Error handling for distributed processing

The following error situations can occur with distributed processing:

• errors in one of the applications

• loss of connections between applications

• termination of one of the applications involved in open transactions

openUTM reacts to these errors with messages indicating the cause of the error. In the case of errors within an application, errors codes and usually a dump are created. The partner application is informed of the errors as soon as possible.

The roll-back and restart functions behave differently, depending on whether you are working with global transaction management or with independent local transactions.
