NAME

tkadmin abort transaction - aborts a transaction

SYNOPSIS

tkadmin abort transaction -server servername tid

ARGUMENTS

-server servername Specifies the server affected by the command. The server name is the name that is registered with the DCE Directory Service. If the server name is not specified in the command line, it is retrieved from an environment variable, ENCINA_TK_SERVER. 

tid Identifies the transaction. 

DESCRIPTION

The tkadmin abort transaction command aborts the transaction identified by tid. Only transactions that have not been prepared can be aborted via this command. The states of the unresolved transactions at the server can be obtained via the tkadmin list transactions command.  You can abort active or inactive transactions. 

Aborting a transaction frees all locks that were previously held by it. You can abort transactions that are obstructing the operation of the Toolkit server. 

Unresolved transactions that have reached the prepared state can be forced to a specific outcome using the tkadmin force transaction command. 

EXAMPLES

The following command aborts the transaction identified by tid 438:

% tkadmin abort transaction 438
