<h1 align=center>Introduction</h1>
<p>Berkeley DB can be used as an XA-compliant resource manager.  The XA
implementation is known to work with the Tuxedo(tm) transaction
manager.
<p>The XA support is encapsulated in the resource manager switch
db_xa_switch, which defines the following functions:
<p><blockquote><pre>__db_xa_close     Close the resource manager.
__db_xa_commit    Commit the specified transaction.
__db_xa_complete  Wait for asynchronous operations to
                  complete.
__db_xa_end       Disassociate the application from a
                  transaction.
__db_xa_forget    Forget about a transaction that was heuristically
                  completed. (Berkeley DB does not support heuristic
                  completion.)
__db_xa_open      Open the resource manager.
__db_xa_prepare   Prepare the specified transaction.
__db_xa_recover   Return a list of prepared, but not yet
                  committed transactions.
__db_xa_rollback  Abort the specified transaction.
__db_xa_start     Associate the application with a
                  transaction.
</pre></blockquote>
<p>The Berkeley DB resource manager does not support the following optional
XA features:
<ul type=disc>
<li>Asynchronous operations.
<li>Transaction migration.
</ul>
<p>The Tuxedo System is available from <a href="http://www.beasys.com">BEA Systems, Inc.</a>
