X/Open XA

In computing, the XA standard is a specification by The Open Group for distributed transaction processing (DTP). It describes the interface between the global transaction manager and the local resource manager.

The XA Specification describes what a resource manager must do to support transactional access. Resource managers that follow this specification are said to be XA compliant.
