Transaction Configuration

To administer log volumes, use the command line or use this screen in the Transaction window.

Server Transaction Properties

When starting NAS, NAS looks in the registry for the location of the directory root. In this location is an empty log file for each KJS.

NAS writes information about the state of all ongoing distributed transactions for that process.

NAS creates additional files called restart and restart.bak (a backup of restart) for each KJS, which record the location of the log file and the state of the logical and physical volumes.

Thereafter, whenever starting the server, NAS refers to the restart file for the location and state of the log file and does not refer to the registry.

If restart becomes corrupted, NAS uses restart.bak to determine the location of the log file and state of ongoing distributed transactions.

If both restart and restart.bak are corrupted, the transaction manager will become inoperable and you must cold-start the server.
