What is a Local Transaction?

A local transaction is where a number of business operations are under the control of a single resource manager (typically the database resource manager). The TIBCO iProcess Engine process will be under the control of the resource manager so that the entire process will either be committed to the database or rolled back if one of the operations fail. The following diagram illustrates a procedure using EAI Database steps to update data in the local database.
