep n_portal
    /app/oracle/n_portal/Apache/Apache/bin/apachectl start
    After starting and stopping Apache the problem is gone for a little while (20-30 mins) then it starts coming back slowly (sometimes the problem is there then it is not). Once the problem is back if you continually press refresh on the browser (5-10 times) the page might appear, if the page does not appear you will see the
    ORA-00164: autonomous transaction disallowed within distributed transaction
    The following error appears in apache log (50% of the time) when Autonomous Transaction error shows up on the screen:-
    DSHttpSessionBindingListenerImpl.valueUnbound : closing DS session : DSSession id = 5225534324468880950975536484
    215 PortalSession id = 521335001720MERAJ
    DSHttpSessionBindingListenerImpl.valueUnbound : closing DS session : DSSession id = -638034231325135430097553725
    8001 PortalSession id = 992335001711JDALGLIESH
    These errors might be related to dynamic services but we were had the problem long before Dynamic services was installed.
    We want to start pre-production user testing as we have just had 11 developers building portlets for the company, but we cant do much with this error popping up every time a user wants to test it. We have one of the Oracle consultants here and he has asked the oracle developer group what the problem could be, and they seem to think it might be related to our use of DB links however, we never get the problem when we try to run a portlet that uses a database link.
    Please help.

    Jay,
    My name is Craig McCauley. I'm an Oracle Technical Manager working onsite at Unocal Indonesia. I'm with the Portal group in ATS.
    When I got here the first thing we did was bump up init.ora parameters and apache confif parameters as suggested by the iPlatform group. We have thes sessions parameter (in init.ora) bumped up from 100 to 700. I'm watching v$session and the get these AT messages with as few as 70 total db sessions. Any help your group can give will be greatly appreciated.
    Unocal is planning on implementing Oracle Portal globally - as a common interface. They have similar installs in Thailand and Houston and thus far have not seen the AT messages (although there has not been much development going on at those sites).
    Thanks,
    Craig
