Case Data Updates to the SQL Server using MSDTC

In a simple process where iProcess case data is being updated in the SQL database and an external database using an EAI plug-in, the transaction process involves the following:

1. The iProcess Engine starts a transaction by notifying the MSDTC.
2. The SQL Server resource manager enlists itself as part of the transaction with the MSDTC.
3. The external database resource manager also enlists itself as part of the transaction with the MSDTC.
4. If all the case updates are successful, the MSDTC performs a two phase commit operation with all resources that are enlisted as part of the transaction.
