TmPrepareEnlistment function (wdm.h)

The TmPrepareEnlistment routine initiates the prepare operation for a specified enlistment's transaction.

Syntax

NTSTATUS TmPrepareEnlistment(
  [in] PKENLISTMENT   Enlistment,
  [in] PLARGE_INTEGER TmVirtualClock
);

[in] Enlistment

A pointer to an enlistment object. Your component can receive this pointer as input to a ResourceManagerNotification callback routine. Alternatively, your component can call ObReferenceObjectByHandle and supply the object handle that a previous call to ZwCreateEnlistment, TmCreateEnlistment, or ZwOpenEnlistment provided.

[in] TmVirtualClock

A pointer to a virtual clock value. This parameter is optional and can be NULL.

TmPrepareEnlistment returns STATUS_SUCCESS if the operation succeeds. Otherwise, this routine might return one of the following values:

Return code	Description
STATUS_ENLISTMENT_NOT_SUPERIOR	The caller is not a superior transaction manager for the enlistment.
STATUS_TRANSACTION_RESPONSE_NOT_ENLISTED	The caller did not register to receive TRANSACTION_NOTIFY_PREPARE_COMPLETE notifications.
STATUS_TRANSACTION_REQUEST_NOT_VALID	The enlistment's transaction is not in a state that allows it to enter the prepare phase.
STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED	The caller does not have appropriate access to the enlistment object.

The routine might return other NTSTATUS values.

The TmPrepareEnlistment routine is a pointer-based version of the ZwPrepareEnlistment routine.

Only superior transaction managers can call TmPrepareEnlistment.
