Cause

MSDTC has not been configured properly.

Resolution

K2 blackpearl's modular architecture enables individual components to be distributed onto independent servers or systems. When distributed in this manner; should one component fail, the distributed operation should not prevent or hinder the operation of the distributed components. Transactions are executed per module.

DTC (Distributed Transaction Coordinator) must be enabled to support distribution transaction management between the K2 components. See the Enable and Configure the DTC Components topic for more information.
