The Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MS DTC) Service Could Not Be Contacted
Sep 5, 2007
Hi all,
I am trying to updated data on a different database on a different server. I am using linked servers for this. I can do select,updated , insert using the linked server in the management console but when i try to update the tables on remote server thru trigger i get this message MSDTC on server 'myserver' is unavailable. i checked the distributed transaction co-ordinator service in services.msc and its show that its running. Then i checked the logs in sql server 2005 and i see the following message
"The Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MS DTC) service could not be contacted. If you would like distributed transaction functionality, please start this service."
i also see the the red stop icon on the distributed transaction co ordinator in under management in sql server 2005. i have enabled remote proc trans using sp_configure
Pls advise

We have a test db, a staging db and a live db. I have a stored procedure that runs fine on test and staging, but throws the following error on live.
The Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MS DTC) has cancelled the distributed transaction.
The stored procedure uses linked servers and a transaction.
We're using the following transaction code in the stored procedure
BEGIN
BEGIN TRANSACTION
BEGIN TRY
---
procedure stuff here
---
COMMIT TRANSACTION
END TRY
BEGIN CATCH
DECLARE @ErrorSeverity INT, @ErrorNumber INT, @ErrorMessage NVARCHAR(4000), @ErrorState INT
SET @ErrorSeverity = ERROR_SEVERITY()
SET @ErrorNumber = ERROR_NUMBER()
SET @ErrorMessage = ERROR_MESSAGE()
SET @ErrorState = ERROR_STATE()
IF @ErrorState = 0
SET @ErrorState = 1
RAISERROR ('ERROR OCCURED:%d', @ErrorSeverity, @ErrorState, @ErrorNumber)
IF XACT_STATE() < 0
ROLLBACK TRANSACTION
END CATCH
END
I found the following link which seems to be the problem we're experiencinghttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/937517
The link includes a workaround which is the following:
"To prevent the SQLNCLI provider from sending an attention signal to the server, use the SQLNCLI provider to consume fully any rowsets that the OLE DB consumer creates. "
How do I use the SQLNCLI provider to fully consume any rowsets?

Distributed transactions were happily running between our SQL servers and then we installed Windows 2003 Server SP2 and all of a sudden we got this nice error message when attempting a remote data update via linked servers. I couldn't even run "BEGIN DISTRIBUTED TRANSACTION" without getting the error message. The full error message is:
"Enlist operation failed: 0x8004d00e(XACT_E_NOTRANSACTION). SQL Server could not register with Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MSDTC) as a resource manager for this transaction. The transaction may have been stopped by the client or the resource manager."
Apparently, SP2 disables network DTC access (how nice, I feel more secure knowing that my data can't be updated remotely anymore).
Solution:
From Control Panel | Add or Remove Programs | Add Remove Windows Components
Select "Application Server" and click the "Details" button
Check "Enable network DTC access" and click OK for however many prompts it takes to apply the changes.
****NOTE**** this change WILL SHUT DOWN SQL SERVER so plan accordingly (this would have been handy to know in advance since I ran it in the middle of the workday and everyone got disconnected).
Hope this helps!

SQL Server version 7.0 (Service Pack 1)
When trying to start the Distributed Transaction Coordinator through Enterprise Manager, the following error is returned:
An error 1068 - (The dependency service or group failed to start) occurred while performing this service operation on the MSDTC service.
Any ideas?

Is it possible to query linked servers without the Distributed Transaction Coordinator service enabled or allowing network access?
Is that ONLY for transactions? What if I just wanted to read the data and nothing else?

