Distributed Transaction in different web services

[Avanish Pandey]

Hello All

We have 3 differen services (in 3 different server) Service A,B,C . We
want to implement distributed transaction when call methods of B and C
from A. Is it possible? if yes then how?

I have read the doc regarding this:
http://www.developer.com/net/asp/article.php/3385631

but it will not work when methods are in different services on
different server.

Thanks in Advance
Avanish

Hi Avanish,

it is better to use COM+ if you deal with distributed transactions.

Hi Avanish,

At present (.NET 1.0, 1.1), there is no automatic transaction support
across web service calls. If the services are on the same server, you may
want to think about putting the work in Com+ methods, and having your
individual services call the Com+ methods to do their work. This way, any
web service, with enterpriseServices enabled (the transactionOption=True
parameter), can call a Com+ or database query that is DTC enabled, and have
distributed transactions work. At present there is no direct support for
distributed transactions crossing web service boundaries. That is a
feature that is a commit in the Indigo timeframe.
