Error using Begin Distributed Transaction.....

  • Hello,

    I'm getting the following error when using the begin distributed transaction in the following statement:

    But when i do not use the begin distributed transaction the error didn't appears

    CREATE TABLE [dbo].[EXAMPLE_TBL] (

    [EX_COD] [varchar] (30) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL ,

    [EX_DESC] [varchar] (30) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL ,

    [EX_NUM] [bigint]

    ) ON [PRIMARY]

    GO

    Error with distributed tran:

    BEGIN DISTRIBUTED TRAN

    DELETE FROM EXAMPLE_TBL

    INSERT INTO EXAMPLE_TBL Select * from openquery(MY_LNKSRV,'SELECT * FROM OUT_TBL')

    COMMIT TRAN

    Server: Msg 7391, Level 16, State 1, Line 4

    The operation could not be performed because the OLE DB provider 'MSDAORA' was unable to begin a distributed transaction.

    OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'MSDAORA' ITransactionJoin::JoinTransaction returned 0x8004d01b].

    output without distributed tran

    --BEGIN DISTRIBUTED TRAN

    DELETE FROM EXAMPLE_TBL

    INSERT INTO EXAMPLE_TBL Select * from openquery(MYPT_TCS,'SELECT * FROM PTC_CANAL')

    --COMMIT TRAN

    SELECT * FROM EXAMPLE_TBL

    EX_COD EX_DESC EX_NUM

    --------- -------- ------------

    10000 DESC_EX 1

    Can you help me because i'm lost with this error.

    Thanks and regards,

    JMSM 😉

  • Hi,

    is the Oracle instance you are querying running on Windows? If so, the default in Windows Server 2003 R2 + is to disable support for remote transactions. See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/817064 for Windows 2003 and http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753620(WS.10).aspx for Windows 2008.

    The specific error you are getting is due to MSDTC not being able to contact the transaction coordinator on the remote instance. Has this worked before?
