1.3.1 OleTx Transaction Protocol (MS-DTCO) and TIP

The MSDTC Connection Manager: OleTx Transaction Protocol, as specified in [MS-DTCO], is a protocol for distributed transaction coordination. It is targeted for use in the enterprise and intranet environments. OleTx supports pull and push transaction propagation between two OleTx transaction managers (OleTx TMs) by using standard OleTx message exchanges. More information about transaction propagation is specified in [MS-DTCO] section 1.3.5.

TIP, as specified in [RFC2371], is an open-standard transaction protocol that is used for transaction coordination primarily in the Internet domain inside a trusted domain. TIP permits two or more protocol participants to operate under the scope of an atomic transaction. Similar to the OleTx Transaction Protocol, TIP supports two types of transaction propagation: TIP push propagation and TIP pull propagation. More information about pull and push transaction propagation is specified in [RFC2371] section 6.
