Platform SDK: Transaction Server

Application Program-Initiated Transactions

Most resource managers can participate in application program-initiated transactions. This is beneficial because the application program can:

Invoke any OLE Transactions-compliant resource manager.
Explicitly control the scope and duration of the transaction.
Be coded in any programming language that supports the OLE Transactions interfaces for initiating and controlling MS DTC transactions.

Note

Only the C and C++ programming languages currently support these interfaces with MS DTC version 1.0.
