On Windows, the driver can take advantage of Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS) capabilities, specifically, the Distributed Transaction Coordinator (DTC) using the XA Protocol. For a general discussion of MTS and DTC, refer to the help file of the Microsoft Transaction Server SDK.
NOTE: The DataDirect Connect for ODBC 32-bit drivers can operate in a 64-bit Windows environment; however, they do not support DTC in this environment. Only the DataDirect Connect64
for ODBC 64-bit drivers support DTC in a 64-bit Windows environment.
To enable DTC support, you must be accessing Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise 12.0 or higher. You can choose either Native OLE and XA protocol distributed transactions. See the Distributed Transaction Model option documented in
“Configuring and Connecting to Data Sources” for details.
