CAN/CSA-ISO/IEC 14834-01 (R2009)

This National Standard of Canada is equivalent to International Standard ISO/IEC 14834:1996. 1 Scope This International Standard specifies the XA interface: the bidirectional interface between a transaction manager and a r esource manager in an X/Open Distributed Transaction Processing (DTP) environment. The XA interface is not an ordinary Application Programming Interface (API); it is a system-level interface between DTP software components. This International Standard is technically identical to X/Open CAE Specification, Distributed Transaction Processing: The XA Specification (December 1991). Like that specification, this International Standard does not define the full aspects of the DTP model that pertain to communication.
