OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI11" for linked server "linkedservername" returned message "The transaction manager has disabled its support for remote/network transactions."

  • I have a database in SQL 2014 AG group.- two nodes. On both nodes, a linked server is set up. I am selecting data from a table from a database from AG group and insert into a linked server (a database from another AG group) . only insert statement is in Transaction block.  It is not a distributed transaction.
    Why do i get the following error.

    OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI11" for linked server "LinkedserverListener" returned message "The transaction manager has disabled its support for remote/network transactions.".
    Msg 7391, Level 16, State 2, Line 2
    The operation could not be performed because OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI11" for linked server "LinkedServerListener" was unable to begin a distributed transaction.

    Sample code is a below.

    Drop table #Myatran
    Select 'ABC' name into #Myatran
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    DECLARE @pndstop_ps NVARCHAR(4000)
    SET @pndstop_ps =
    N'
    INSERT INTO '+ 'linkedserver'+'.DB.dbo.MyaTEST(Name) SELECT name FROM #Myatran
    '
    SET XACT_ABORT ON
    BEGIN TRANSACTION
      
        EXEC sp_executeSQl @pndstop_ps

                    
    SET XACT_ABORT OFF

    Thank you.

  • Your temp table will not be accessible as sp_executesql runs your SQL in a different session then the one you create the temp table in. You would need to make it global ##Myatran. Also enable distributed transaction, RPC and RPC out on the linked server. when you insert from a local table into a table on a linked server, that is a distributed transaction.

    Thank you.

    As Joe said, it is a distributed transaction. You don't need to use begin distributed transaction for it to be promoted to a distributed transaction. You do need to configure the Distributed Transaction Coordinator. There are some steps in this related article - refer to the Distributed Transaction Coordinator section for the steps:
    Setting up linked servers with an out-of-process OLEDB provider

  • I appreciate your answers. It explains why my transaction throws errors. we have SQL 2014 AG and it doesnt support DTC. I am trying to think a workaround. Thank you.

    You should be able to do it in Powershell - you can use write-datatable if you are using the SQLServer module. Otherwise the same cmdlet has been written as a function you can download from the TechNet script repository:
    Write-DataTable
