SYMPTOMS
You may receive an internal error when the Distributed Transaction Coordinator recovers after a failure.



CAUSE
When a superior Transaction Manager attempts to notify a subordinate Transaction Manager of a commit decision, it enters the NOTIFYING COMMITTED state. If the connection between the Transaction Managers is broken before sending the COMMITREQ message, the superior Transaction Manager does not properly catch the down event so that it can log the failure to deliver the commit message. This may leave the Distributed Transaction Coordinator in an inconsistent state when it recovers from a failure.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Transaction Server version 1.0. This problem was corrected in Microsoft Transaction Server version 1.1.

For information on obtaining version 1.1 or version 2.0, please see the following articles in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
