Kill a Distributed Transaction

Kill a Distributed Transaction:

|-- -Z--gtrid---------------------------------------------------|

Element	Purpose	Key Considerations
-Z gtrid	To kill a prepared TP/XA or distributed transaction associated with the global transaction id.	Restrictions: gtrid is the global transaction id of TP/XA or distributed transaction that has exceeded the amount of time that TXTIMEOUT specifies. Additional Information: This option is not valid until the amount of time that the ONCONFIG parameter TXTIMEOUT specifies has been exceeded. The -Z option should rarely be used and only by an administrator of a database server involved in distributed transactions.

Distributed transactions provide the ability to query data on different database servers. For more information see the IBM Informix: Administrator's Guide.

Warning:

If applications are performing distributed transactions, killing one of the distributed transactions can leave your client/server database system in an inconsistent state. Try to avoid this situation.
