OSB calling Tuxedo Not transactional?

Question

I have a web service with methods in it that calls OSB services (which I have configured to call Tuxedo services exposed through the WTC). However, my calls don't seem to be transactional... is there a way to conifgure OSB to be transactional when calling Tuxedo services exposed through WTC?

Answer 1

Let me describe how I am calling these Tuxedo services...
1. Import/expose Tuxedo service via WTC...
2. Create an OSB business service bound to one of the imported services
3. Create an OSB proxy service that creates a route that calls the business service created in #2, pretty simple, no transformations done
4. Create a web service front end that calls the proxy created in #3
So, everything seems to work using #1-4, except of course the non-transactional issue. So, to fix this what I attempted to do was to replace the value of the outbound qualityOfService variable from "best-effort" to "exactly-once". To do this I modified #3 to add a replace message processing action to modify the quality of service attribute to "exactly-once". I got this working (looks like it's modifying the request going into the business service), but still no luck having the Tuxedo side of things to be transactional. Maybe I'm still not doing something properly...?
Here is the request getting passed into my business service from the proxy:
