Understanding MTS Transactions

Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS) enables you to easily use, monitor, and administer distributed transactions in your applications. A distributed transaction is a transaction involving updates to transaction-protected resources on more than one system. The MTS transaction manager, Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MS DTC), provides a distributed transaction facility for Windows NT and Windows 95 systems. MS DTC also makes it possible to update two or more transaction-protected resources on a single system.
