System and method for reducing communications overhead in a distributed transactions environment by modifying implementation of the transaction end function

摘要

A system and method for reducing communications overhead in a distributed transaction processing environment such as an XA environment. In accordance with an embodiment communication overhead is reduced in a transaction by deferring a transaction end communication. The deferred transaction end communication is determined from a subsequent XA transaction communication thereby reducing the number of networks calls required for each transaction and enhancing system performance.
