Attributes

Syntax

TYPE DBMS_XA_XID_ARRAY as TABLE of DBMS_XA_XID

Syntax

DBMS_XA.DIST_TXN_SYNC; 

Syntax

DBMS_XA.XA_COMMIT (
   xid       IN  DBMS_XA_XID,
   onePhase  IN  BOOLEAN)
RETURN PLS_INTEGER;

Parameters

Return Values

See Table 180-2, "DBMS_XA Constants for Possible Return Values". Possible return values indicating error are: XAER_RMERR, XAER_RMFAIL, XAER_NOTA, XAER_INVAL, or XAER_PROTO. Other possible return values include: XA_OK, XA_RB*, XA_HEURHAZ, XA_HEURCOM, XA_HEURRB, and XA_HEURMIX.

Usage Notes

• An application must not call COMMIT, but instead must call XA_COMMIT to commit the global transaction specified by xid. If a user needs to commit a transaction branch that is created by other users, FORCE ANY TRANSACTION must be granted to the user.

• If onePhase is TRUE, the resource manager should use a one-phase commit protocol to commit the work done on behalf of xid. Otherwise, only if all branches of the global transaction have been prepared successfully and the preceding XA_PREPARE call has returned XA_OK, should XA_COMMIT be called.

• The application must make a separate XA_COMMIT call for each of the transaction branches of the global transaction for which XA_PREPARE has returned XA_OK.

• If the resource manager did not commit the transaction and the parameter onePhase is set to TRUE, the resource manager may return one of the XA_RB* code. Upon return, the resource manager has rolled back the branch's work and has released all held resources.

Syntax

DBMS_XA.XA_END (
   xid   IN  DBMS_XA_XID,
   flag  IN  PLS_INTEGER)
RETURN PLS_INTEGER;

Parameters

Return Values

See Table 180-2, "DBMS_XA Constants for Possible Return Values". Possible return values in error are XAER_RMERR, XAER_RMFAILED, XAER_NOTA, XAER_INVAL, XAER_PROTO, or XA_RB*.

Usage Notes

• TMSUCCESS or TMSUSPEND may be specified in flag, and the transaction branch is disassociated with the current session in detached state if the return value is XA_OK. TMFAIL is not supported. XA_END may be called with either TMSUCCESS or TMSUSPEND to disassociate the transaction branch identified by xid from the current session.

• XA_OK is returned if XA_END succeeds. An application must check the return value and handle error cases. Only when XA_OK is returned, the application should proceed for other normal operations.

• Executing a ROLLBACK statement without calling XA_END first will rollback the changes made by the current transaction. However, the transaction context is still associated with the current session until XA_END is called.

• Executing a COMMIT statement without calling XA_END first will result in ORA-02089: COMMIT is not allowed in a subordinate session.

• Executing a COMMIT or a ROLLBACK statement after XA_END has no effect on the transaction identified by xid, since this transaction is no longer associated with the current session. To commit the transaction ID or the XA_ROLLBACK Function to commit/rollback the transaction specified by the xid.

Syntax

DBMS_XA.XA_FORGET (
   xid       IN  DBMS_XA_XID)
RETURN PLS_INTEGER;

Parameters

Return Values

See Table 180-2, "DBMS_XA Constants for Possible Return Values". Possible return values are XA_OK, XAER_RMERR, XAER_RMFAIL, XAER_NOTA, XAER_INVAL, or XAER_PROTO.

Syntax

DBMS_XA.XA_GETLASTOER  
 RETURN PLS_INTEGER;

Return Values

The return value carries the last Oracle error code.

Syntax

DBMS_XA.XA_PREPARE (
   xid   IN  DBMS_XA_XID)
RETURN PLS_INTEGER;

Parameters

Return Values

See Table 180-2, "DBMS_XA Constants for Possible Return Values". Possible return codes include: XA_OK, XA_RDONLY, XA_RB*, XAER_RMERR, XAER_RMFAIL, XAER_NOTA, XAER_INVAL, or XAER_PROTO.

Usage Notes

• If a user needs to prepare a transaction branch that is created by other users, FORCE ANY TRANSACTION must be granted to the user.

• An application must keep track of all the branches of one global transaction, and prepare each transaction branch. Only if all branches of the global transaction have been prepared successfully and XA_PREPARE has returned XA_OK, the application may proceed to call XA_COMMIT.

Syntax

DBMS_XA.XA_RECOVER 
 RETURN DBMS_XA_XID_ARRAY;

Return Values

See DBMS_XA_XID_ARRAY Table Type

Usage Notes

• The flags TMSTARTSCAN, TMENDSCAN, TMNOFLAGS are not supported.

• The privilege SELECT ON DBA_PENDING_TRANSACTIONS must be granted to the user who needs to call XA_RECOVER.

Syntax

DBMS_XA.XA_ROLLBACK (
   xid       IN  DBMS_XA_XID)
 RETURN PLS_INTEGER;

Parameters

Return Values

See Table 180-2, "DBMS_XA Constants for Possible Return Values". Possible return values are: XA_OK, XA_RB*, XA_HEURHAZ, XA_HEURCOM, XA_HEURRB, or XA_HEURMIX.

Usage Notes

If a user needs to rollback a transaction branch that created by other users, the privilege FORCE ANY TRANSACTION must be granted to the user.

Syntax

DBMS_XA.XA_SETTIMEOUT (
   seconds  IN  PLS_INTEGER)
RETURN PLS_INTEGER;

Parameters

Return Values

See Table 180-2, "DBMS_XA Constants for Possible Return Values". Possible return values are XA_OK, XAER_RMERR, XAER_RMFAIL, or XAER_INVAL.

Usage Notes

Only if return value is XA_OK, is the timeout value successfully set.

Syntax

DBMS_XA.XA_START (
   xid   IN  DBMS_XA_XID,    flag  IN  PLS_INTEGER)  RETURN PLS_INTEGER;

Parameters

Return Values

See Table 180-2, "DBMS_XA Constants for Possible Return Values"

Usage Notes

• If TMJOIN or TMRESUME is specified in flag, the start is for joining an existing transaction branch identified by the xid. TMJOIN flag should be used when the transaction is detached with TMSUCCESS flag. TMRESUME should be used when the transaction branch is detached with TMSUSPEND flag. XA_START may be called with either flag to join an existing transaction branch.

• If TMNOFLAGS is specified in flag, and neither TMJOIN nor TMRESUME is specified, a new transaction branch is to be started. If the transaction branch specified in xid already exists, XA_START returns an XAER_DUPID error code.

• Possible return values in error include: XAER_RMERR, XAER_RMFAIL, XAER_DUPID, XAER_OUTSIDE, XAER_NOTA, XAER_INVAL, and XAER_PROTO.

• XA_OK is returned if XA_START succeeds. An application must check the return value and handle error cases. Only when XA_OK is returned, the PL/SQL application should proceed for other normal operations.Transaction stacking is not supported. If there is an active transaction associated with the current session, may not be called to start or join another transaction. XAER_PROTO will be returned if XA_START is called with an active global transaction branch associated with the session. XAER_OUTSIDE will be returned if XA_START is called with a local transaction associated with the current session.
