The enlistment object represents the relationship between a resource manager and a transaction object on which the resource manager has enlisted. An enlistment object is created each time a resource manager enlists in a transaction. MS DTC uses the enlistment object to determine which resource managers to involve in the two-phase commit process.
| Origin: | A resource manager creates an enlistment object by calling the IResourceManager::Enlist method. The resource manager typically does this as part of importing a transaction. |
| Occurrences: | One instance of the enlistment object is present for each call to the IResourceManager::Enlist method. Typically, a resource manager enlists in each transaction only once. However, MS DTC permits a resource manager to enlist in a transaction as many times as it chooses. Multiple enlistments could occur, for example, if the same transaction is imported to the resource manager from more than one RM proxy. |
| Duration: | The enlistment object exists for the life of the transactions. It should be released when the transaction completes. |
