RESOURCE MANAGER FAILURE HANDLING IN A MULTI-PROCESS TRANSACTION ENVIRONMENT

A processor receives a request to perform a transaction, wherein each activity of the transaction is respectively associated with an application server process. The processor creates an entry in a mapping file, which includes at least information regarding the transaction, one or more resource managers to perform activities of the transaction, and the resources managed by the one or more resource managers. In response to detection of a failure of a resource manager of the one or more resource managers, the processor receives a notification from a call-back function of an XA specification switch of the resource manager associated with the failure. The processor identifies an application server process associated with the failure of the resource manager, and sends an event to terminate the application server process associated with the failure of the resource manager.
