6.6.20.0: Transaction properties

General tabbed page

Application is recoverable
Indicates whether the application is recoverable. Recoverable processes (sometimes called recoverable applications) have the ability to undo operations on data when a transaction aborts, and they can recover modifications to data in the case of a system failure.
Local ID
Indicates a Transaction identifier (TID), a unique ID assigned to each transaction to identify all actions associated with that transaction. Each TID is unique to a given server and is known only by that server.
Global ID
Indicates an identifier that ties a transaction to all of its participating applications across different servers.
Top Level
Indicates a transaction that does not run within the scope of another transaction. A top-level transaction is the root of a transaction family, even if it is the only transaction in the family.
Local State
Indicates the state of a subtransaction visible only to its parent transaction.
Global State
Indicates the state of a transaction from the perspective of the transaction coordinator. This state is based on the local state of all the participants of the transaction.
Beginner Application
Indicates the application that originated the transaction.

Family tabbed page

A transaction family consists of all nested transactions that share a common ancestor. All members of a transaction family commit together and drop their locks simultaneously.

Parent
Indicates a transaction that starts another transaction. Subtransactions are called child transactions.
Top Ancestor
When transactions are nested, this value indicates the transaction that is the parent of the entire tree (family) of transactions.
Descendants
Indicates all subtransactions (child transactions) in a family of transactions.
Family Begin Time
Indicates the time that the transaction family was started. 

Properties tabbed page

Application properties
Indicates the application properties associated with the transaction. These properties are for use by IBM support only.
System properties
Indicates the system properties associated with the transaction. These properties are for use by IBM support only.

Participants tabbed page

A participant is an application that takes part in a transaction. An application is considered a participant in a transaction if it either initiates the transaction or receives a request on behalf of the transaction.

Direct participant list
Indicates the applications that are direct participants in the transaction.

Indirect participant list
Indicates the applications that are indirect participants in the transaction.

Family participant list
Indicates the transaction family members participating in the transaction.
