Scope This International Standard specifies the XA interface: the bidirectional interface between a transaction manager and a resource manager in an X/Open Distributed Transaction Processing (DTP) environment. The XA interface is not an ordinary Application Programming Interface (API); it is a system-level interface between DTP software components. This International Standard is technically identical to X/Open CAE Specification, Distributed Transaction Processing: The XA Specification (December 1991). Like that specification, this International Standard does not define the full aspects of the DTP model that pertain to communication.
