More Information
Summary:A communication interface is provided for use in a distributed transactional processing environment which allows a program application to be directly written to a resource and provides a communication interface between plural transaction processing systems. The present invention also informs all participating transaction managers of the existence of a transaction and further informs the local transaction manager of all sites which are participating the the transaction. Specific communication protocols are defined which allow any type of communication services to be utilized to provide the communication link. Additionally, the transactional and communication management functions are separated, allowing the communication manager to perform functions previously implemented by the transaction manager.
