DTCTransaction Event Class

Applies to: SQL Server Azure SQL Database

Use the DTCTransaction event class to monitor the state of SQL Server Database Engine transactions coordinated through Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator (DTC). This includes transactions involving two or more databases in the same instance of the Database Engine, or distributed transactions involving two or more instances of the Database Engine.

DTCTransaction Event Class Data Columns
