SYMPTOMS
You may receive an internal error when the Distributed Transaction
Coordinator recovers after a failure.
CAUSE
When a superior Transaction Manager attempts to notify a subordinate
Transaction Manager of a commit decision, it enters the NOTIFYING COMMITTED
state. If the connection between the Transaction Managers is broken before
sending the COMMITREQ message, the superior Transaction Manager does not
properly catch the down event so that it can log the failure to deliver the
commit message. This may leave the Distributed Transaction Coordinator in
an inconsistent state when it recovers from a failure.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Transaction
Server
version 1.0. This problem was corrected in Microsoft Transaction Server
version 1.1.
