SYMPTOMS
When you access later versions of DB2 to perform two-phase commit (2PC) transactions over TCP/IP by using Microsoft Host Integration Server 2004 Managed Provider for DB2, a failure occurs and the transaction is rolled back. When you try to perform a 2PC transaction in SQL Query Analyzer, you receive the following error message:
CAUSE
Versions of IBM DB2 that support XA Manager return additional data that Host Integration Server 2004 Managed Provider for DB2 cannot process. Therefore, a protocol violation occurs and Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MSDTC) aborts the transaction.
