Monitoring and Managing Two-Phase Commit Transactions

The iIS two-phase commit protocol facilitates the synchronization of iIS process

engine operations with application transactions by making it possible to place iIS

engine operations in a transactional context. For information on this capability, see

“Monitoring and Managing Two-Phase Commit” on page199.

As a system manager, you can monitor and manage these iIS transactions, as

described in the following sections.

Monitoring Two-Phase Commit Operations

You can use Conductor Script commands to monitor the status of in-progress iIS

engine operations, as indicated in the table below. These commands print out the

transaction ID of any iIS operations that are in a PREPARE phase.
