Transactions imported and prepared
Use this page to review transactions that have been imported and prepared but not yet committed.
Under normal circumstances no administrative action is required for any of the transactions listed on this page. This page lists those transactions that are in a prepared state, but are being directed by an external transaction manager (for example, another WebSphere application server) from a transaction context that has been propagated.
Under aberrant circumstances, however, an administrator can configure WAS to resolve the transactions listed on this page independent of the external transaction manager. (This step might be necessary if, for example, the external transaction manager has become unavailable for an unacceptable period of time.)