Hi all,
In my ASP application, I've been using this code:
----------------------------------------------
dim conn, connectionstring
connectionstring= "Provider=SQLOLEDB.1; Data Source = blahblah; Initial Catalog = abc; User Id = osss; Password=xxx"
set conn = server.CreateObject("adodb.connection")
conn.open connectionstring
----------------------------------------------
It's just basically to set up the connection to the SQL server, it works on my other pages, but on a few pages, the last line (conn.open connectionstring) triggers this error:
"Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '8004d00a'
New transaction cannot enlist in the specified transaction coordinator. "
I've never encountered this error before and I couldn't think of any solution... please help!!!
Thanks so much,
Annie

Hi All
I'm getting this when executing the code below. Going from W2K/SQL2k SP4 to XP/SQL2k SP4 over a dial-up link.
If I take away the begin tran and commit it works, but of course, if one statement fails I want a rollback. I'm executing this from a Delphi app, but I get the same from Qry Analyser.
I've tried both with and without the Set XACT . . ., and also tried with Set Implicit_Transactions off.
set XACT_ABORT ON
Begin distributed Tran
update OPENDATASOURCE('SQLOLEDB','Data Source=10.10.10.171;User ID=*****;Password=****').TRANSFERSTN.TSADMIN.TRANSACTIONMAIN
set REPFLAG = 0 where REPFLAG = 1
update TSADMIN.TRANSACTIONMAIN
set REPFLAG = 0 where REPFLAG = 1 and DONE = 1
update OPENDATASOURCE('SQLOLEDB','Data Source=10.10.10.171;User ID=*****;Password=****').TRANSFERSTN.TSADMIN.WBENTRY

for reading the data i have write the Dynamic TSQL based on some condition and based on that it is using 25 different function to populate the data into different 25 column. Tsql returning correct data and is working fine in Enterprise manager. But in my SSIS package it show me time out ERROR.
I have increase and decrease the time to catch the error but it is still there i have tried to set 0 for commandout Properties.
if i'm using the 0 for commandtime out then i'm getting the Distributed transaction completed. Either enlist this session in a new transaction or the NULL transaction.

Hi,I'm having a problem running a distributed transaction between twolinked servers that both have multiple instances of SQL Serverinstalled on them. This is the error message that I receive:"The operation could not be performed because the OLE DB provider'SQLOLEDB' was unable to begin a distributed transaction.[OLE/DB provider returned message: New transaction cannot enlist in thespecified transaction coordinator. ]OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'SQLOLEDB'ITransactionJoin::JoinTransaction returned 0x8004d00a]."The query follows the format:"BEGIN DISTRIBUTED TRANUPDATE [LINKEDSERVER1INSTANCE_NAME].DB.OWNER.TABLENAMESET fieldname = alias2.fieldnameFROM tablename alias2JOIN [LINKEDSERVER1INSTANCE_NAME].DB.OWNER.TABLENAME alias1on alias2.urn=alias1,urn"[color=blue]>From what I can gather from various sources the SQL Server must be[/color]named the same as the computer which it is installed on. However, if Ihave two instances of SQL Server, they cannot both be named the same asthe computer. Does anyone know of a way around this or whether I'mbarking up the wrong tree completely?Many thanks.

Hi:
When I tried to run a remote proc (with one parameter of date to return a set of records (no problem in return records) and to insert to the local database table A, with following errors:
Server: Msg 7391, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The operation could not be performed because the OLE DB provider 'SQLOLEDB' was unable to begin a distributed transaction.
[OLE/DB provider returned message: New transaction cannot enlist in the specified transaction coordinator. ]

SET XACT_ABORT ON
BEGIN DISTRIBUTED TRAN
insert tblA(column1, column2, column3)
exec [remoteServerB].DBX.dbo.usp_XYZ '03/28/2006 '
COMMIT TRAN
Both remote SQL and Local SQL are SQL2000 with sp4 and both Distributed Transaction Coordinator are on.
Any idea? :rolleyes:

Hello,
I've got stuck trying to run distributed transaction on same machine with two SQL instances. ()
Running transaction from Query Analizer With SET XACT_ABORT ON it works fine.
(Without that - it throws an error about unable to begin nested distributed transaction).
But from Application (C++, ODBC) it waits for a while and throus an error: 'unable to begin distributed transaction' even SET XACT_ABORT ON is applied before issuing transaction in Stored Procedure.
What's happening here ?
Thanks in advance.

