That's right. How can I find out which transaction is distributed and which isn't? And how do I kill it?
The scenario would be: 1. I log on to the db with the DBA account. 2. Query on v$transaction to get the list of transactions and find out who is running these from v$session. (What would be the query?) 3. Find out which of these transactions are distributed (query??) 4. Kill some such transactions depending on who is running them (How?) Had a quick look at the distributed databases guide but it doesn't mention anything on any of the above tasks.

One can either exit the session or issue a commit/rollback, after 'select' is done to terminate such a transaction. If that is not possible, then raising the value of the init parameter (or killing transactions) is the only choice. - Kirti -----Original Message----- Sent: Friday, December 06, 2002 6:29 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Dear Listers, Oracle 8.1.7 on HP-UX11 We have three databases, one master and two slaves. On the slaves resides a view which queries data from master using a database link. While querying from the view, we often get the error 'ORA-02042: too many distributed transactions'. We are pretty sure that the error is raised on slaves and not on the master. I found out that the 'distributed_transactions' parameter is set to a very low value, which is causing this error in the first place. But due to various reasons, this will not be possible soon. The only thing I can think of is to have a list of all the distributed transactions, check which ones can be killed and kill them. I tried the dba_2pc_pending table, but it doesn't have any records; still I am getting the ORA-02042 error. Which are the views that would give me more information about the distributed transactions? I would really appreciate if you can point out some document or article which treats this in detail. Thanks & regards, Charu PS: How to check the archives of this list? I logged on to www.orafaq.com and searched on 'ORA-02042', without any good hits. I have lost the mail received at the time of joining the list. ********************************************************* Disclaimer This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and is protected by law.
