Example: Using the CLI XA transaction connection attributes

This example shows how to use the call level interface (CLI) XA transaction connection attributes.

Note: By using the code examples, you agree to the terms of the Code license and disclaimer information.
/*************************************************************************
** file = CLIXAEXMP1.c
**
** Example of a typical flow of work in an XA transaction using the CLI.
** 
** XA Functions used:
** 
**		      xa_open()	   -- Open an XA resource for use in a transaction
**		      xa_prepare() -- Prepare for commitment of work in the transaction
**		      xa_commit()  -- Commit work done in the transaction
**
** CLI Functions used:
**
**        SQLAllocHanle    SQLBindParameter    SQLDisconnect
**        SQLError         SQLExecute          SQLFreeHandle
**        SQLPrepare       SQLSetConnectAttr   SQLSetEnvAttr 
**
** This example will:
**	 - Open the XA transaction manager
**	 - Open a CLI connection and start a transaction for it using SQL_TXN_CREATE
**  - Do some commitable CLI work under this transaction
**  - End the transaction on the first connection using SQL_TXN_END
**  - Close the first CLI connection and open a second connection
**  - Use the SQL_TXN_FIND option to find the previous transaction
**  - Do more commitable work on this transaction and end the transaction
**  - Use the XA APIs to prepare and commit the work