I’m attempting to insert the result set from a remote query into a local table and I’m getting the following error:
Msg 8501, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
MSDTC on server 'REMOTESVR' is unavailable.
OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'SQLOLEDB' ITransactionJoin::JoinTransaction returned 0x8004d01c].
Msg 7391, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The operation could not be performed because the OLE DB provider 'SQLOLEDB' was unable to begin a distributed transaction.
MSDTC is running on both servers. Has anyone ever seen this or have any insight into the cause?
The code that I’m trying to run is:
create table msver
(
[Index] int,
[Name] varchar(30),
Internal_Value varchar(20),
Character_Value varchar(512)
)
insert into msver
exec ('exec [REMOTESVR].master.dbo.xp_msver')
Note that the remote query works fine.
Thanks!

Hi, I have configured a linked server, and i have a procedure which makes an UPDATE in a local table using the data in the linked server.
Specifically, I have a function which checks if a given code exists in a linked server's table. The UPDATE changes the value of a column in a local table, if the function returns 1.
I've run the procedure and it gave an error after a few hours cause a simple conversion error inside the function. I solved the error. After this, the procedure did not work more. It gives me the following message:
Server: Msg 7391, Level 16, State 1, Procedure EXISTEONC, Line 16
The operation could not be performed because the OLE DB provider 'MSDASQL'
was unable to begin a distributed transaction.
(EXISTEONC is the function, and in the line 16 there is an OPENQUERY)
Im sure MSDTC is working... i'm lost because i dont know why it worked the first time and not now. Ive also wrote the function again as it was before, but it still doesent works.
Thanks a lot...

I was getting this error message from our Cold Fusion application front end when it was trying to execute one of our stored procedures.The operation could not be performed because OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI10" for linked server "SERVERNAME" was unable to begin a distributed transaction.
I was a bit puzzled by this because we don't use distributed transactions (at least I don't specifically code them). I did some research online and I found out how to modify the DTC component on the server to have the proper configurations.Then, when trying again we got this error message:
Unable to start a nested transaction for OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI10" for linked server "SERVERNAME". A nested transaction was required because the XACT_ABORT option was set to OFF.
So, I was able to resolve that as well by changing that option in the stored procedure...Now, there are 3 stored procedures - One does inserts; one does updates; and one does deletes.The actions are being done to a view in a database on another server. The view definition uses a linked server.
The error was/is only happening on the INSERT stored procedure. So, I'm a little baffled as to why it only bombs on the insert stored procedure and not the others. They are all coded in the same fashion..Do distributed transactions work differently if its an insert vs. update or delete? Why is it all of the sudden treating these as distributed transactions when they aren't coded as such?
The code is very simple and looks just like this:
INSERT vw_Name
SELECT bla, bla2, bla3
FROM local table
WHERE bla bla
And again vw_Name would be a table on another server that we have via Linked Server. It is also a SQL Server (but its SQL 2000).

I'm having problems with distributed transactions. I know this has been descussed a lot before, but i haven't been able to solve my problems anyway.
So, what do I try to do? I try to recieve data from one server (source) to a destination server with an integration services package using a transaction. The source server is a Windows 2003 server running SQL 2000. The destination server is a SQL 2005 Cluster on Windows 2003 Server. Both machines has MSDTC running and allowing both inbound and outbound transactions. I have run DTCPing and DTCTester successfully in both directions.
A bit simplified, my SSIS package looks like this.
Execute SQL Task (Delete old data on the destination server)
Data Flow Task
Get data from source using an OLE DB Source
Write data to destination using an OLE DB Destination
This works just fine if I in my topmost container set TransactionOption to supported, but if I change it into Required, my package fails with the error message:
Error: The SSIS Runtime has failed to start the distributed transaction due to error 0x8004D01B "The Transaction Manager is not available.". The DTC transaction failed to start. This could occur because the MSDTC Service is not running.
Could the fact that the destination is a cluster be a prolem here? I'm pretty sure I have successfully done operations like this in other environments, but without clusters involved.
Oh, one last thing. No firewall what so ever is runnig on or between the servers.
