Administering the transaction service
We can view or change settings for the transaction service and manage active and prepared transactions. We can configure transaction properties to enable peer recovery of failed application servers in a cluster. Manage transaction logging to optimize the availability of application servers.

Subtopics
- Configure transaction properties for an application server
We can view or change settings for the transaction service. For example, we can change the location or default file size of the transaction log files, change transaction timeout properties, or change heuristic-related properties.
- Configure transaction properties for peer recovery
Peer recovery for the transaction service enables servers in a cluster to complete outstanding work for a failed cluster member. Follow the steps in this topic to configure the transaction properties required for peer recovery of failed application servers in a cluster.
- Manage active and prepared transactions
Use this task to manage active and prepared transactions that might need administrator action.
- (iseries)(dist) Manage transaction logging for optimum server availability
Manage transaction logging to optimize the availability of the application servers.
- Displaying transaction recovery audit messages
We can choose whether information messages are displayed on the console and written to the SystemOut.log file upon transaction service recovery. To do this, set the DISABLE_RECOVERY_AUDIT_LOGGING custom property for the transaction service for the server.
- Delaying the cancelling of transaction timeout alarms
If the before completion stage of a transaction process is likely to include processes that could either take a long time to complete or could fail, then you might want the transaction to time out.
- Remove entries from the transaction partner log
We can remove entries from the transaction partner log file. To do this, set the REMOVE_PARTNER_LOG_ENTRY custom property for the transaction service on the server that owns the partner log.
