Chapter 5 Introduction to Transactional Business Process Automation : What is a Distributed Transaction?

What is a Distributed Transaction?
A distributed transaction is where a number of related business operations (individual transactions) are grouped together so that they are put under the control of a transaction manager program (such as MSDTC). The integrity of the business data is maintained because all external systems being used (databases, document management systems, etc.) are either updated with information or left in their previous state if one or more of the steps fails.
If all the business operations (transactions) are successful, they can all be committed in one go. The information is stored in memory until the final transaction is reached when all the updates can be committed.
