Ora 164

Question

Hi ,
I have following code to insert into remote table and used autonomous transaction like below. When it called from java (XA datasource) getting followoing error - ora 164
ORA-00164: distributed autonomous transaction disallowed within migratable distributed transaction
Cause: A request was made by the application to start a distributed autonomous transaction when the application was in a migratable distributed transaction.
Action: Roll back or commit the current distributed transaction first.
My code is like belwo
PRAGMA AUTONOMOUS_TRANSACTION;
BEGIN
--INSERT LOB VALUE
INSERT INTO local_work_table (MSG_TYPE_T,APPL_N,MSG_I,XML_DATA_T,STAT_C,CRTE_D,CRTE_USER_I)
VALUES (msg_type_in,app_name_in,msg_id_in,l_v_version||xml_msg_in,'N',sysdate,USER)
RETURNING ROWID
INTO l_r_rowid;
INSERT INTO Table_remote (MSG_TYPE,APP_NAME,MSG_ID,XML_DATA,STATUS,CREATE_DT,CREATED_BY)
SELECT MSG_TYPE_T,APPL_N,MSG_I,XML_DATA_T,STAT_C,CRTE_D,CRTE_USER_I FROM DSTB_MSG_OUT_W
WHERE ROWID=l_r_rowid;
DELETE FROM local_work_table ;
commit;
end;
Table_remote is remote DB insertion using DB link.
Thanks,

Hi,
The problem is the XA datasource.
Most often this is used by default, without thinking about the necessity and caveeats.
Does your application make use of that XA datasource, else get rid of it.
If it does, you may wanna look into
