Transactions retrying resources

Use this page to review transactions with resources being retried.

If the transaction manager has prepared resources, but has lost contact with the resource managers before committing them or aborting them, then the transaction manager retries the commit or rollback requests to the affected resource managers. The number of times and frequency that the transaction manager retries such commit or rollback requests is configured on the Heuristic retry limit and Heuristic retry wait properties of the transaction service settings.

An administrator can use this page to make the transaction service abandon the retries of one or more transactions. If a resource manager cannot be contacted, WebSphere Application Server relegates that resource manager to an in-doubt (prepared) state. The administrator then needs to use mechanisms specific to the resource manager to resolve the in-doubt status.

(zos) WebSphere Application Server for z/OS can relegate the resource manager to an in-doubt (prepared) state only if the RRS transaction context is available. To view this console page, click Servers > Server Types > WebSphere application servers > [Content pane] server_name > [Container Settings] Container Services > Transaction Service > Runtime > Retry transactions - Review.
