I keep seeing this return from running a DBCC OpenTran:
Transaction information for database 'Live_App'.
Oldest active transaction:
SPID (server process ID) : 92
UID (user ID) : 1
Name : DTCXact
LSN : (12837:1924:1)
Start time : Oct 4 2004 8:54:03:570AM
DBCC execution completed. If DBCC printed error messages, contact your
system administrator.
I don't see anywhere in code that begins a transaction with the name
DTCXact explicitly. Is this a generic name for any transaction that is
opened without an explicit name? The problem I am having with this is
that sometime it will start and may not get commited or rolledback for
quite some time. I have seen it remain for over 1 1/2 hours before.
Would that be caused by the application not cleaning it up?
Your help in explaining the source of this will be appreciated. I did
find an entry on Microsoft.com that used the word DTCXact. It was
talking about Transaction Propagation from Resource Manager To
Application. I'm not sure if this applies to what I am seeing here or
not.
Thank you.
